A Live Recruitment Story!

[goneskating]

I just got the schedule for Rush Week!

It goes-

Orientation
First Round
First Round Part 2
Second Round
Third Round
Preference
Bid Day

I'm getting very excited and nervous...I've started to plan outfits but I'm not entirely sure what to wear.

We have deferred recruitment here too, and it is hard for girls to not go in with ideas about what organization they want to join. I'm really glad you're going through with a more open mind about these things, because opinions can change from day to day.
Even if you don't get some of your favorites for the next day, you should go to every party and give each of the remaining groups a fair chance. They invited you back because they saw something in you.
I wish I could say these things to girls I know going through recruitment, but unfortunately I can't right now =[. Good luck with yours!

lol, no problem, and don't worry, once you've been around here a little while, you'll know what people are saying even when they talk in code

I just finished preference round today, and I am more nervous than ever before. I got my schedule today, and I had:

Rugby
J Crew

I was surprised that J Crew had invited me back! I still hadn't felt the connection the previous day and had made myself look like an idiot by spilling water on my dress, but I was flattered that they still asked me to preference. And of course, I couldn't have been happier about Rugby!


J Crew: I was really surprised here today. I was greeted by my upperclassman friend at the door, and immediately felt more comfortable than I had felt all week here. Some of the older girls shared memories about their time in J Crew and started crying. It was really touching because you could see how close some of them were, and I teared up a little bit. The bond I saw was exactly what I am looking for in a sorority. The preference round here made me feel like J Crew did a complete 180. My decision would rely on how preference at the other house would go...


Rugby: I looked around when I got here at the other PNMs standing in line, the ones who could potentially be members of my pledge class. The girls were gorgeous but oddly I wasn't intimidated the way I had been all week long. We kind of shared a nervous energy, and all the girls were talking about how badly they wanted Rugby. I was greeted here by an upperclassman I had known long before formal recruitment started, and again felt right at home. Some of the other girls I had become close with during the process came and told me how happy they were I was back, and the sister who was preffing me told me that she had come to think of me as a little sister. I felt so loved and wanted by Rugby, and I truly felt at home. Their ceremony was beautiful, and I cried during it.


At the end of the night, I went with all the other PNMs to voting, and our rho chis told us that we had to be dead silent. I didn't take too long to vote, because I knew where I wanted to be...

I'm so glad you enjoyed BOTH your pref ceremonies. Best of luck to you!

Over the Holidays, I met up with four Phi Sigs from my school. They all pledged in the early 1970's and have been in each other's lives ever since. They see each other several times a year even though they live about a thousand miles apart. They are true sisters. I hope that you find such sisterhood with your Phi Sigs.
