NWgirl's Fall '07 Recruitment at University of Washington!

[AXOUW]

NWgirl, I'm so sorry to hear that your day didn't go well. But i'm proud of you for making that decision. I'm sure it was really tough for you to do, but in the end you need to do what you feel is right and I think you did do that. I'm glad you signed up for informal. Please keep us updated on how it all goes, I wish you nothing but the best. No matter what, you are going to have a great time at UW!!

Awww that sounds like such a tough decision you made. Everything will work out though, and I heard informal recruitment is amazing, too. I'm kinda scared that i let my RC convince me to put my last choice on my preference card. What if I end up there? I probably will adapt, but you never know how things will go... ughhh. At least you can rest easy tonight... I'm still almost a nervous wreck haha. One of my friends dropped out today, too... another was thinking of it, and I don't know how that went for her.
Anyways, it was really fun talking to you through this whole thing. See ya around campus.
xoxo

Northwestgirl:

One of my friends at UW a couple years ago was in the same situation. She was dropped from her favorite houses early on. She also felt like formal recruitment was not suiting her. She went through informal, and I am happy to say she found her home at a chapter that suited her VERY WELL. It can be done, and I applaud you for your perserverance.

i am sorry to hear that you dropped out of formal recruitment, however, i am proud of you for doing what was best for you. your attitude throughout the week has been very positive. i am sure you will find a home at UW whether it is in a greek org or in some other niche on campus. good luck and keep us posted how school is going!

Even though it was hard, you made a very mature decision. As others have said, you might consider Informal. It's less stressful and gives you time to evaluate your options.

Get some rest today and take time for yourself. You deserve it.

it seems your observations of the chapters is very thoughtful-you are looking beyond the "fluff" and frivolity of recruitment and trying to really get to know the members of each house. good for you!!

continued good luck to you.

I'm sorry you're having such a tough day. Something to remember is that in the end, all you need is one.
