I'm thinking of going through informal spring recruitment at UW-Madison, so I'm looking forward to that. It's at the end of January, just one week this time, I think. I'm not sure what sororities are doing it, but my friend in Alpha Phi said her sorority is doing it. If anyone finds out what sororities are doing informal recruitment at UW, let me know!

Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio has women's and men's rush in the spring since 2000, I believe. Spring rush was originally planned for a four year trial period, but there hasn't been any word on if the Greek Life Staff is planning on switch back to fall or not. The sorority members (Phi Mu, Alpha Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Zeta, Zeta Tau Alpha) like Spring Rush overall, but the frats are definitely missing Fall Recruitment(Pi Lambda Phi, Phi Kappa Tau, Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Lambda Chi Alpha). It's my first year on this side of rush so I am excited to see how everything goes down!

I believe Gamma Phi Beta is, I'm not sure, but I will check - and I just saw all the houses at Madison, they are gorgeous!

No Spring rush at WCU, just COBs, thank god, I hate rush

tinydancer · #52 01-06-2003, 11:58 PM

Just for interest, why do you hate rush? OK I am just that nosey!
If you don't mind telling, that is.

SnakeyKPledge-- I PM'ed you.

maggieaxid-- I tried to PM you but your box was full! Then I decided that my message wasn't that private...

so here 'tis:

Yes, I have a very close friend from high school that pledged Sigma Kappa at Elon last year. She has spoken very highly about all the groups there. I visited the school but at that time did not think the Greek system was something I was interested in. I would love to go back and see the chapters there now!

Ironically my friend at App and my friend at Elon were like best buds in high school... I thought it was so cute that they both fit with SK at their schools! They share even more now and still do stuff together all the time.

Hey, thanks for responding GeekyPenguin! I sent you a pm, so I'd love it if you let me know if GPhiB was doing spring recruitment!

...our Gamma chapter at UW Madison will not be doing COB since they made quota during Fall Rush. Sorry

Cele is correct. UWGirl, I'm sorry I didn't answer your PM, but my computer is not promoting the highest form of computerhood right now and after like 9 tries I gave up. I'll ask around with my Greek friends from Madison and see who else is - you can't go wrong with most of those sororities - and they all have such gorgeous homes! I was up there the other day getting some stuff from the bookstore and was so impressed with ours, as well as KKG and Pi Phi, but they're all incredible compared to my chapter's house. Good luck, and please let us know how it goes!

I love the Gamma Phi Beta and Kappa Kappa Gamma houses at Madison -- they are gorgeous. I like the Delta Gamma house a lot too. And the Chi Phi fraternity house is my absolute favorite on all of Greek row; it has been since I was tiny.

From what I remember from recruitment, almost all of the houses had equally beautiful interiors.

maggieaxid · #58 01-07-2003, 08:22 PM

breathes- what a small world! I probably wouldn't know your friend, bc i am slowly coming to the realization that i am getting old- granted i graduated in 2000. anywhoo, sigma kappa has a great chapter at elon, they colonized the fall of my sophmore year, so i had already become a sister of AZD. But a few of my good friends were SK's and they loved it!

Too bad Pi Phi wasn't at elon- I am a legacy, however when I was looking at schools, greek life wasn't at the top of my list either!

Rollins College in Orlando starts rush January 26. Wish our girls luck. This will be AOII's first formal recruitment

The University of Alaska Fairbanks is having formal recruitment beginning the 21st of January. aurora_borealis, what sorority are you in at UAA?
I wish all of you having formal recruitment the best of luck and remember to have fun!
