Alpha Xi Delta was my first thought, too...although I also thought it could be Alpha Phi.

Thanks for sharing and congratulations to your cousin!

Background:
“Abby” received an amazing scholarship at an out of that school that was too good to pass-up. Her friends were mostly attending in state schools but there was one other student from her high school attending the same college as her. She went to a small high school so she knew him, but they weren’t in the same social circle.

So Abby decided to go through recruitment to make new friends and find a home away from home. A couple of girls from her floor where also going through recruitment, but they weren’t the instant friends that she was hoping to have.

There are 6 sororities with a new colony coming on campus. The sororities will be names after the different dancers on dance moms:

Brooke
Chloe
Kendall
Maddie
Mackenzie
Nia
Paige

Day 1:

Brooke: This was her first impression of sorority life at her school. She liked them, but she didn’t leave ready to sign her name on a bid. Overall, she wanted to come back to meet more sisters before making her decision.

Chloe: Abby liked Chloe more than Brooke. She seemed to have more in common with the sisters she met and they were very impressed when she mentioned she chose to come to this school because of her scholarship. Abby would like to return to Chloe.

Kendall: Kendall is the colony on campus. She was very impressed with their presentation and decided she would keep them as an option.

Maddie: There was nothing wrong about her time at Maddie. She had good conversations with sisters and had things in common with them but she felt like something was missing. She didn’t care if she got invited back or not.

Mackenzie: Abby feel in love with this chapter (as well as everyone else in her recruitment group). She had the best conversations with them and thought they were everything she was wanting in a sorority. They are her clear favorite.

Nia: After Mackenzie, no one could have gone well. They were nice girls, but Abby knows she wants to be somewhere else.

Paige: Abby had a similar experience at Paige that she did at Nia. She liked Nia a little better though. This was her least favorite of the day.

After Paige, it was time to rank. She had a clear favorite: Mackenzie. Honestly, as long as she had Mackenzie on her schedule, she didn’t care what others were on her list. But since she had to rank more than one as her first choices, she listed:

1. Mackenzie
1. Chloe
(Kendall)
1. Brooke
1. Maddie
2. Nia
3. Paige

Abby is not a legacy any where on campus. However, she does have an aunts in Brooke and Chloe. She also has cousins in Mackenzie and Nia.
