There was definately a mix-up in Panhellenic. Apparently there was a huge computer problem and that is what prompted Gamma Chi's to contact people and tell them about a sorority giving an invitation to a girl and it ending with it not being true. Yes, it is frustrating but it wasnt the Gamma Chis fault.

how sad for all around....

volgirl2376 · #**213** 08-25-2003, 05:10 PM

Yeah - it was bad, and I feel sorry for all involved

IMO, you can go ahead and e-mail the president or rush chair of an org. that you know is COBing and express interest. I have been on the chapter's side of it, and if they are looking for women, the more the better.

RedFox,

Definitely contact the Panhellenic Advisor and ask what groups will be doing COB. That way you'll have an idea of where you can go. Don't be pressured though by the fact that you may get a bid quickly and you have to decide on the spot. If you need a day to think, that's ok.

Alright all..I've taken everyone's advice and contacted the VP of Panhellenic Recruitment. I asked her about juniors and what the situation is with taking them and I asked which sororities will be participating in COB which starts september 2nd. We'll see what she says and I'll let you all know.

Good luck, Pam! I hope you'll be able to COB!

Pam,

Good Luck w/ COB.

RedFox · #**223** 08-28-2003, 02:52 AM

The VP emailed me back...I'll find out who is COBing on Tuesday when I head over there. Any particular questions as to what I should be asking?

Are you heading over to sorority houses Tue or Panhellenic? If you are goin to Panhellenic, ask which chapters are holding events. Ask about how this process differs from formal recruitment, right on down to attire.

At the sorority houses-- Just like in formal recruitment, ask all the same questions and talk about your assets, just as you would have for a formal recruitment party. If you are warming up to a chapter, tell them that you like them, you feel comfortable, you really admire their sisterhood, etc. Don't be afraid to talk about your talents and attributes that make you an outstanding prospective member-- your performing talents, that you will be in school another 3 years, GPA, your unique experiences, etc.

Best of luck!

Pi Love and Mine
