This is a fun thread! Hurry, I want to know how it all turned out! Although after all you've been through, I hope you are sitting back with a wam cup of somethin'.

No bid day yet, we just got done with preference signing about an hour ago! Now the waiting begins. I think I was more nervous than some of the girls! I'm really hoping that some of mine end up as my sisters, but I won't know till tomorrow :(. I'll have a more detailed post, but it's my 5 year anniversary today so I'm off w/ the BF.

Funny I found this site. I was in a sorority at OC. I saw one of my former students over break and she mentioned she wanted to be in my sorority. :)
Is there any way I can find out if she got in? I don't see her on a regular basis, but would love to find out.

Check your PM's, I sent you one!

So quota is officially 19. Bids are done and set. Supplemental bids have been by and large done. Now the waiting begins. I cannot cannot wait to see who we got!

I'm jealous, the boys got their pledges tonight. Grrrr.

I can't wait to wear letters again...it opens up a whole new world of wardrobe possibilities!

Ok I've got kind of a dumb question, that is completely off topic. How do you pronounce the name of your school?

hehe, that's a legit question!

Otter (like the wee cute animal!) bein (b-eye-n...the same I sound as in fine)

It is named after a higher up in the U. Methodist church from way back. We're U.Methodist affiliated, although ironically, more people are Catholic, according to their entrance survey.

Thank you! Also, congratulations on Recruitment almost being over. I can't wait to hear the results!

Yay! Congratulations PA!

OH MAN!! SOOOO Excited! My sorority has picked up........


13!! 13 brand new Tau Delta Kittens :)!

Now, considering quota was 19, that's pretty. damn. good. Also, considering we're a chapter of 18...this is essentially doubling our size. This is *awesome*.

in other news: (quota=19)
Tau Epsilon Mu- 19 plus off quota, I believe for a total of 22?
Tau Delta- 13
Epsilon Kappa Tau- 14
Theta Nu- 16
Kappa Phi Omega- 19 plus off quota for I think 24
Sigma Alpha Tau- 19 plus off quota for 22?

Firm numbers later, but I've got to get a shower and get ready to reveal myself as a damn proud delta kitten :)

Wonderful news!! You sound SO happy and no wonder:) Go have fun!

that is great phoenix-congrats. to you and your sisters.did all your girls get a bid? are any of them now tau deltas?

Rock on, PhoenixAzul! :)

Congrats! Sounds like things went well for you:). If you ever hear about my student send me a pm. Thanks! Go Cards!:p

Unfortunately, no, not all of my girls received bids. While sweetie and I were in our romantic restaurant/dinner date mode, they called the other PX with the info. We had quite a few girls suicide (not just our group, LOTS of girls suicided overall), and quite a few sign independent because they were unhappy with their invites/prospects. A few were extended supplemental bids, a few accepted and a few declined.

And 3 of them are now new sisters of mine, and I'm so happy that they are. All of our new girls are really unique and it is amazing to see our tiny little house so full! With a large senior class (7) leaving this year, I'm really excited to see a large freshman class. If they're anything like our sophomores, we're set. Last year's sophomore class came in and stepped up like no other, and really whipped us all into shape. It will be a challenge because this is the largest pledge class we've had in...well.......an age. But it's very very exciting.

Congrats PhoenixAzul! That's cool to end up with new sisters from your rho chi group. I'm in my rho chi's chapter and that ended up really cool.

Glad to see your letters back in your sig, too! Go TDs! :)
