Praying you hear from her soon.

That's what I'm hoping. I've decided that if it was really bad then I would have heard by now. Staying positive. Thanks.

So true! :D

"Girls from New York , they are tough. And girls from Georgia , they are sweet. But those born and bred feisty Kentucky girls, they are the ones you have to look out for. We have sugar and fire in our blood. We can ride a horse, be a debutante, throw a left hook and tell you the entire UK line up all while making sweet tea. And if we have an opinion, you get to know it. We're both the pride and the downfall of the bluegrass." -- Miss Ashley Judd, University of Kentucky graduate and member of Kappa Kappa Gamma (Beta Chi)

Yeah she finally called!!!! She didn't understand why I thought she would call before she turned in her bid card. LOL I guess those are the rules and I didn't know them. She got her 1, 3 and 4 and had a wonderful time at all the parties. She said she would be happy to call any of them her home. Whew I can relax for a little bit now. Thank you all for the support today.

Good luck to all the girls for a happy day tomorrow.

Sorry moms that you aren't hearing. The girls are in their parties now and will go directly to the computer to submit their preference. The Gamma Chi's try hard to keep them off the phone today and tonight. The houses have until
Midnight if memory serves me, to submit their list. If the dreaded call comes, it comes late. Some girls sneak a call or text. I'd say no news is good news.

Ladybugmom 08-15-2012 06:39 PM

UKmom..Im soo glad you heard from her..I have been checking back all day:).. here's hoping for a happpy ending for everyone!!

nervousmom 08-15-2012 08:26 PM

I just heard from my daughter. She is very happy. Her Gamma Chi was laughing at her because she took so long too decide on her 1 and 2 houses. She loves them both equally and will be very happy with either one. She is satisfied with her 3rd choice but doesn't absolutely love them like the other two. Hopefully she will get one of the first 2 houses. It will be a long day of waiting tomorrow. We have to hurry up and get this over with. The suspense and anxiety is killing my diet.
Hope all of the girls will be very happy tomorrow. Good luck.

I would love to see some photo's posted of bid day. Please.
Tomorrow will be special - enjoy it!

We Are UK!

nervousmom 08-16-2012 08:34 AM

Well here we are at the final day and I am so excited to find out where my daughter will find her home. I have my favorite for her but its not my decision.
Is it OK to post a picture of my daughter on bid day? I know they talk about privacy on here so much but I don't think it matters after bid day.

UKMOM14 08-16-2012 08:40 AM

I talked to my daughter again late last night and she is was so happy with her bid card. She said she would be happy to call any of the houses on their her home. So I am okay today! Whew it's been a long week.

CATFAN - what did your daughter decide? Did she fill out her bid card?

I can't wait to find out where all the girls end up today!

ladybug8484 08-16-2012 08:43 AM

Pass the Pinot 08-16-2012 09:09 AM

Yes, she did. She was much happier with one of the houses and finished the process. We can only hope and pray she gets that one. So glad this is the last day!!!:eek:

Absolutely.

There's even a thread for bid day pictures.

Moms, we are all anxiously awaiting the news and wish the very best for your girls!

UKCATFAN 08-16-2012 12:47 PM

Does anyone know what time the girls will find out? My DD said she thought it was 2:30 or 3:00.

When I talked to mine she said they had to be at Memorial Hall by 2 so I would say they would know by 2:15 - 2:30 PM. I have told mine to text or call this time right away and not make me wait half the night again :D

Benzgirl 08-16-2012 02:47 PM

Dang. My friend's daughter is a Kappa active and all I can see is a picture of her holding a sign for Carly and the girl next to her is holding one for Delaney.

UKMOM14 08-16-2012 02:51 PM

YEAH!!! I got a text from my daughter with three words







PI BETA PHI

My daughter just called and she is

Kappa Kappa Gamma

This was her #1 choice and her second choice was Kappa Alpha Theta.

nervousmom 08-16-2012 03:06 PM

UKMOM14
Congratulations. Now we can breathe a sigh of relief.

That has been on the top all week for her. She said she just felt really really comfortable there and it felt like home. I couldn't be happier for her. She was lucky and had a great week and any house that appeared on her bid card today would have been fine with her (her words).

UKMOM14 08-16-2012 03:09 PM

nervousmom...yes we can. Looks like our daughters were almost "sisters" ;) Enjoy and congratulations to your daughter!!!

nervousmom 08-16-2012 03:13 PM

What about UKCATFAN? Do you know anything yet?

I am going to try to post some pictures of my daughter and her group but it will probably be tomorrow before she sends them to me.

Is kappa the house you thought was "not good" based off of Greek rank? If so, this is a prime example of how terrible and inaccurate that site is. KKG is a strong chapter at uk with a strong alumni network. It scares me that sites like that can negatively influence pnm's before the ever start rush.

I was thinking the same thing! And Theta too. Both have always been strong at UK. And the Kappa house is the most beautiful on campus, IMHO.

UKCATFAN 08-16-2012 03:49 PM

Phi Mu!!!! Very happy daughter and mom!!!!!

Thank you! We think it is the most beautiful too! We may be biased.....

Greek Rank is awful nonsense. Just useless, trashy, mean behavior and nothing else. I hope that PNMs see it for what it is.
