Arizona Puppy Recruitment

[AOII Angel]

I had a great time helping the women at U of A Enter their preferences into ICS. UofA does a fabulous job explaining the MRABA to the PNMs. Most of the women I spoke with were very open minded and ready to take any chapter that gave them a bid. Only a handful SIP'd. I had one girl withdraw with two good options. She was being pressured to go through by family.

The dresses were shockingly casual to me coming from the South. I saw more than one fluorescent pink dress. It's the campus, though, and they all looked cute. I told one girl that she was dressed perfectly for her first choice, Kappa, since she was wearing blue. She said, "Really, why?" When I said her dress was blue, she laughed and said, "Yeah, you'd think I'd know that by now!" I also had a PNM preffing ChiO wearing red with a horseshoe charm necklace? She seemed surprised when I mentioned the combination was significant to ChiO. I don't think many PNMs think these things through, but maybe it doesn't matter.

We had someone from Nationals checking out the campus on the first day of recruitment. She said it was the friendliest campus visit and felt very welcomed. I'm so glad all the gals in the West treated her kindly and with open arms. I'm sure it just confirms their decision to go in and colonize in the Fall of 2013!

I'm glad. UofA desperately needs more groups on campus, and a successful recolonization for AXO is so important!

Quota went down this year. Last year my chapter took like 97 (some retardedly high number), the year before was like in the 80's. Not that 70 isn't huge as well, but new member classes that equal almost the actives is craziness. The campus DEFINITELY needs expansion.

When is AXO coming back? Has the campus opened up for expansion beyond them? I know it's tough since chapters have to be housed and all.

AXO will be recolonizing in 2013. There are no plans beyond that.
