YEAH! Go Sig Kap! :)

Great news for them. These are great sororities and I am sure tonight will be the beginning of wonderful things to come.

I so feel for you Hollywin...
 

:)
While I of course feel such compassion for your daughter my heart goes out to you tonight. As a mom I know only too well that your pain will last longer than your daughter's. But, while hers is so sharp tonight I pray and hope that she has some friends there at UGA already that will help her get out and move on!

I know that my daughter tonight went to dinner with one of her friends from HS. That friend and most of her other friends did not rush. And she told my daughter tonight right before the bid meeting that she and all her other friends that didn't rush would be there for her either way tonight. That made my daughter feel so good so I hope yours will seek out her friends, if not tonight then for sure tomorrow.

And, for you, if I knew you and lived near you I would have you over for lots of wine tonight!!!!! So I hope you seek out your supporting friends too! I will be thinking positive for you both!

sorry to make you all wait!
 

She's a new Alpha Gamma Delta tonight! (with no recs!)
I'm not trying to be bias but I have always thought that they have the most beautiful house on campus!

I will be certain to tell everyone I know to be sure and secure recs as I have learned from this chat that she may have been cut from 2nd round just because she didn't have any!

I want to thank all of you for having patience with me and helping me through this as clueless as I was. I feel so enlightened and educated now about the greek rush system and I am looking forward to hearing and living vicariously through my daughter the rest of her Greek experience at UGA!

Somewhere out there, AlphaGamUGAAlum is dancing a dance of joy tonight. She joined a great sisterhood (not that I'm biased or anything ;) ).

Congrats to your daughter and Gamma Alpha's newest baby squirrel!

Clueless,
Best wishes to your daughter! I am so happy for her. She will have a wonderful time tonight meeting all of her new sisters.

congratulations to your daughter clueless!

and to your daughter and friend shadden!

Red and Buff Roses for cluelessUGAmom's daughter! Congrats to her and all the new sorority members!!:D:D:D

Thanks for Greek and Non-Greek Support
 

I am amazed at the outpouring of love and support found here. Baby Dawg is off to a pledge party. No, she wasn't thrilled and screaming and jumping for joy...her first choice, my sorority, cut her after 3rd round. But she has been reminded (thanks so much to my two sorority sister/best friends KathyC and you know who you are reading this anonymously) that being a sister is about so much more than the letters you wear. Sure, we were all terribly proud to be "in the bond", but what I wanted most for my girl was to have the special relationship I have with these two women.

Talking with an ADPi neighbor who was at College of Charleston, she agreed. Your sorority sisters, and especially your pledge sisters have a special place....two of hers were in her wedding and are still close today.

We've encouraged her to get to know her sisters and pledge sisters...to give it a chance...to get involved and experience all that this can be. She will know if it is right for her, in time...not in just one night or even in one week.

BFF's daughter was cut from our sorority at Auburn and it turned out to be the best growth experience of her life. She pledged another, stuck it out, fell in love with the sisterhood, and she is now an exec at her chapter and may even be the next President! Who would have known? I call that turning lemons into lemonade!

And, I love the way that all of us here, and all of the women in my community who wrote any letters of rec have supported each another and our offspring. We've prayed for them, hoped for them, crossed our fingers for them and cried for them...

I hope that if your baby girl has not ended up in a sisterhood...that she was cut or dropped out...and that if she desires the Greek experience, she will make it known. There are apparently opportunities for joining. Remember, this is more than just a 3 or 4 year experience...it can be a lifetime bond if you wish.

No, Greek isn't right for everyone...but if someone is right for Greek, they should have every opportunity to be included.

Sorry to be longwinded, but it's been a long, tiring week for all parties involved. Best wishes and dreams...

Congrats! I'm so happy for her and for us pledging her!

Ok you are so my kind of friend!! I have had wine tonight and have toasted my wonderful daughter many times. Since we live in Charlotte, my daughter is at UGA with no girls from her highschool. I look back at my days at UGA and have great memories..which is all I wanted for my daughter. Her first 6 days have been filled with heartache and questions of why me ?? She is beautiful and strong. I hope and pray that she will be able to overcome what she has faced this week and try and enjoy her college experience

Yes I am!

Congratulations to your daughter and Alpha Gamma Delta!

I believe the AGD house is known as the "wedding cake house".

And, believe it or not, I attended a wedding there a few years ago!!
The bride is an alumna.:)

I am so happy for your daughter. Great, great sorority. I know she will be so happy. My neice was an Alpha Gam at Tech. Most wonderful experience of her life !!
