Smile The 2006 Carnation Rush Thread

Hola! For about the first time since 2000, none of our daughters are rushing (for newbies, I have 5 Greek daughters so far). But we do have several friends whose daughters are rushing, so upon request from several GCers, I will try to do a recruitment thread for all of them.

Right off hand I can think of 5 girls who are rushing at Auburn, 1 at Ga Tech, and 1 at UGa. All of them and/or their moms have promised to update me but that may fall through once parties start!

Recruitment parties start at Auburn on Monday. War Eagle! The first 2 days, they'll have 16 ice water teas (8 each day). The next 2 days, they have 12 parties, 6 each day. Cuts should be heavy after those parties. Now I'm forgetting exactly which parties they have next but they finish with 3 pref parties and Bid Day is the 13th. Bid Day is a huge big deal at Auburn, with hundreds of parents going down to be outside when their daughters get their bids and run to the sorority receptions.

I'm going to be really original this year! I'm going to call the girls Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, and Purple. (Rainbow order is the only way I can remember who's who.) I'll try my best to get daily updates although I won't contact them until first parties are over--it's so wild at first. Good luck, Rainbow Girls!

A Pi Phi alum just told me that over 1300 women have registered!

Holy crap that's a lot! Doing the math quickly in my head 1300/16 = potential pledge classes of 81!?

but you also have to account for the women who will be dropped or will drop out themselves.

If 25% drop / get dropped, potential pledge classes (quota) would be 61. Still quite large.

Are you going to keep track of the 2 non-Auburns too? Where do they fit in the Rainbow scheme?

Sending them good thoughts!

LOL. They can be Orange and Indigo. Of course, my husband the science teacher had to point out that I got the first 5 in the wrong order of the rainbow, I just knew I was going to do that. Tough, it gets left that way at this point!

Here's hoping for frigid temperatures in the eighties and no rain during the day!

How many Greek children do you have Carnation? And are any of your daughters your sisters?

Six daughters and one son have gone to college so far and we have 2 AOIIs, 2 Chi Os, a Zeta, a Phi Mu, and a Sig Ep. No Pi Phis yet! Maybe in 3 years!

I forgot about this mostly Auburn thread from 2006. All 3 have graduated! Minor glitch when Yellow's younger sister pledged Red's sorority, lol.

To the top!
