Recruitment spam!
 
:confused:I got this message in my private mailbox. Did "Jackie" write to anyone else? At least all the spelling is correct! :p

"Hello! I'm sorry for bothering you but I was wondering if you might be able to help me. My name is Jackie and I'm going to be going to the University of Alabama in the fall where I would love to join a sorority. Unfortunately, though, my father was the only person in my family to go greek, and I'm from Massachusetts and do not know many women who are in sororities. I've been told that it is highly recommended to get recommendations from women who are in sororities before recruitment, so I have been searching for women who might be willing to talk to me and potentially write me a recommendation. I was wondering if you, or anyone you know, might be willing to talk to me?
Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you!"

I've heard that GCers have gotten such messages over the years, though I haven't. Maybe she went after you because she saw your letters in your screen name?

I got the same spam.

It's probably really that psycho Jacki who's trying to AI into ADPi and she's given up and is stalking everyone else.:D

That's what I IMMEDIATELY thought of.

I've gotten the same kind of message a couple of times from young ladies who want to get their recs the easy way. Although, I have to say, I don't think there really are many Greeks in Massachusetts.

There are plenty of Greeks there, just not a lot who needed recommendations when rushing.

DoctorD 05-05-2012 12:14 PM

I got it, too.

Ew, I wonder if she thinks that she's figured out some clever new way to AI.

Me too.

Well see, the first name is the same and obviously she can't tell people on here one name and then ask to have them write a rec for another one. And I know which groups are on the campus she's been stalking and they include yours and AGDAlum's, but who knows? She may be targeting the sororities at Bama now since she's been banned from the first campus.

SO WEIRD.

NinjaPoodle 05-05-2012 10:24 PM

Should we BAN this person??

33girl 05-06-2012 10:35 AM

Perhaps we should give her a chance to post openly on the boards and let her know that there were mass issues with someone with the same name, rushing in the same area, so if she is legit, now's the time to speak up.

Coollio ^^^
