Smile My University of Iowa Recruitment Story!

Hi everyone, as a thank you to the wonderful women on here who gave me some great advice this summer, I thought I'd post my Iowa recruitment story! Bid Day was on Monday (Labor Day) and was an amazing reward after potentially the most exhausting two weeks/weekends of my life. There are 14 Chapters at Iowa and I'm going to use US Cities as my code!

Los Angeles
New York
Seattle
Chicago
Boston
Dallas
Miami
San Francisco
Philadelphia
Washington, DC
Houston
Atlanta
San Diego
Charlotte


Just a little background info, I believe 875 women registered for recruitment this year, and while I am unsure of the final number of women that were placed, I know that right before preference round there were 675 PNMs remaining. Our Rho Gammas told us at bid day that quota this year was 46.

And as for a little background info on myself, I did not have any letters of recommendation going into recruitment. I am from a small town and grew up with little knowledge of greek life.

Here's my story, hope you all enjoy it!

I'll go for Atlanta since I live in Atlanta. I'm originally from NC, and my husband is from Charlotte, but he hates Charlotte.
