Hello! After lurking on here for four years, it’s finally time that I get to go through Recruitment myself! And since I love reading everyone else’s recruitment stories so much, I thought I’d post my own!
I got interested in wanting to join Greek life my freshman year of high school when we were assigned to write a research paper on the topic of our choice. I’d watched The House Bunny or Legally Blonde or something like that a few days prior and had been Googling stuff about sororities shortly after, so I figured, why not? By learning what sororities are actually like through that paper, and since then, I’ve grown even more interested in joining one. Four years of pent-up excitement for this one week is a lot, but I’m really hopeful that I’ll find the sisterhood that’s right for me and all that excitement will be worth the lifetime that I get out of it.
While I won’t post my school name or location (at least not until after all is said and done), I will say that I go to a school with seven NPC sororities, and recruitment is not terribly competitive. Since I’m a huge linguaphile, the codenames will all be foreign languages (fun fact: I can say ‘I love you’ in all of these; sadly I can’t speak all of them fluently... yet
)
Spanish
Afrikaans
Italian
German
Dutch
French
Japanese
Now I’m fully aware that chapters pay attention to these boards and things like that over the week, so I’m definitely keeping the details of my story for after Bid Day. However, I also know you guys get excited about these stories and want to know what happens (I do too when I read recruitment stories!) so do you think it’d be fine to say the number of chapters I get invited back to each day, or even which ones and how I ranked them (using codenames of course) and giving details later on? Or would it just be better to save the full story for the end? Let me know what you guys think on that.
