South Carolina Fall 2010!!

[Katmandu]

South Carolina time!

My God daughter is in her first recruitment event tonight, an orientation meeting where they meet their Pi Chis and learn the ins and outs of recruitment, Columbia style.

So... it is time to start a thread for all of the lovely women and nervous rec writers, moms, and God moms to post stories and results for SC. I hope others who are either participating or waiting out recruitment at Columbia will join in the conversation.

I understand that last count is about 1150, but I have also heard a much higher number of PNMs--so much higher I don't trust it completely.

The girls are split into two orientation meetings tonight, one at 7:30 and one at 8:30. First round is Tuesday, when they visit all ten chapters.

My God Daughter is a midwestern gal. Surprisingly, SC is a popular destination for boys and girls from this region, and she is one of many people from her school and city to begin school in Columbia, Charlotte, and other points south.

There are ten fabulous sororities on campus.

Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Chi Omega
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Zeta
Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Phi Mu
Zeta Tau Alpha

She is a legacy to one of these groups and my sorority is on campus as well. We worked hard to secure recs, and have one or more to each group on campus except for one. We have talked to her about keeping an open mind, not listening to tent talk, playing it through to the end, etc. I hope those conversations took root!

I am very excited and nervous.. I don't have a daughter, so this is my "legacy" until I have some granddaughters.

She is a super student with many academic awards, good activities, an athlete who is cute, slim and tan... in other words, in SEC world, she is a typical rushee.

Those of you from SW Ohio will get these codes... they are icons of life along the Ohio River.

In no particular order:

Proctor & Gamble
Oktoberfest
Graeter's
Skyline
Aglamesis
Gold Star
Delta Queen
Serpentine Wall
Rookwood Pottery
Big Red Machine

Good luck to all of the PNMs and chapters at South Carolina.
