My brother's gf recruitment thread :)

My brother's girlfriend has registered for recruitment at MTSU. She's worried that she won't be able to afford it. I'm not sure if I should advise her to budget ahead or to not go through yet. Any ideas? Rush starts next week!!!

I think that she should go ahead and try it out. Let her know that she wil need to have some $ available. During recruitment or even before she can ask the different GLOs what their costs are so that she has an idea of what to expect. I know that my chapter has a couple of girls on finance plans so they do not have to pay in one lump payment. Maybe one of the chapters at her school has that..?

I know that most of the chapters here do have payment plans for their members since not all of us have our parents pay for it or have alot of money saved up for it.

DZHBrown, was this issue resolved? Is she planning on starting rush tomorrow?

Other payment options include Panhellenic scholarships for PNMs (my school has them) and scholarships from the sorority nationals once she's initiated. Also, if you save up your summer earnings, a lot of times you end up with enough money to pay your dues (at least in my experience!)

Well, I told her what I knew from personal experience regarding payment plans and that other sororities probably did similar things. I also told her about student loans, etc. I haven't heard her final decision, but she was considering not starting school till the spring and just work during the fall. I'm hoping she goes ahead and goes to school! I've known too many people with that plan that didn't go back to school

June almost didn't go back to rush today because she couldn't find a ride!! My brother told me so I took her, but I can't take her home. I hope she finds a ride home and ride back to say where she'll be going tomorrow!

June had a good time tonight! She didn't give me a lot of details, but I'll post what she did say. BTW - I don't know what the other MTSU PNM's are using for "code names", so I'm just making my own up!

January - She didn't really care for this group, but didn't tell me why!

February - She said these girls were "ok", but she wasn't sure she felt very comfortable. She thought that it might have just been the girl she was paired up with. She also felt they were somewhat disorganized.

March - She thinks this group will drop her, but she felt they were too formal for her anyway.

April - She really clicked with the girls here. She thought they were outgoing and very fun.

May - Loved this group. Nothing felt forced, she thought it was all very natural. Clicked with the girls. Loved the presentation. Impressed.

June - Loved this group also. Thought the girls were very nice and she felt like she fit in here.

July - She thought the girls were really nice, but she didn't feel like she fit in with them.

I'll let you know later where she's going tomorrow!!
