Not to scare you but girls like you who don't make it their life's work to understand the process can actually hurt the futures for a lot of girls.
Thank you for sharing that information with me; I have heard some of those myths before so that will be very helpful to know. I'm not saying that I'm not interested in understanding the process. I am going to do everything I can to make sure the girls in my group have a positive experience and end up in the perfect house for them. However I don't know everything about this position yet, as I just got it two days ago. Since I have 6 months to prepare, I'm sure I will be able to help the girls to the best of my ability when the time comes.
You have plenty of time. Don't be surprised if your colleagues don't have a clue about a lot of this or even tell you you're wrong. As you know, there's a wealth of knowledge here! I will look forward to reading a rush thread about your girls.

Thank you guys for your help! This is a great place to talk about recruitment counselor tips. Let me know if you have any other information that helps. I will definitely keep you updated on the process and on the girls in my group (although I won't know who they are until over the summer).
I picked out my dress for the disaffiliation ceremony already so I might be jumping the gun on that, haha. But I'm just excited. Plus it gave me an excuse to buy a chevron dress.
Congratulations! I am a proud Alpha Gam today because of my recruitment counselor. When I thought my whole world had collapsed and was certain that not being invited back to "the one, the only one place that I belonged" meant that I should drop out of recruitment because sorority life just wasn't for me, she hugged me, let me cry for a few minutes and then put her hands on my shoulders and told me to wipe my tears and smack a smile on my face and go to the three Pref parties that I was invited to. I love that girl.
Hope to hear more from the RC point of view!
