It's been fun reading all of your comments and suggestions! I also have a daughter going through recruitment this week. She was very happy after Round 1, invited back to 11~almost all what she felt were her best fits. Invited back to 7 today, but very disappointed when she lost the one she felt a strong connection to. Had a hard time shaking off the disappointment despite my encouragement that she will end up happy. Praying her sad mood doesn't play into who invites her back after today.
I saw the link above for the livestream for the Tiger Walk--wasn't sure if you all were aware there is also a live stream for Bid Day--here's the link:

Now after today--does it go down to 3? Oh boy, the end is near! Best of luck to all!

Hello everyone! It's great to see some other people chiming in on this thread this morning. Momoftiger beagled1 and GoMizzou, that's wonderful your daughters both have so many houses to go back to today! Congrats to all of your special snowflakes!

beagled1 and GoMizzou I remember how hard it was to think that anyone at all would "cut" my precious daughter--couldn't they see how amazing she was?! And it's especially hard when a girl has felt a strong connection with a house--can be hard to move past that. I imagine, GoMizzou, that your encouraging words were playing over and over in your daughter's head as she walked to her first party and helped lift her mood by the time she got there. It's so hard on us Moms--they come to us with all the most difficult feelings and then sometimes forget to tell us when they feel better! (Meanwhile, we're thinking about them...)

So great that they are going to Livestream both Tiger Walk and Bid Day this year! I'm very much looking forward to hearing from my daughter about her chapter's new member class. Two more days! It's a long week. Hang in there Moms! Oh and GoMizzou yes, tomorrow there are 3 parties. Unless they've changed it from last year? I guess that's possible but I doubt it. Anyone else know for sure?

pearlalum exciting to think your daughter will be coming to Mizzou campus soon! As everyone here keeps saying, such a great school with many wonderful traditions and a strong, interconnected Greek Life. I see you're a Sigma Kappa--I hear wonderful things about that chapter at Mizzou. My daughter has a good friend in that house and it's great to see how much they've grown in just a few years! My daughter's friend is very happy there.

I am so excited to see that they are live streaming bid day!! Good to "meet" you GoMizzou! What residence hall is your daughter in? Mine is in mark twain.

Excited they are streaming bid day. Pretty sure they didn't last year. Very cool!!

That is exciting that they are streaming bid day. Thank you GoMizzou for sharing the link. I got to be there for bid day last year. It was a great experience, especially because my daughter received a bid to my sorority. It was such such fun to share the excitement and give her my old necklace with our sorotity's symbol. I was feeling kind of sad to not get to see it this year. Watching on line will be the next best thing.

I'm not sure if it is the same for every house, but in my daughter's house only the seniors will go to Faurot and the rest of the girls wait back at the house to greet the new members there.

Looking forward to hearing about your daughters' pref day experiences and when they find their new sisterhoods! Thanks for sharing their experiences with us.

Good luck to everyone during Preference Round today! Moms, hang on... just one more day!

Good luck to all of the moms as they wait to hear all of the details! I am praying my daughter finds her house and her sisters today! She has invites to three very wonderful and all very different houses.

Good morning Mizzou PNM Moms! Thinking of you all this morning and remembering the emotions of this day, from when my own daughter went through rush and from my own time rushing and being in a sorority. The active members at all of the houses have been working so hard all week and they are really excited about today. It's a very special time.

I wish all of the PNMs wonderful experiences today and pray that each one who attends Preference Round finds her sorority home.

I'm also thinking of the girls who have dropped--please know that if this has happened to any of your daughters that there IS life after recruitment, whatever the outcome. Leaving Rush without a Bid can be tough especially for the freshmen who are just starting out, but Mizzou is an amazing campus with so many opportunities to find community and a place to contribute.

Good luck to everyone today! I'm really looking forward to hearing how each one of your daughters is doing.

My daughter also is going to her top 3 today~struggled when choosing #3~her #4 had been one of her tops all week-but I think she knows she could be comfortable with either...Girls are having to deal with thunderstorms down there this morning~what a day to be all dressed up and in heels! Good luck to all~can't wait to see the live stream tomorrow!

Momoftiger just saw this--that's wonderful! I know she will have a spectacular day.

This is so great GoMizzou! Ugh it is a bummer for them to have to deal with the rain. At least they will all be similarly wet, and no one will pass out from the heat this year! Congratulations to your daughter. I know she'll enjoy today.

Good Morning too! And good luck to all today. It's storming today in CoMo, so let's hope that everyone has an umbrella and a sense of humor as they (hopefully) attend pref parties. WalkintheWoods says it all, there is life after recruitment as MIZ has so much to offer. Thinking of you mom's and your dd's. Can't wait to hear all about it!

Just heard about several girls who got the call today~feel absolutely terrible for them! To go through such a roller coaster of a week-and to end up with nothing-my heart breaks for them...as you all said-there are so many other opportunities-but what a disappointment as your college experience begins.

:( so sad! I hate hearing this.

Good luck to all the girls today. Sounds like they are happy now and headed to their soon to be homes tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about released girls. My daughter knew girls who had been released. And she entered this round with 2, rather than 3 houses, so I was a wreck.

Hope the weather improves!
