Actually, both my daughters row. My DZ daughter Kristen was recruited by ACC, SEC, and other conference schools. She will try out for Alabama's brand new varsity program and see how it goes. As recently as one month ago she received a call from the coach at Loyola Marymount University in southern California. My youngest rows lightweight and won the top cox job as a high school freshman last year. She coxed her varsity boat to a 13th place finish out of about 60 boats at the Stotesbury regatta last year. You talk about a cutie! She is playing field hockey right now (like her older sister) and hopes to do a little bit of everything when she hits college. Right now her two favorite schools are Florida State and Ole Miss.

Awww, I rowed in college, too! I was a walk-on cox at a pretty good rowing school. It was a great experience, but I felt like Division I athletics wasn't what I was looking for at the time.

i'm a coxswain at a compeitive DIII school and i looooove it!

we are in the process of recruitment for new rowers this week for our novice team.

yay rowing!

BamaDad,
I just sent you a PM, but I think your daughter (from all the "clues" I am getting here) is the pretty blond gal I wrote a DZ rec for over the summer. My friends are all sending her congrats notes and I have a package on the way -- could she be the same one? I met up with her at the Crosspointe Starbucks :)

Hey UCFPNM what is your quote from?

Hey everybody! The "the pretty blond girl" that imadeltaz wrote a recommendation letter for is in fact my daughter! Kristen got your wonderful package - a dozen beautiful pink roses that knocked out everybody in the DZ house! What a class act the DZs are. Thank you from a very pleased DZ Dad.....Kristen is definitely planning on another round at Starbucks during the Thanksgiving Day break. She was so excited to get your gift. By the way, she apparently only got 4 hours of sleep last night. Must have been doing a lot of studying (?) with her DZ sisters last night. Do you think so?

She was *definitely* studying.:D

Well, see now all her new sisters will remember her :D

BamaDad DZ, I have to tell you about one of my absolute favorite DZ's: my first "real" job out of college was a political job, and the only other woman was a beautiful, blonde woman, a bit older than I, and within five minutes, we discovered that we were both "sorority girls", Maura being a DZ. She had the same wild sense of humor that I have, and it made a demanding job much easier to handle! Eventually we were joined by a third woman, another ADPi, and with Maura being blonde, Mary Rose being a brunette, and me being a redhead, we were dubbed "Charlie's Angels"!

We lost touch, to my chagrin, but as much as I worship the ground KillarneyRose walks on ;) Maura will always be my favorite DZ. If she & KR are any indication of the typical DZ, Kristin is in very fine company, indeed!

k i wanna see a picture of that pledge class! wow.. 80 some girls... thats like an entire house up here at some schools!
