Fall 2013 Recruitment Week!

Well sisters, it's that time of year again. We're about to start Fall Recruitment, and we've got lots of awesome activities planned!

There will be an event each night from September 9th through September 12th. You do not have to attend them all, but doing so will really help you get to know us and let us get to know you! September 13th there will be an invite-only formal dinner, and how can we invite you if we don't know you? :)
