I'm so excited for all of you! Going through recruitment on either side is so exciting, and I wish everyone good luck. I must say....it is nice to see January roll around and not be planning all of the events. There are benefits to alum life

Is recruitment over at Valpo? How did they do?

Those are some great choices, UWGirl! And sugar and spice is a DDD!

I know! I'm really excited about spring recruitment now, because one of the sororities that is doing spring recruitment was one that I really liked a lot when I went through fall recruitment. Wish me luck!!!

Not yet! I'm driving out tomorrow to assist the chapter with Theme Night (girls narrow to 4 of the 7 sororities), staying for Saturday's Preference Night (narrowed to 2 sororities), and Sunday is Bid Day. Dunno what I'll be doing on bid day, but I hope to get the names/hometowns/majors of the new alphas for the webpage, and take lots of photos for the page! It's set to go from 3-8 p.m. Sunday.

I'm sure we'll know more by Monday! : )

Thanks for posting those! (I wish they would update the Panhel website more than once every semester . . . grrrr.) I already knew about Alpha Phi and Kappa Alpha Theta, but there are more sororities doing spring recruitment than I thought, which is awesome. And you have an advantage since you went through recruitment in the fall, so you have an idea of where you want to go.

Of course I'm going to invite you to visit Tri Delta but let me know how it goes no matter where you end up going. I'm so excited for you -- although I'm sure rush on the other side is going to be fun for me too.

Recruitment was tiny-- 84 started recruitment going for seven sororities. Four made quota of eleven, one made ten, one made nine, and one made two.

Which sucks, because when I was there (and in a local), quota was twelve FRESHMEN and eight upperclassmen for a quota of TWENTY.

How can we get more people interested in formal, and not just COB?

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!

What's up, dixiesong3131. Always nice to see a fellow greek from Cleveland.

Rush for Us and the Tekes At Cleveland State University usually start during the second/third week of school.

Bid Day: Jan 25 (Sat)

...and one more sorority that's brand new...it's an Asian interest sorority...but I can't think of the name. I'm not sure if they do formal recruitment or not.

I'm a PNM, and I'm really excited, but super nervous. I really don't know what to wear. I know the girls are really nice, but I'm so anxious to make a good impression!

Dunno for sure, but from the nametags on the door of the CR next to ours, GPhiB was one of them! Congrats!

That's great news!

Hey-this message is in reply to Iowa's message a few pages back.......

I was a Zeta Tau Alpha at UMD and graduated last May. I have to say I had the time of my life there!!!!!!! A real plus of our greek system is that b/c it is so big, there really is a house for everyone. I wish your sister the best of luck, and just remember to tell her, rush at can be very overwhelming and tiring, so just remember to pace herself, and stick with it....she has everything to gain! MD greek life is SO fantastic.

I was just inducted as a pledge of the Delta Epsilon chapter of Sigma Delta Tau!!!!

I'm very happy to report that the University of Puget Sound finished a very sucessful recruitment with 4/5 chapters making quota plus...including my precious Pi Phi angels! Everyone was all smiles and the chapters were all so excited...it was a very good day indeed!
