My daughter like all of yours thought she would get in "a house" she had all the rec letters, was a h.s. cheerleader, a national honor society student , is beautiful, etc..... Just like all of yours.

Well she got a bid from theta phi. Was she disappointed at first - yes, but I will never forget the line she said to me when I said are you going to drop out? She said, MOM, I DON'T WANT TO BE THAT GIRL, I AM NOT TOO GOOD TO GIVE IT A TRY! Proud moment for me!

Well, she LOVES it ! Most of the girls live in the same apartment complex, they pair with all the frats, they have chapter every Sunday, they have semi and formals, moms weekend was a blast as was dads weekend, etc etc......they didn't miss a beat, and furthermore because they are still establishing Panhellenic is very helpful and goes above and beyond to make sure they look great. Lets see, they had tshirts and all ordered converse for their 21 and 14 party. Only one other house matched shoes. They all ordered the same dress in three different style for three party! I could go on and on...... They are a fabulous bunch of girls! And, don't sit around and judge all the other houses.

Remember it is not about the mansion you live in, it is about the sisterhood and friends you make that last a lifetime.

So those of you that have daughters invited back that might be lucky enough to get a bid, don't be too upset when they call you and tell you they are very happy.

1900 girls went to 975 went to 350 went to 55. Good luck. Just remember while your daughter is crying , there will be approximately 1000 girls that will get nothing and won't be wearing any letters tomorrow night.

How about we encourage these young women and stop being so judgmental!!!

Don't let anyone ever dull your sparkle!
