This is the first year since I was initiated that I'll miss recruitment. Recruitment in Riverside is in the last 3 weeks of my pregnancy and by then, I'll be too big, cranky & tired to do much if I haven't given birth yet. All I can do this year is pre-order food & snacks for the girls to get them through the hectic days of recruitment. I'm excited about my baby but also a little sad I'll miss this fun (and admittedly exhausting) weekend.

Here is the link to University of Louisville's Bid Day from Flickr. A former student of mine is the president of her chapter and had posted it. Hopefully it will work. if it doesn't, copy and paste it in your browser.

I have a new "winner" for the wait-until-the-last-minute-to-ask-for-a-rec award: recruitment starts tomorrow. She called this afternoon. She was, however, highly qualified, not to mention suitably embarrassed and penitent, so hey.

Bless her heart.

The University of South Carolina had 200 more pnms sign up than the previous year. They also extended rush to a 2 week period.

wow - what a terrible indictment of sorority life. I hope they will publish a counterpoint article that can represent equal time. So sorry for Alpha phi which, based on the article and responses, appears to be a smaller group on campus and probably does not need the negative press.

sad. Shame on the newspaper and the reporter for such an obvious bias.

Exactly. The comments to the article were very interesting and sad as well.

Not sure they are a smaller group. But they have been on campus a long time unless the chapter closed and then returned recently.

According to irishpipes' BORT (Big Ole Recruitment Thread), the chapter closed in 1998, and reopened in 2007.
