Just heard from my daughter....she was invited back to every sorority for philanthropy day. Talk about relief! She sounds good, had been to 2 parties already, had a lunch break, then back for more. She'll finish up about 10 tonight then do her picks. She's already said she feels like tomorrow the cuts will be heavier, so hopefully she's bracing herself for tomorrow morning, because as we all know, there is no perfect rush. If I get to talk to her when she gets home tonight, I'll have a better idea of how she feels about each one, so I can update tomorrow. Sounds like all her friends had good days today too, so that helps!
On another note, my Bama girls are doing ok. None of them had a full round of parties, but all got invited back to the ones they liked, so no huge disappointments there! |
1st cuts at Bama
I heard from my daughter today before the Philanthropy parties began. She was so thrilled that she got back 11 invites. After all I've heard about recruitment at Bama, we were relieved. And yes, i do know it's only the first cut. I've told her to stay positive throughout the entire week and it'll work out the way it's supposed to. :D

Hang in there uamomma! Sounds like your daughter is having a good time! As for mine, they went this morning to get their schedule for skits. I won't know until she gets a break for lunch who she's going back to. It could possibly be tonight, but gosh, I sure hope not! She didn't get back to her dorm last night until after 11, so it was a really long day for her, and she had to be ready by 9:30 this morning. I just keep telling myself no news is good news :) I know she has one favorite, but honestly, I think she would like any of the ones she kept after yesterday. And by the way, her favorites kind of flip flopped, so they'll probably change again after today. I'll post when I hear something.

Congratulations mjohn9083, were you able to get the recs you needed or did you go through without? Remember, you promised us a recruitment story.

Hearing so much news on everyone is making me horribly impatient, alas the day we actually 'sign up' for my informal is Saturday and it all actually starts on Sunday so...'tis close.
Congratulations to everyone who has already gone through and found a home though and good luck to the others and those like me who have barely even begun yet! :D |
where's the support for us on the OTHER side for the first time? I'm losing my mind!

The problem is, I COB'ed through informal recruitment -- so I've never even seen recruitment from the PNM's side! The only thing I know is from GC. :o |

Subtle reminder: If you start a Recruitment thread or are on Jill's list, please let Jill know how it turned out, one way or another. Even if you drop out, let Jill take your name off of the list or post that you've dropped, so no one's wondering "what happened to....?" Thank you!! |
OK...quick update: I didn't hear anything from my daughter until 11:30 last night. That's right...for basically 2 days, the party schedule she has gotten does not allow her enough time to get back to the dorm to call, much less eat. Needless to say, she is very tired! Yesterday was skit day...4 parties, she went back to 3 that she really likes, one that she hasn't really warmed up to. She seemed very happy! There were lots of cuts (several direct legacies that I heard of), lots of broken hearts yesterday, including my daughter's to some degree. I'm sure there were deeper cuts last night, and there will be more broken hearts today. Now, they go back after lunch today to get Pref invitations. They have to stay until they finish their last party which could be early, middle afternoon or 8 tonight. Keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer, do a good luck dance, and send me some cyber valium :) The waiting is killing me! I'll send updates as I hear.

well if you want to keep track of a few more from my daughter's school her friends that went to USM with her ... 1 went Phi Mu, 1 went Chi O, 1 went DG and 1 went KD (one dropped out after the skit parties when she was cut from the couple she wanted)

I am not going to add your daughters friends but I want to give them major congrats on finding their homes
|
Lamplighter...Congrats so far to your daughter! Mine went to six parties today and could see herself in any of them! She was a little disappointed, but time still moved on. I'm waiting to hear from her around 7. I'm jealous! Your daughter's rush seems shorter than UA's. I know it still seems like forever!!!:eek:

Just returned from T-town. After a long week of rush, my daughter (and her roomie) are proud members of the :)ADPi:) pledge class at Bama! What a beautiful and sweet bunch of girls! She was soooo excited! She said, " These girls are just so down to earth!" What a compliment to the awesome sisters of Alpha Delta Pi! I am so glad she found her fit!!! :)
|
Congratulations to your daughter (and roomie!) for finding her home with Alpha Delta Pi!

Hey y'all! I know I have my work cut out for me after Bama's bid day. I will update tonight or tomorrow. :)

FINAL RESULTS
Sorry to be so long posting...and I'll post more tomorrow, but....after a very long week....she got the one that she started the week saying she loved....she's now a little owl at MS State! All you folks that went through AL and AUB rush...State's was just about the same #'s comparitavely..over 600 girls for 6 sororities. Quota was almost the same as
Alabama's. Glad it's over...more glad she's happy! Quote:

One of my best friends just called me...
She is now an Alpha Omicron Pi at a rather large and competitive university! I know I never said anything about it, but I thought I'd let all you AOPi's know you have an AMAZING new sister! :) (Oh, and she was a legacy too... but I never knew that! :o) |

OMG! No! You didn't offend me at all! I was just making the point that the numbers for both schools were similar. Every rush is stressful, even when I went through years ago! I had some girls I was tracking going through Alabama's and Auburn's recruitment, and I was just as stressed for them...and their mothers. I'm just glad it's over and most all of them are happy. Even if Rush is only 3 days, it seems like 3 years :) |
Hey Jill. You have Kappa Delta listed twice on the first page tally with 1 NM on each. Just thought I'd let you know.
Thanks for all your hard work. I love your Recruitment threads! :) |
thanks for the heads up Leslie Anne :)
|
I pledged Kappa Delta!
