My cousin's UT recruitment

DZHBrown · #1 08-19-2007, 01:19 PM

I just got a call from my cousin at UT. She's going to call me back later with details, but out of her four favorite from last night, she was invited to 3. She was invited to others, too, but she wanted to let me know who her faves were. lol Can't wait to hear the details when she calls back! In the meantime, I need to come up with some clever code names. haha

Good luck to your cousin! I guess she's playing "Texas Hold 'em" and is playing her cards close to the vest!

UT Texas or UT Tennessee?

I'm gonna guess she's talking about Tennessee, right Heather?

Yep! U of Tennessee! I just got off the phone with her and here's what she had to say...

(I can't think of anything super creative, so I'll just go with NFL teams!)

Steelers - Didn't like this group at all. She felt like they were fake and she didn't click with them at any point.

Bears - Really liked this sorority and really liked the girls she met, but wasn't sure if she'd fit in with them or not. They seemed really down to earth and fun. This was one of her top 4 favorites.

Seahawks - This sorority was okay. They also seemed laidback. Active in intramurals. Nice, but not a favorite.

Rams - Liked this sorority, but didn't feel like she'd fit in.

Ravens - Least favorite. Very girly girls. lol Giggly, kinda fake and she felt like they were trying too hard.

Jaguars - Down to earth girls. Felt like they were active on campus and Greek life. She liked them, but they weren't one of her favorites.

Patriots - Really liked the sorority, but the person recruiting her wasn't that great. Hopes to meet more people next round. They seemed laid back and "real". One of her top four.

Giants - Loved this group. Girls seemed fun, laidback and real. In the top four.

Cowboys - Clicked well with these ladies. Felt like they were a good sorority on campus. Had easy conversations with the girls she spoke with. Top four.

Cardinals - Liked the girl that was rushing her, but didn't feel like she clicked with her or the sorority. A lot of people seemed fake to her.

Colts - Didn't like this one at all. Way too girly for her. Did not leave a good impression on her.

Panthers - Felt like the conversation was forced. They seemed okay as a group, but she's unsure on how she feels about them. Hoping she will talk to someone new next round.

Packers - Girls seemed weird. Didn't click at all. Her rusher was informative, but she doesn't care for this group at all.

So, she's going back to the Seahawks, Jaguars, Patriots, Giants, Cowboys, Panthers and Packers. She's a little nervous that she was cut by so many and I was really surprised. Beautiful girl, amazing resume and educational history, great personality. But all the ones she got cut by, except for the Bears, she couldn't see herself joining anyway. I tried to make that a positive for her. She has philanthropy rounds tomorrow and the next day.

Her friends that are going through...
K was cut by the Bears and the Ravens. She cut the Packers. Her favorites so far are the Rams and the Giants. She's a legacy of the Colts.

S (one of my rec girls) was cut by her favorite, the Giants. My cousin wasn't sure about all of her detals because they didn't have long to talk. She just knows that the Colts are her least favorite.

I know 3 other girls going through up there, but haven't heard from their family here on how things are going.

So, that's round one! I know it's not really descriptive, but it was the first night and she was really looking to see who felt "real" and who didn't, where she clicked and what vibe they gave off.

you make me sad.....the COLTS are my fav. NFL team, and she doesn't like them at all!!

Good luck to her! I know that there are TONS of beautiful women going through recruitment and a lot of "big names" this year. Every sorority woman is working EXTRA hard!

DZHBrown · #7 08-20-2007, 10:30 AM

Oooh, big names, eh? You have my curiosity piqued!!

axidgl · #8 08-20-2007, 10:32 AM

i don't like sharing names on a public board, but I'll PM you

violetpretty · #9 08-20-2007, 11:25 AM

Too bad she doesn't like the Steelers, but at least the Ravens are her least favorite.

Go Giants and Bears!

thetaprincess · #10 08-20-2007, 11:49 AM

Go Seahawks.

ZetaXiDelta · #11 08-20-2007, 11:50 AM

Woohoo, go Patriots!

My sentiments exactly! If anyone's PMing the big names, I'd like to know them, too.

epchick · #13 08-20-2007, 01:39 PM

The Giants are my favorite team, and i'm glad that she likes them!!

Goooo Giants!!!!

I mean, how can you have a UT thread and not have the Tennessee Titans as one of the teams? haha. Good luck to your cousin! I've got one of my rec. girls going through this week with 6 of her friends. She's doing good so far and was invited back to all but 2!

DZHBrown · #15 08-20-2007, 01:45 PM

Well the Titans are my favorite and I almost named my sorority the Titans but was afraid that might give it away!!

Good luck to your rec girl and her friends!!
