Hooray!

:) I'm happy that the one girl from Michigan joined Gamma Phi!

My rec crew this year had two Auburn girls:

1 at Kappa Alpha Theta
1 at Delta Gamma

Mason, Lancaster, Shaker Heights, Batavia, New Albany, Gates Mills, Cincy, Liberty Township.

That's essentially Cinci, Columbus (though a little SE, bordering on random Appalachia, near where we just moved to), CLE, Cinci (near where we just moved from), Columbus, CLE (Vi, you're thinking of Kings Mills, which is Cinci), Cinci, and Cinci.

Awwwww you all are sooooo sweet. Thanks for all the pm's, I really needed that! Seems as though she took her big girl pants to school, and wearing them now and giving things a try!! I encouraged her, and reminded her that there are girls there that this may have been their 1st choice, everyone is different y'know, and she might be making them feel bad. She's such a sucker.....hates to make someone feel bad, so hopefully things will work out well. and as DeltaBetaBaby said, she doesn't have to make all those decisions tonight. Thanks so much again for the kind words! Its been a helluva long day!

I'm very happy to hear she is giving it a shot. This could be her ONLY shot. We all know how competitive AU is.

I get contacted more and more from local girls going to Bama and Auburn for recs. We try to hook them up with someone from at least the city in which they live to give them the best chance they can.

I wish I got contacted for recs more often. :( Not gonna likely happen in my neck of the woods now!

Well, Liberty Township is just N of greater Cincinnati, as is Mason (many residents working in Cinci) and Batavia is just east of Cinci, so 4 of the 8 are from SW Ohio/Greater Cinci area.

:) Yep yep! Go SWOH!

Wonderful! We welcome her to our sisterhood!

TNauburnmom, Congrats! My daughters prayers were answered too. They are pledge sisters!!!!!p.s. don't let them visit Wrapsody, they will want to buy everything in the store that shows their sorority on it.

On another thread are Bid Day photos. One of Auburn's chapters has a photo of their new members. Happy day!

Congrats to TNauburnmom and YAUmom! My daughter is a Theta at Auburn! She said they had a great group of girls this year, she is so excited!

LOL about Wrapsody.:D

Thanks YAUmom and AUMom2011. I placed an order through Tiger Surprise yesterday and it was delivered this afternoon. My daughter has spoken highly of the sisterhood and how down to earth the girls are. She was greeted with tons of hugs today.

I started getting messages through FB. I post all of our alumnae chapter events on FB and am our self-appointed pubicity chair. They find my name and it goes from there. Because our area doesn't do Panhellenic teas and Greek Life is often a foreigh concept, I do anything I can to accommodate them.

BTW...Gates Mills = $$$$$$$ and Shaker is old money.

TNAuburnMom, I'm guessing your daughter is from TN given your screen name, my daughter is also from TN. I told her to be on the lookout for girls from TN, I scanned the bid list it looks like they took at least 4 -5.

Congratulations to the new members of Auburn NPC sororities!

Sorry if I missed it somewhere in this thread, but what was quota?

I am so glad that all the girls are so happy!!!! I really think my dau's unhappiness is because she got her 3rd choice, not the choice itself. Hopefully she can move past that. Its like she had a huge global meltdown today and needed 4 xanax!! Its that 'this only happened to me and I'm gonna cry about it because I want to' kind of thing. I know there were girls that were cut out of rush, or cut themselves out, so I think she's being a little selfish. Tomorrow is a new day, and she's coming home to pick up some things, hopefully her self-confidence will be there as well.

Thanks so much everyone, its been a difficult day, and ya'll made it better!!!! :)

My daughter's bid day buddy is from TN and She adores her. She is who sold my daughter on ΚΑΘ.
