Jolene, website says UCLA is now Fall 2017

Jolene -- I would say recolonization for AXD at UCLA is hopeful for Fall 2017. Reallly need about 3 chapters to do well in recruiting/retention this next year, so we're not bringing on a new group only to lose another sorority to low numbers. This was a big discussion at the May all-row Advisor meeting.

She was super super involved in a ton of activities and her grades were fair. High enough to rush by IMO low enough to likely get cut by a lot of houses. I guess we'll see. But I found it a little rude she couldn't bother to send a Thank You email when I told her her rec was submitted.

It is certainly worth taking a chance by contacting your local Alumnae Panhellenic. In addition, your daughter might teach out to the alumnae who wrote recs for her, asking them if they know an alumna of YZ sorority, as she is missing that one.

I have a final tally. It's no longer my "lucky 7" group but, now it's "lucky 9" I guess.

*Alabama (6)
*Auburn (1)
*Oklahoma State (1)
*College of Charleston (1)

I am excited to see where these young ladies end up. I'm probably most excited about my Auburn and College of Charleston ladies. Some of you know why I am excited to hear how my Auburn girl does

during recruitment.

I am writing a rec for a girl going to Texas Tech. I am worried. I have talked to her about cleaning up her social media accounts and she refuses to do so. There are not any party pictures, just tons of her and her boyfriend. Some are of them kissing and others are of them in swim suits with their hands all over each other.

How much will this impact her?

I wouldn't worry about it 1-because there's nothing worry can solve and 2-that doesn't sound worthy of worry. None of us pledge future nuns. She's a real person with an actual boyfriend. I don't think they'll read more into it than that.

I wrote one for a girl going to Alabama.

Is Oklahoma State the 1st recruitment again this year? If so, they start THIS Saturday!
Bid day, next Saturday, August 13. Good luck to all participating!

I've got a TCU, Georgia and Bama this year.

My niece (a legacy in my organization) is going through recruitment at a Big 12 school. She is the first of my nieces to go through recruitment, so the first legacy, so I am really excited for her! I told her not to listen to tent talk and form her own opinions. She's a great girl with a great resume, but she is competing with hundreds of women with similar or even better credentials. We will see how it goes!

honeychile · #14 08-08-2016, 04:32 PM

I filled out five recs this season, but I'm fairly certain that all but one has been covered by other alumnae. If I hear the details of the one, I'll add them.

Best of luck to all!

So, my son will be a freshman at the university where I'm a professor. I was talking to our fraternity/sorority coordinator about sorority business and he told me that every year is different, but this year's IFC exec is really organized and they've planned a couple coordinated rush events.

Anxiety level when daughter went through recruitment: 8 out of 10
Anxiety level while son is preparing to rush: 2 out of 10 (this may be an overestimation)
