A Note from the VP of Recruitment!

Hello there soon-to-be-baby-deltas! I know that you're out there somewhere... and we just cannot WAIT to meet you. I just wanted to let you girls know a little about Recruitment 2009 and what to expect.

First of all, make sure that you have registered for Recruitment by going onto the Rhodes website, clicking on "Campus Life," "Greek Life," and then finally "Sorority Rush Registration." Registration is open until September 2nd, but definitely don't wait that long!

On the date Registration closes (9/2), you will all attend Sorority 101 where you will meet your Gamma Chi (a kind of "Recruitment Counselor") who will tell you what to expect, wear, and do during the four days of Rush Events. Your Gamma Chi is a member of one of the four sororities here on campus but has sworn to silence during Recruitment; her house will remain a mystery until Bid Day!

Secondly, keep an open mind! A benefit of going through Recruitment at Rhodes is that we only have 4 PAN houses to choose from... not dozens like some crazy big schools. You will have quality time at each house to meet the current members and get the feel of the place. The best part is... there is NO WRONG CHOICE! Where you pledge doesn't necessarily determine where your best friends will pledge, and many of my TriDelta sisters have best friends in other sororities or not in sororities at all. The most important thing is that you choose the house where you feel that you fit in, where you feel that YOU will be the perfect addition!

A last thing to remember is that we are JUST as nervous as you are! Try to ask us as many questions as we ask you... we want YOU to want US and the only way you can find that out is by getting to know us! The Recruitment events are designed so that you will be able to talk one-on-one with some different members in each house, at some point you might see some singin' and craziness... and you even get some delicious goodies.

A last, LAST thing that I am going to mention is that you should NOT be freaked out by how excited we are because OH, WE. ARE. EXCITED! You will see DDDs rockin' our Recruitment shirts, sneakin' peeks at you in class (not creepily...!), bein' loud around campus (especially in the library where we love to congregate!), and buzzin' around campus to get everything done for the different events.

Seriously, we DDDs LOVE our baby deltas... our new little sisters... the DDD future! We cannot wait to meet you and hope that you like us as much as we LOVE you!Counting down the days...

Delta Lovin'
