A Northeast recruitment story!

[XAntoftheSkyX]

The timing doesn't exactly line up with my school, I think people move in this week. Oh well.

Since Artemis is my favorite greek goddess, I'll root for her twin- Apollo! Cant wait to hear more and I hope everything goes well

[sa1amander]

Ah, Athena is my favorite Greek goddess, so I'm hoping they make a better impression on you next time! Good luck, and I'm glad you're enjoying yourself so far.

Obviously I have to go with Poseidon cause thats our god. but based on what you've said, Appollo!

Hey hey! So, I skipped my orientation day (last night) because it really wasn’t a big deal. I just met with my group leader and girls in my group. At my school we visit the girls in different large rooms in 1 building. There were only 12 or 13 other girls in my group. Everyone’s super nice. Now onto the good stuff! I had my first day of RUSH. I can honestly say I LOVED it and had such a hard time ranking. Here’s the scoop in the order I visited them..

Aphrodite- This was my first group, so I was a little nervous. As soon as they opened the door my nerves went away. Their chant was adorable and I met one girl and talked to her the whole time. She was a little awkward at first, but eventually we found common ground and had a really nice conversation! I liked them.

Athena- In my last post my impression was not very good, but it totally changed! I was bumped a few times in the beginning, but then talked to a girl for a really long time. She was SO nice, as well as everyone else in this group. I really loved their whole vibe and felt good here.

Apollo- This was one of my favorites. Their song and cheer immediately got stuck in my head. The knew a few girls in this chapter already, but I didn’t get a chance to talk to them because I was too busy chit-chatting away with others! The conversation was amazing and we didn’t just talk about the typical stuff like “what’s your major?” “how are you feeling about Greek life?” lalala. The girls seemed so interested and I really felt at home.

Poseidon- This group was pretty good. Not as great as the others, but it was nice. I was rushed by 1 girl the whole time. Like the last time I met with them, my memory of them still isn’t THAT strong. I just remember the girl talking about other things that were kind of irrelevant as opposed to things I wanted to know.

Zeus- This group was also great! I was rushed by 1 girl and the conversation flowed so naturally. I felt like I knew her forever because we talked about so much! She was a founding member of the sorority and it’s grown so much since then. It was nice to see someone with so much pride.

Hermes- I wasn’t able to meet them at the pre-recruitment event, but I don’t think that would’ve boosted their impression. I was bumped once and I just didn’t really get any sort of vibe from them. They were nice girls, but a little too granola for my taste. It just didn’t feel right for me.

Chaos- They say “save the best for last” and in this case that statement is totally true! As of right now, this is the sorority I want to be apart of. The girl who rushed me was absolutely amazing how much we had in common was INSANE. I’m in an individualized major at my school (aka make your own major), and I had yet to meet anyone in my major until I met this sorority! The girl who rushed me ended up being in the same individualized major AND wanted to do the same things with it as I do. I felt so at home, they were so laid back and I felt immediately at home. I LOVE THIS SORORITY.

That’s basically it, I had to rank them 6 #1’s and 1 #2. The 2 is the one I would drop. This is how I ranked them on my card..

(no order)
1. Apollo
1. Chaos
1. Athena
1. Aphrodite
1. Poseidon
1. Zeus
2. Hermes

Here are my favorites, ranked..
1. Chaos
2. Apollo
3. Zeus
4. Athena
5. Aphrodite
6. Poseidon
7. Hermes

I can get invited back to 6 tomorrow! I'd be happy to get invited back to any other than Hermes, really. I have a feeling it might be on my schedule for tomorrow, though.

Congrats and welcome to Pi Beta Phi!

[redsox]

If you want to know my school you can PM me. And the reason I got pref and bid day mixed up was because they were the same day. Pref was at 9AM Monday and bid day was at 6pm the same day.
