Congratulations to SC Daughter....a great ending to the story!

All is good ;)

Quota at UGA this year is 54 + 8 upperclassmen (62 total)

This sounds like the chapter got 48 and then snapped to 60.

AOII pledged 62 new members! (11 legacies might I add)

SC Mom:

Welcome your daughter to Tri Delta. I am a sister and so is my darling daughter. I haven't heard yet how many new sisters we welcomed tonight into the house. They are bright young women and your daughter will be thrilled with her new sisters.

The new house is goregeous and they will be able to enjoy is for four years.

Let us steadfastly love one another -

and Delta love to both of them

congratulations!!

Red and Black Article: "Day that Launched 1000 Bids"
 

UGA's newspaper article about Bid Day:

Holy Cow, I'm having flashbacks! Was just telling AZ-AlphaXi and AOIIAngel about the recruitment theme where we did a skit to "Hair" (but we kept our clothes on).

Those Kappas nailed it. Tie-dye, headbands, flowers in the hair, and where did I put my Peace sunglasses? *scurries off to garage to look in treasure chest*

ps keep forgetting, did I send global congratulations to all the wonderful new members at Georgia?

I would swear that UGa published a bid list in recent years. I'm hoping to find out about the local girls.

They did do a list, but I think it was somewhere on the greek life website awhile after recruitment.

I just remember that it was an excel spreadsheet and you could change the sorting....it was interesting to see which chapters took more upperclassmen, which chapters had more out of state girls, or girls from certain cities, etc. by sorting it different ways.

But I haven't seen it again since that year. Then again, I haven't looked. I think it was the year that a bunch of my daughter's friends went through rush--probably 2007.

They posted one in 2007 when my daughter went through, but have not in the years since. There was a change in leadership in greek life and I don't think they agree with posting the names. Wish they would consider it again.

Thank You!
 

To all the GCers who gave such good advice on preparing for recruitment and explaining the process, who acted as virtual hand holders for myself and the other moms of PNMs, who sent messages of congratulations...THANK YOU!!

To momuga: I can't tell you how happy and excited I was when I found out you and your daughter are DDDs. Your comments about 'UGA on the inside' from yours and your daughter's perspectives were so helpful and some of my favorites when this mom was worrying about her PNM. I feel even better about the excellent choice my daughter made on pledging Tri-Delta and thrilled that our daughters will be sisters. Thank you!

I love TriDelta endings!
