I went through formal, but didn't get a bid from the two sororities I had put on my pref. card, so AST gave me a snap bid the morning of bid day. So I went through bid day like everyone else, but knew where I was going, lol.

Formal Recruitment Fall 2003...I knew about COB, but I wanted a chance to see all the sororities on campus and what they had to offer and go home to a chapter that was right for me. I was very lucky and got a bid to my first choice. I would have been happy either in Tri Sigma or in my 2nd choice, but Sigma is definiately my true home.

Formal rush, Fall 2000. I was a sophomore, and at the time I thought formal was the only way to join a sorority.

Formal Rush -- I pledged a chapter that made quota every year and was over total.

Informal Rush - it was sort of structured COB.

They had specific dates and times of parties, but you got yourself there on your own, could only stay for one party per round, but did not have to go to all houses. Then, after the third day, you did have to go back and rank. The next day you got invited to 2 prefs and from there on it was the same as formal rush.

I loved it (aside from missing skits - it was no frills except for Pref).

Formal Rush (I think that was right before the terminology switch) before classes started my freshman year -- 1997.

Formal Recruitment (Spring Semester my Freshman year...deferred recruitment)--I didn't even know that COR/COB even existed until recruitment was over and some of my friends that did not rush got a bid from one of the other sororities.

Went through formal rush, was dropped by all . Signed up for informal rush -- as it was called then -- and got a bid from Alpha Gam on November 5, 1970.

That was 35 years ago . . . I've been an Alpha Gam almost 2/3 of my life!
