I agree that posting the link is preferred, but in this and the Auburn thread the complaint was that the Auburn site was sorted strangely.

And whoever asked - yes, I live in Oklahoma. You must be stalking me.

Congratulations to your daughter - We love our new Gammies!

The young lady I wrote a rec for (her sister is the current VPMR for AOII at Ole Miss) went ZTA! She is so excited! She had a wonderful recruitment experience at Alabama as well!

She may not be, but I am. I like the way you sort, IP. ;)

It's me..... I confess! I was an undergrad at OSU! Thanks for all your help in organizing this info.

this should be a different thread, I know, but what about OU?! Recruitment began on Friday, and not one post about numbers, etc.....

I graduated from OSU. Masters from TU. Did some undergraduate work at Illinois as well. I'm an advisor at Arkansas.

Haven't heard anything yet from OU but I sent several recs down there. I'm interested to see how they turn out.

I'm so happy for 2 Bama girls I rec'd!!! One pledged AOII :D and the other pledged Pi Phi. Congrats to everyone--what an amazing week!

irishpipes ... keep up the good postings!

Just got back from the Squeal Run at Bama. It is such an amazing site. Went to The Trunk yesterday, It is a store that has a section for each of the sororities where the girls can pretty much get anything with their letters on it, and they already have a section for Alpha Phi. Their house looks beautiful from the outside and the rumors were that over 150 girls had already signed up for interviews. It seems that not only has Bama welcomed Alpha Phi, but they have rolled out the red carpet. It was wonderful to see!

I am so excited to say that after a grueling week my daughter has pledged ZTA at Bama!!! She is very excited about it.

Congratulations to your new ZTA!

Sorry, I thought I was on the Alabama thread...........:D
Love the posts and lists, just didn't see the title Auburn on this thread for the names.

Looks like it was an interesting rush week for many and that holds true for my daughter as her path this week was a winding one that took many strange turns. But in the end she attended prefs at three excellent sororities and ended up pledging the only sorority she ever really felt comfortable with.

The young lady I wrote a rec for at Alabama pledged ZTA too!

Yay for FreshmanDad's Daugher...do you want to tell us nosy old gals which chapter she joined???

FreshmanDad,
We are so happy for your daughter. It had to be a great experience going through SEC recruitment being from out of state.

Bid day at bama
 

:)I just got home from Tuscaloosa and couldn't wait to post! My daughter got her #1 pick!!! She is now a proud member of the pledge class of ADPi:)! She was so excited. They are already on their way to a pledge retreat! What a fun way to end a stressful week...

Her roommate also went ADPi:)! What a funny coincidence!

Thanks GC! All of you have been a great help this week!:)

They were extremely nice and welcoming to us. To be honest I was nervous about the my daughter going through rush. You hear som many horror stories but it has turned out to be one the best experiences of her life(so far -- she is only 18 haha)

DANG!!! When are they going to publish the Bama List? I am dying here.
& Congrats Freshman Dad---We hope that you reveal her pick...

Oh, I know I really want to see the complete list instead of hearing bits and pieces from my friends! ERG!!!

Welcome, Welcome to uadaughter and uadaughter's roomie!!

Please tell that they (and their New Member class) are all welcome in the ADPi Forum!

That's a good point - those new members should all know that we'd love to have them here at Greek Chat.

I know some of you are going to think this is a crazy question but what do they mean by old row at Alabama?

Congrats!
 

Bear- Congrats to you and your daughter! Its wonderful to be a Gamma Phi Beta~ pink carnations to you both!

Thanks, Merry - now I've got "It's great . . . to be . . .a Gammaaaa Phi Beta!" going through my head!:rolleyes:

Old Row is Colonial Drive ... the newer houses are the next street over.

Houses on Old Row are Phi Mu, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Omicron Pi, and Kappa Alpha Theta.

I thought Alpha Gam was old row and First Circle.

Now, I did my undergrad at Florida and simply teach here now ... but you are correct in Alpha Gam was there originally. Apparently, when they enlarged the stadium, the KD house and Alpha Gam house were moved ... the Tri-Delts chose to build a new house ... I think. I merely mentioned the only surviving houses.

Welcome to all the new Zetas!
 

Congrats to your friend, and Bamazta's daughter, too! ;););)

[COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW ZETAS![/COLOR]

My son is a Pi Kapp at Bama, a Junior this year, and he and his friends go to the stadium to watch the 'squeal run' so they can see which House gets which girls, and he said the Zeta's had 'the best class !', of course he is a little slanted since I was/am a Zeta and his sister, my daughter was also, but...he usually is brutally honest.:)

Congrats to all the moms and friends and especially all the new members of the Greek community! Whew! I am exhausted reading all the posts!

Just got back from UA! It was the most incredible thing I've ever seen. My daughter pledged DZ, her second choice.

No...KD, Alpha Gam and DDD are in the houses they've been in for decades. Pi Beta Phi moved...the others on the row folded long before.
"Old Row" does not mean the age of the house. It's a status thing. Read the thread and post that OTW referenced, please.

My mother-in-law was a DZ ... we are a veritable alphabet soup in my family! Haven't had two of the same sorority since I pledged my Ohio Wesleyan grandmother's KKG at UF.

I don't think it's a purely geographic distinction. I think it has more to do with how long groups have been at Alabama.

While the street is certainly still described as being the old row, a group can move and still be an old row group, I think.

Gotcha ... so THAT'S why my daughter's Tri-Delt dues are so much higher? You see, I was a Kappa at UF and "know" that their house at UA is old ... learn something new every day!

Thanks, toots!

Old Row really is really meaningless as it is a fairly arbritrary designation. Alpha Gam, KD, Tri-Delt, Kappa, ChiO and Phi Mu are considered by most to be "Old Row" with AOPi and Alpha Chi are included quite a bit. This throws location out as these houses are on both streets of sorority row. Also, ADPi, which is the second oldest house on campus, was never considered "Old Row" when I was in school but AOPi, which was one of the newer houses, was. You can probably see why I see it as a fairly arbirtrary designation since age nor location have nothing to do with it.

Clarification: By age, I mean the length of time each chapter has been in existence at Alabama. NOT the age of the physical house.

That is very interesting--I never knew that about AOPi

I've also heard AOII described as the best of new row, so I guess it depends on who you ask.

[shaking my first at the Alabama Panhellenic site]

Well, I've wasted another day hovering on GreekChat waiting for recruitment information. I'm giving up for the day which means the list will be posted in the next ten minutes. [/shaking of fist]

LOL
 

SwtxBelle-- oh goodie! We will have to make sure all the new Gamma Phi Betas learn it as well! ( Now it's running through my head!):):D

Congrats to all new members of all groups- it's great to be Greek! NO matter the letters we need to stick together!
