Sophomore, too

Poster Message:
First, come to Alabama because it is a great place to study and get your degree. Then, come to Alabama because it is also fun. I went through formal recruitment as a sophomore after being here for freshman year. I wanted to be in a sorority after seeing that it would add to my already great experiences. I had a good GPA that would get me into any house. I'm from out of state and I started in the spring (while at school) to get recs. Those were from my aunts, cousins, and my mom's FB friends and co-workers. I sent them each a sorority packet and thank you note inside. I was organized because this is something I wanted. From May to July, I started contacting alumna chapters in my hometown area. I met for coffee and gave them my packet and thank you note. I also got several recs from my summer job, as there were sorority girls there, too. It took me about three months, working on it for an hour or so each week, checking off my list and following up with contacts that were not responding. It shows the houses that YOU know how to reach out to people. I did get at least one rec to every house. I spent time planning my wardrobe for each round. I had an almost full schedule and met amazing girls. It was hot, it was rainy, and it was worth it.
