If I knew then what I know now...

But I got the outcome I most desired, so I guess if I had it to do all over again I wouldn't change a thing.

it never gets out of our systems!!

AUMom2, when i was a recruitment adviser, at the beginning of every new recruitment season, i would tell my girls that all i asked of them was to make sure that the pnm left with a good impression of ZTA-the chapter would not be the right fit for everyone, but if the girl left thinking,"what a great group of young women", then i would consider they had done a good job.

FSUZeta, I love that!

I'm glad that I'm not the only one to return to this site. Emma, who pledged DZ at Auburn last year, had a wonderful year. She was very excited to return to Auburn this week and move in with her sisters.
If anyone can provide any advice on her first recruitment on the other side, I'd appreciate it. This, too, is a new experience for them.
I can't wait to hear new stories.

FSUZeta, I told my daughter exactly what you said. She said, "Thanks, that sounds like great advice." Thanks!

Hard to believe that this story is 10 years old!
Talked with a good friend who is membership adviser for a group at Auburn. Bid Day was today. She said that virtual recruitment went very well and that all chapters made quota. I think that not standing in long lines all day in 95 degree weather and hearing tent talk all day long may have made recruitment less stressful for PNMs and the actives could concentrate on conversation and not door stacks or songs and all of that screaming and jumping around that they have done in the past! I think quota was 80.

I saw a picture online from Auburn of a group of women from their Eagle program who went through Recruitment and received bids. They looked so happy!,

Wasn't this the year that we had two separate dads writing about their daughters' recruitments? AuburnDad and BamaDad? BamaDad changed his name to be his daughter's sorority.

I think the BamaDad thread was in 2005.
