Congratulations to both of you ~ now go have fun.

Welcome to AOII!!!!!

Roses and Panda Hugs!

Congrats to you Smokey15! AOPII is a wonderful group at UT, my daughter (now your best friend's sister) has many friends in that chapter! Perhaps you will meet her.

NutBrnHair, congrats to your friend's daughter too!!! Still another awesome group!!

Smokey, what ever happened with your roommate and other suitemate that were going through? An the tent talk girl in your dorm?

By the way, does anyone know quota for sure? I forgot to ask. I did a quick count in one of the pics and I think it was 48 or 49. Someone said they were taking a lot of upper classmen this year. Is that true? I think it is normally around 4.

Oh my gosh! I was going to post this myself and lost my entire novella! grrrr. Back to forwarding to my friend to post for me.

This is a quick re-cap of the ramble.

Trash talk girl did get a bid, but I decided not to name the sorority and give them a black eye after my description of their new girl. It's a good chapter and they surely didn't catch on to her embarrassing rants all week.

My roommate went KD and is major happy; she has tons of friends there.

Another note, a girl in my dorm got a bid and didn't take it. She apparently left crying. I didn't get this at all, it is an amazing group, actually 2nd on my bid card. Sadly, her roomate (my friend) is pledging there and now she is listening to the girl cry every day to her mom on the phone. Think they will have a fun year living together? I have no idea who she thought she belonged with but she is a serious brat and I think she will

Finally, I just had some comments about UT sororities in general. There is not a bad group here! Having gone through this and spending time with each I have to admit that there ARE stereotypes. This is not a bad thing to me at all, and it does not mean that different girls can't fit into different chapters! Some that I heard were "top" I personally didn't love as much as some that I heard were "middle tier". I don't think any are better or worse, just different. There are a few that are not so different and are actually very similar.

Thank you everyone for giving me a place to vent! It was hard not being able to talk much to my friends about this all week. I had not idea it was so stressful!
