Hey everyone! I’m a long term lurker here on Greek Chat and since I went through recruitment at the beginning of this semester, I thought it would be a good idea to share my recruitment story!
A little background on me: I’m from the north and moved to the south for school. I go to a very small school in the south with a fairly relaxed Greek system. A pretty good percentage of our student body is Greek. I’d been planning on rushing since I was in high school, but I didn’t have any legacies in my family (my mother was a member of a local chapter at her university in the north). The few people I did know that were Greek were not members of any of the six sororities found on my campus. I decided to go into recruitment without any legacies or rec’s and hoped for the best. If you think you know where I might go to school, feel free to shoot me a PM! I’m interested to see where y’all think I’m from
I will identify each chapter by a country music artist. They will be listed in no particular order below:
Jason Aldean
Luke Bryan
Kacey Musgraves
Keith Urban
Kenney Chesney
Florida Georgia Line
Before recruitment, each sorority held a “Meet the Sisters” event. Here were my initial reactions of each chapter (I tried to keep my mind open as possible, but these events were kind of considered “Round 1” at my school).
Jason Aldean- I really liked this chapter. Many of the girls were in my major or similar majors. I already knew a few of the girls from orientation events and classes. Their philanthropy was something I really loved. I clicked with a few of the girls I talked to, but one of them didn’t seem to like me at all. I was really looking forward to seeing this chapter during recruitment.
Luke Bryan- These were the prettiest and smartest girls on campus. They had the highest GPA and always hit quota on bid day. Their philanthropy was my favorite of the bunch. During their events, these girls always ran up to me and seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say. I was in love with this sorority, but I was very nervous as they are known as the “top” house.
Kacey Musgraves- This house was fairly unremarkable during their “Meet the Sisters.” None of them approached PNMs and seemed kind of stand-offish. When I approached one and asked questions, the girl seemed very uninterested in helping me learn more about her sisterhood. I was hoping that they would try to more actively recruit girls once the week started.
Keith Urban- Based on their “Meet the Sisters,” it was evident that this house was somewhat divided. Half of the girls were scholarly, theater types, the other half more social girls. The chapter is the newest on campus (this is only their 4th year as an established chapter). I felt like I feel in between the two types of girls in the house so I considered this a good option for me.
Kenny Chesney- Every campus has one chapter. The chapter with a broad range of girls that just doesn’t seem to work. This was that chapter at my school. The girls seemed to really love each other, but they really didn’t seem to fit with my personality, especially when I approached them asking questions. They seemed nervous and taken back.
Florida Georgia Line- This chapter is the all-American girls. Their philanthropy is close to my heart. The student government president is also the president of this chapter. The girls were quiet at first, but once I started talking to them at their “Meet the Sisters,” I found that they were very sweet and personable. I was really excited to get to know them better.
I can’t wait to continue my story! Stay tuned!!
