Just talked to my daughter. Parties are supposed to start around 3 central time. She didn't know the reason for the delay though. Surely, the actives will understand when the PNMs come in with damp shirts, squishy sandals and not so perfect hair. Oh, my! Think of the humidity!! Everyone should be....glowing!

lots of mad/sad/frustrated PNM's! oh well, at least they will have something to start the conversation with! haha

they got done somewhere around 8 tonight. sounds like they meet back with gamma chi at dorm around 10 and do their rankings. still can't belive the PNM's don't get word back about invites until wednesday! so sad for them, too much drama!!!

Yeah, my friend was just leaving to meet her Gamma Chi.

Whats up?
 

Does anyone out there know what is happening on the hill? There is not much action on this page! :confused:

just know they dont find out what 6 houses till wednesday sometime........we need info here, people!

Starts up today, get excited..

I'm praying for my sophomore bud to get a bid

how sad is it they dont find out what houses asked them back until RIGHT before they start the visits? sad for the girls that don't get what they wanted and are upset, then have to put on the happy face immediately. girls with late classes are having to run across campus to meet up and go with different groups / gamma chi's....they sure aren't going to look/feel/(smell) their best after that!

First day philanthropy parties are over...I know most of the houses are already finished! What is the word with pnms?

wow some of these girls didn't get done until late. so far i'm hearing good results. apparently grades really ARE a HUGE deal this year. tomorrow brings part 2 of round 2...........we'll see! any word from anyone else?

They say it's a tough rush this year.... I guess slim pickins? I don't know, both of my good friends had good return cards.

slim pickins as in............not that great a group coming through this year?

that's what I was told.

HEAVY, HEAVY cuts to the sophomores.

That is too bad for the sophomores!

As for grades...each year they seem to be increasingly important. Most houses do not take girls with less than a 3.0/4.0 even though Panhellenic only requires a 2.5. I think that Panhellenic is aware of the different standards that each of the houses have, so it is a shame that a lot of the girls with less than a 3.0 pay all the fees and get released after the first night. If the houses require a 3.0, then Panhellenic should require a 3.0.

Very well said. Couldn't agree more.
