Auburn pre-recruitment officially started yesterday, August 1. Can't believe it's already here!

Good Luck to the AU sororities! My chapter is starting their pre-recruitment tomorrow!

It blows my mind that not only are you guys starting recruitment allready but you're going back to school soon! I don't move back to OC til Sept. 9 and classes dont start till the 11, and recruitment starts in January!

Good luck girls, please stay hydrated...been hearing nothing but 3 digit temperatures for most of the country this week.

During recruitment in 2004 we had some freak weather. We woke up on the morning of Skit Day (August 14) and the temperature was 57.2! I had to wear a sweatshirt to the dorm! Also that year, we had to deal with outer bands of rain and wind from both Hurricane Bonnie AND Hurricane Charlie. There was major flooding on Auburn's campus which inclusded several chapter rooms and Parker Hall where Auburn's web server is housed (in the basement of the lowest building on campus- go figure!). The entire university website was down for several critical hours when panhellenic was trying to generate invitation lists.

Hey, back in the day, the rush computer ALWAYS broke down. It did at every school, I hear--but the year I was rushing, our RC had to wake us up at 3 AM with our invitations.

Seems like yesterday we were staggering from dorm to dorm in the Auburn heat...

Haha, I SO remember that! Remember parties being cancelled for like 6 hours during Philanthropy Day?!

Yea, I got called to confirm a rec that I filled out but forgot to sign. The caller left her number but gave me the wrong area code. Thank goodness for caller ID,

I wondered because she said today was the last day..

I adored that day. Because we all went upstairs to the hall and visited and ate food and watched movies. And a lot of girls took naps. I got to visit with some alumnae who were there whom I hadn't seen in a few years. It was quite lovely. I almost hope something like that happens again this year... Just Kidding.

Hurricane Ivan week was one of my favorite Auburn memories.

Haha, the only time school was ever cancelled during my 4 years there

A huge tornado went over Funchess while I was in class there and nobody notified the folks in the building 'til it was all over. We just thought it was a bad storm.

Today is move-in day for the PNMs! I'm glad I'm not there! But I wish I could be there for prefs and Bid Day....

AGDLynn · #13 08-05-2006, 09:54 PM

I wish I could be there for the Auburn Alpha Gam Bid Day!

Hey I know all of the collegiates will be BUSY!!! But I would love to hear about how recrutment is going at Auburn . . . It is like the "kick off" for Southern recruitment. It always seems to me that if Auburn has a good recruitment then it is all down hill from there.

So, if any alumnae that are working with a sorority (not just ADPi, all of the sororities are strong) is a greekchat computer nerd, or a collegiate with "all of that extra time you will have" ha ha - can keep us updated maybe on this thread. Just a thought.

YALL HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!

I swear that if any of the local girls go Pi Phi at AU, I'll be there for initiation!
