Revenge for the playoffs
 

Oh I am so happy for her! When I saw that she was down to "Giants and Panthers" I thought, "Hmmm now would NOT be a good time to recall the Giants vs. Panthers playoff game from this past season." I'm glad to see that the "Giants" "won" this time, but more importantly, that your daughter got her first choice! Congrats to her and PBF!!!

Fantastic...she got her first choice!

Much joy to the new Pi Phi!!!!

Congratulations, southernyankee, to your daughter and Pi Beta Phi!! How much fun will it be to have an Angel in your house!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

Hooray!!!!

First of all, a HUGE congratulations to southernyankee and her daughter - I am absolutely ecstatic that it all worked out in the end for both mom and daughter!

Second, every PNM should read this thread because it's a textbook example of how to maximize your chances. Southernyankee and her daughter did everything the way it should have been done:
- prepared ahead of time with recs/resumes/thank you notes
- went into it with a completely open mind
- went into it with a great attitude of have fun, and make the best of the situation and be realistic
- recognized that if she didn't get a bid, she'd still be okay
- maximized her opportunities and went to every invite available
- had favorites but didn't bolt when some of them cut her
- went to pref willing to give both houses a chance
- saw the positive side of each house and
- would have been happy with any bid

THAT's how you go through rush!

Southernyankee: you can let your breath out now! And - geek that I am - I checked the national Pi Phi website and there's an on-line store so you can now start buying lots and lots of Pi Phi stuff. If they have a catalog, be sure to get one - you'll just ooooh and aaaah over all the cute stuff.

Two quick questions: how did her roommate do? and what sorority is your other daughter in?

Again - congrats!

Congrats to the new Pi Phi!!!!!!!!!:)

Hooray for the Mom!!!!!!!!!!!:D

This has been so exciting! Tell your daughter congratulations on Pi Beta Phi!

Congratulations, southernyankee! Pi Phi is awesome! My daughter (Kristen!) is thrilled beyond belief with her new sisters at DZ. I believe she said there were 83 girls in this DZ pledge class.

Give your obviously wonderful daughter best regards from BamaDad....
