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

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

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.

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

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.

I received it as a PM as well, except that the one I got referred to recruitment at Bama.
