Foreverinpink's Fall 09 Recruitment Tale!

foreverinpink · #1 07-19-2009, 10:21 PM

Hey all! I will be going through formal recruitment this fall and I'm very excited!!

I thought I would start my thread now, even though it's a bit early. This way I'll have lots of time for questions or other info! I don't plan on flat out saying my school but I'm sure someone here will figure it out, and that's fine! I'm going to be VERY careful about revealing details about me. I might reveal my school after the end of my story, if all goes well. I have thoroughly read the "What NOT to do" hread and Barbie's gude to recruitment stories, along with many other helpful advice threads for PNMs! Wish me luck! I'll post more later!

Is there some sort of requirement that you must have a color in your username in order to post in this thread? Court4short, how did you get by?

But you have a "color" in your signature. Ooops, now I've ruined the color trend.

Haha, I didn't even notice that!

Haha, I didn't even notice that!! I guess perfectinpurple and I have almost identical usernames and the pink trend seems to be spead around GC! Haha!

Anyway, I decided to share some descreet information that might be helpful in my story.

There were never many Greeks in my family, just my mother and grandmother. They were both members of XYZ. I really never considered sorority life until my senior year. I knew absolutely nothing about it! I am definitely not the stereotype “sorority girl”. But I thought I would give it a shot, I have nothing to lose! My mom has been so helpful in preparing me for not only college life but fall rush as well!

So back up a few months, when I was applying for colleges. I had applied to several schools that I thought would be a good fit, but eventually narrowed my choices down to two. My state's big flagship university, where both of my parents had gone was one option. I had also recieved a small scholarship there, which was great! The other was a more prestigious and smaller school many, many miles away. I never thought I would get accepted, so it was a huge surprise. I slowly fell in love with the far away school. I finally decided to try something new, and go with the far away school! All of my friends are going to my state's flagship school or another close by big university, so I have absolutely no friends going with me on my little adventure.

Hopefully, I will make some friends through the recruitment process!

Far Away school also has a very competitive greek system I've heard! I'm very scared but excited as well! I think I'm pretty prepared, I have at least one rec for every chapter and am working on my wardrobe! I can't wait!

Looking at the handle for the OP, I was wondering in the NPC whether there are Sororities which would treat the Rushee dressing overly pink as being a particular want to be in their Sorority or a particular disinterest.

I know that among the NPHC Sororities, that only one Sorority has pink in its colors (AKA) and that the other three don't.
