Good luck to your daughter MCHammer. Please keep us updated.

I recieved 1 house back today and decided to withdrawl. I know I know, how terrible of me. But I know what I want and didnt want to take away the chance from someone who did love that house. I was so hopeful after round 2, I had great convos (not exaggerating) and loved the ones I got cut from. I am a lot less sad then I thought I would be, and want to wish other PNMS good luck! Hopefully I can get involved in other orgs on campus.

I am sorry that things didn't work out for you. Definitely get involved with other fun activities on campus-at OU there have to be tons of choices!

My daughter attended 3 out of a possible 5 parties for skits yesterday. She is hanging in there with a good attitude. Pref is tonight, they can attend up to 2 parties. Invitations are issued at 4pm today. I'm not going to be able to get any work done until then, lol!

I do not envy you MCHammer. Good luck to your daughter!

Excited to hear the results of bid day today at 2 p.m.!!

Any news from Oklahoma University???

Posting on a DG thread that quota is 81!

One rec girl went AXO and another DG. Still waiting on news about the others.

2 Gamma Phi Betas, a DG, Kappa, and an AOII!

I actually received a bid today after dropping out, but I will write a recruitment story to reveal how it went down and maybe give some advice to a PNM that has the same experience as me next year!:)

My rec girl who was a legacy to my sorority preffed them but wasn't high enough on their bid list, I guess, to get a bid. So she got her 2nd choice. It's a real bummer that nowadays you can take a legacy to pref and not give them a bid. I'm tempted to write our Exec. Office and express my disapproval with that policy!

She's a legacy under your sorority's definition of legacy? This is one I've never heard of happening. I've only ever heard the rule that if you are a legacy and attend a preference party you are REQUIRED to be on their first list. That's why legacies regularly get cut just before preference. Is it possible your rec girl is telling you she got her second choice because she doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings? I can't say that I know everyone's rules, but I've never heard anyone contradict this policy.

Is it possible that she may not actually be a legacy according to your chapter's definition? My sorority acknowledges granddaughters, however my good friend's does not.

Every sorority has different rules. There are at least two groups, that do not require legacies to be at the top of the bid list. It does happen.

ETA: I'll leave names out.

Yes, please share your recruitment story, but first... did you accept your bid?

My quilting buddy's daughter went AOII at OU.
I offered to write a rec -- mom said she didn't know if daughter was interested -- evidently she was! First-time Greek for their family.
