Who is rushing Fall 2012/Spring 2013?

[Sarah94]

I'm rushing as a freshman!

There are a group of girls going through recruitment from my dd's HS. They are are friendly with each other AND ALL of them would make great NM's for any group on campus. The HS is very close to the college campus and usually there is only 1 girl going through from the HS. It will be fun watching them go through.

My daughter will be going through recruitment at Auburn! I was not in a sorority, so this whole process of securing recommendations has been an interesting experience for us. I have lurked on Greek Chat for a while trying to learn everything possible from you ladies. Thank you all so much for your providing so much invaluable information!

rahAU5, you may have seen above that my daughter is also going through recruitment at Auburn, so it looks like we're in this together. I am in a GLO, but my "rush" was so long ago and things have changed so much since then that I don't really have an advantage when it comes to helping her get recs and letters. WAR EAGLE to you and a belated WAR EAGLE back atcha, carnation!

War Eagle! I'm glad to know there is another Auburn mom here! I am excited and nervous for my daughter at the same time. With help and advice from a few hometown ladies she has recommendations for all but one of the chapters at Auburn. We just didn't have anyone in our community nor neighboring communities that was a member of that particular GLO. Yikes! Of course, I worry that she will fall in love with this sorority and not have a recommendation on file. I hope that if that is the case they will love her as well and secure a recommendation for her. At this point ... it is what it is. I'm sure we will need to encourage one another as our girls go through this process.

It's great that y'all have each other for recruitment mom buddies! It's not an easy week for moms or their daughters.

Warrrrrrr EAgle! HEY!!!!

YAY, another Auburn Mom. I am a nervous wreck because no one in my family has ever been Greek. Most of our friends are in one of three sororities and our church is evenly divided between the same three as well. If you don't mind me asking, did you have to go to the Panhellenic Council to get some recs or did you know people from 16?

If there is an alumnae panhellenic chapter or alumnae chapters of individual sororities, or both, in or near your town, your daughter might consider contacting them to ask for help in securing the missing recommendations. Ya'll might also look to see if the local alumnae chapters are on Facebook.

My daughter had 16 of 17 as well, but just secured #17. Whew! Rah, if you'll send me a pm and let me know your hometown and which one you need, I'll see if I can help. If it happens to be my chapter, I can at least put you in touch with the right person.

[rahAU5]

That sounds great! Thanks so much!

Going through recruitment in the Fall and cannot wait! I know it's two months away but the anticipation is killing me!

[IrishLake]

I can't wait to hear the upcoming recruitment stories!

There is a very small, minute possibility that the daughter of my office-mate will go through recruitment at Vanderbilt this winter. He is an Alpha Phi Alpha, and she received a scholarship from one of the Divine 9 Sororities. But she's expressed an interest in NPC sororities as well. I've told both of them if she decides to go the NPC route, I will try my hardest to help her secure recs to all of the groups at Vandy!

Hometown girl is rushing at Arkansas next month -- completely unheard of where we're from. A BIG THANK YOU TO THE "GC AUNTIES" (her words) FOR HELPING HER SECURE RECS.

I hope to get a story from her, but I'll take an update here and there!
