Congrats to Ballerina on getting this far! I hope she goes with the one that I favor of the 2.:cool:

I LOVE IT!!!

Carnation, I've been checking my computer all day to see if you had posted yet... I am SOOO excited to see her returning to Phi Mu's pref! I would be so very honored to call her sister, if that is where her heart leads her. But props to Chi O for getting her back, too! They are also a wonderful org! :)

Do they actually recieve bids tomorrow, or do they have to wait one more day? I will be doing a lot of checking tomorrow!!! I guess we're all holding our breath now.....

Sending best wishes to Valdosta!

Hey Carnation!! Thanks for all the updates!! I wish Ballerina the best of luck with her final decisions. Who knows, maybe Blazercheer will rush next year!

*APPLAUSE*APPLAUSE*

Love it! What a perfect way to tell Carnation what a GREAT mom she is!! :D

violets 08-15-2002 11:23 AM

Carnation:
So glad that Ballerina is going on to preference, she has wonderful houses to choose from! She'll be an asset in any chapter. I wish she and her sister all the best! The best thing is they will always have each other, and you.

justamom 08-15-2002 08:04 PM

Hey Carnation! I am excited for your sweetie,please send her my best and tell her I KNOW she will make the right choice!

Ok forgive me for off topic here-
Will they be televising any of the football games? I really want to see Blazercheer CHEER!

If not, do you all play anyone in La., maybe I could hit a game.

How many on her squad? I know at LSU, the cheerleaders have stringent schedules and the skill level is unimaginable-does she have a heavy load?

Ok, that was like one of those messages that interrupts the regularly scheduled programs, but I really want to know!

I'd say "break a leg" but ooooooooooh, NOT for a cheerleader!:eek:

carnation 08-15-2002 09:10 PM

Justamom,

VSU is in the Gulf South Conference and plays teams in Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia. Maybe you could see them on TV when they play Delta State?

There are maybe 18 (??) on BlazerCheer's squad and I haven't seen them perform but they compete nationally so I want to make it a point to see them too, maybe when they play West Georgia in Carrollton...BlazerCheer has some seriously great tumbling and I hope she gets to use it while cheering!

As for rush updates--

The PNMs had pref parties tonight and have probably just finished signing bid cards. They're on silence now and can't communicate with the outside world until after they get their bids at 11 AM tomorrow so we'll know zip until at least then.

xo_sue 08-15-2002 09:22 PM

Two incredible organizations! Both will be very lucky if she puts a #1 next to either - I don't care who she picks- I just hope she gets the home and sisters where she is the happiest!

SigKapSundevil 08-15-2002 09:24 PM

I'm going to be checking at 11:05 am tomorrow, I can't wait to hear the news!!

Lil_ChiO_Lady 08-15-2002 09:25 PM

The Suspense is killing me and I won't be able to check around 11 tomorrow since I'm doing crafts at the house for Rush...BUSY, BUSY!...But I'll just find out tomorrow night.:rolleyes:

Good Luck to her and you Carnation, it is like your being kept in a prison,but it keeps it interesting and fun.

AOIIBrandi 08-15-2002 09:27 PM

oooh I'm so excited....

Ballerina, I hope you find the home away from home and the sisterhood that you are looking for. Either organization should be proud to call you their sister :) Make sure to call home early so we will not all have to wait in suspense ;)

Carnation,

I hope you are still holding up well. Can't wait to check tomorrow on where Ballerina went. Send BlazerCheer my best. I hope that everything works out for her.

dzsaigirl 08-15-2002 09:29 PM

Is there a chance that BlazerCheer might get snapped up by someone? My roomie freshman year dropped out of rush and the day I got back to the dorms (I did not rush then) it was Bid Day and I answered the phone and it was a call to see if she wanted to accept a bid from one of the sororities...then they asked me, HA! (keep in mind, I did not want to join a sorority then, and they already knew me, so it wasn't like they were all "hi stranger, wanna join?". Anyway, long story short, there is still a chance, isn't there?

***Edited for clarification: Neither of us accepted, but if we had wanted to we could have, so there is a chance...Hold out hope!***

PhiMuNursie 08-15-2002 09:37 PM

geez!
 
I haven't been able to post for a couple days, but I've been keeping up with all this and am SUPER EXCITED that she chose Phi Mu to return to. Both of the chapters she could chose from are awesome (I'm obviously biased) and know she'll be happy at either one. Anyway, I just wanted to add my good luck, not that she needs it anymore! I can't wait to hear if I have another amazing sister!!!

I have a Phi Mu castle...

pbear19 08-15-2002 09:56 PM

Good luck to Ballerina! I'm sure the board will be flooded with wellwishers in the morning!!

And hey Carnation, I might just have to go to the UCA-Valdosta game if Blazercheer's going to be there too. One of my company's interns is an offensive lineman for UCA, and I was meaning to go see one of his games this season. It would be twice the fun if I knew of two people involved! (Of course I would have no idea which one Blazercheer is though.) But, I've always had a ton of respect for all-female collegiate squads, so I'd love to see the team if they'll be at the game! :D

Silverblue 08-15-2002 09:59 PM

By the time I get to work (at 3) Friday afternoon, we should know! In a perfect world, Ballerina would get her top choice, and Blazercheer would be snap-bidded and find out it's the perfect place for her, too. Oh, I just want everybody to be happy.

OUlioness01 08-15-2002 11:01 PM

ooooooh I'm so excited to find out where she went! I know that whatever choice she made it was the perfect one for her, but I am cheering for Phi Mu!

Carnation, how can you stand the wait?

orchid2 08-15-2002 11:10 PM

oh, me oh my...

I am on the edge of my seat. I might just have to wake up "early" tomorrow (yes, I'm sleeping in for the rest of the summer until class starts again!!!) to see what Carnation says! Oh I can't wait to see where Ballerina goes!

Maybe BlazerCheer will get a snap bid! And if not... there's always informal in the spring if she decides to go through again :)

Greek Love!!!

pbear. . .

If you're going to the UCA game, I'll go with you!!! I got my Master's degree from UCA, although I claim HSU as my home. (We can go to the Valdosta-Henderson game too, if it's in town!).

I would love to see Blazercheer doin' her thing!!!!

As for silence. . .I don't know if I could stand no contact with anyone outside of recruitment!!! What do they do to keep themselves occupied?

TrojanGirl 08-16-2002 12:03 AM

Maybe we can make it a GC outing... since UALR has no football team, I can go cheer for UCA!

maggieaxid 08-16-2002 10:01 AM

It's 10am, only 1 more hour! hopefully ballerina will call and tell carnation! i "forgot" to tell my mom after bid day was over.

maggieaxid 08-16-2002 11:13 AM

all right, it's 11:13 est. hopefully carnation is on the phone with a happy sorority new member.

carnation 08-16-2002 11:29 AM

Carnation is still sitting by the phone waiting for it to ring because she knows that her evil daughter is out celebrating with a sorority but doesn't know which one! Ballerina may realize she should call when she floats back to earth.

In the meantime, BlazerCheer will definitely call us and tell us if she sees her sister.

jess_pom 08-16-2002 11:42 AM

Ugh! Where is she????

Carnation, what sorority are you in?

ladybug1116 08-16-2002 11:52 AM

wow this is suspenseful...lol.

Lil_ChiO_Lady 08-16-2002 11:59 AM

Whoa
 
Ok by some miracle I managed to get online...ok ok Carnation I don't have alot of time..I hope BALLERINA CALLS...Doesn't she know your waiting by the phone? The suspense is killing me too.

She must be having the best time right now

I am going to keep refreshing the page until i see something posted..I am an idiot with no life:D and PROUD OF IT!

Greek Love!!

maggieaxid 08-16-2002 12:00 PM

well i guess we should be pretty sure she got into one bc if she hadn't she would have called mom, i assume.

AlphaChiS2K 08-16-2002 12:01 PM

Doesn't Ballerina realize that she has all of Greekchat on the edges of our respective seats????

CALL, GIRL, CALL!!!

kddani 08-16-2002 12:09 PM

Carnation, for the future. GET THESE GIRLS CELL PHONES before they rush, so they have NO EXCUSE to keep you and us in suspense :D

GreekLetterGirl 08-16-2002 12:18 PM

The suspense is killing me !!! I really want to know where Ballerina went, either house are great choices... hope she is out having a great Bid Day!!


I agree with KDDani about the cell phone idea :)

mmcline 08-16-2002 12:22 PM

Ok, I sitting here and the suspense is killing me. How am I suppossed to get work done until I know where she went?


I hope she is having a blast with her new sisters. I totally agree with the cell phone idea.Hopefully, she will call soon so all of us won't be in suspense much longer.

maggieaxid 08-16-2002 12:25 PM

to go to lunch or not to go? she needs to CALL!

carnation 08-16-2002 01:41 PM

As my parents bought carnations for me, we will be buying Ballerina carnations too....white carnations!

Pi Beta Phi... Alpha Omicron Pi... Chi Omega... starting a PanHellenic Dynasty!!!

kddani 08-16-2002 01:44 PM
