APB and SR tried to recruit me with flashy promises, I said No
I got invited to both APB and SR, and both were tbh very convincing if I didnt know what I wanted. Pansin ko sa kanila, they bank on their “connections” in the work place (maybe because they are recruiting me as a law freshman) and the things they can help me with in law school specially the extracurriculars.
For APB, they naturally bragged about their alumni, but put so much emphasis on their bar topnotchers in the previous years. Factual naman. They also offered mentorship directly from these bar topnotchers in law school and when it’s our turn to take the bar. They mentioned direct employment to Poblador, Bautista and another lawfirm (not good with names of law firms yet).
For Sigma Rho, they focused on helping me with law school through their connections in the College of Law, including Associate Dean and the Dean. They also mentioned that they have very good alumni in law school debate and journalism who can train us to get in. They also offered employment with a government agency if I want to move to evening class (I don’t) and employment to some of the law firms including Accra, Villaraza, and Marcelo law firms.
I said no. I listened to my friends and the anonymous people here. Their promises are flashy and honestly quite tempting. But nah, it’s not worth it.
Since it’s peak recruitment season now, sharing this. I’m also thinking of dropping out of UP entirely
