Indiana University 2014 Recruitment

[Hoosierxgirl]

It seems I've been missing all the fun!

I was wondering how they were going to respond to the snowpocalypse we are having in Indiana and I can't believe all the changes this year! I was totally shocked when I found out they changed 21 Party (before the weather) - they tried to move it all 4 years that I was at IU.

Excited to see how things pan out - I miss recruitment so much!

"clever" and "drinks" sounds a little suspect and reminds me of going through rush myself when a chapter served virgin strawberry daiquiris with long wooden skewers of frozen fruit. But they didn't plan for what to do with the drippy daggers of fruit once out of the glass, and you couldn't drink with the skewer in the glass. It was hysterical.

Usually, drink rounds increased in 'fanciness'--21 party at all houses was water and soda/diet soda, 12 party was usually something a little fancier (like blue punch or whatever for adpi), 8 party was something even fancier (hot chocolate with a chocolate spoon with peppermint), and 3 party was sparkling cider.

You can carry water or something in your bag, usually if you have more than a 1 round break between parties you go back to whatever meeting place your rho gamma assigns (union, library, etc.) to hang out. It's not the hunger games

ETA: well it is the hunger games, but not because of drinks!

Imagine if the PNMs had to figure out how to get water out of a tree like in the movie or die of thirst...only salt water for you at parties! Get your own spile! (note for the clueless, like me: spile is the tappy thing that gets water out of trees. The more you know!)

With all of the changes this year some to due weather, some not, I'd say it the numbers games.

I survived if that means anything...


I think the final number of women that started recruitment was 1607. This removes all those cut for grades as well as any duplicates.

Yup I'll be back on Bloomington next weekend.

And yes cut for grades would be the minimum Panhellenic

Does "cut for grades" mean just whatever the bare minimum that Panhellenic requires to participate in recruitment, and that the individual sororities will be doing whatever grade-cutting they need to do later on?

Surviving is good!

The schedule looks absolutely draining to me. I'm so glad I went to a smaller school when I see this craziness.

Any idea of when they learn about which houses they are invited to for the "12 Party"?
