Texas A&M recruitment is almost here!
 

I'm moving DD to College Station tomorrow, and recruitment gets started on Sunday. It's hard to believe this weekend is finally here - I'm so excited for this new chapter in her life but it's such a bittersweet time for me. Best of luck to all the girls going through recruitment - I hope they all find sorority homes that bring them as much happiness, fond memories, and lifelong friendships as Phi Mu has given (and continues to give) me!

I wonder if Ree Drummond's daughter is going through recruitment?

I hope Phi Mu chooses to submit a packet to present at TAMU if they open for expansion. Just saying! You have great chapters in the Houston area so lots of alumnae help.

I heard the final number for recruitment this year is 1402. I believe that is up at bit from last year.

Wow! This number have finally surpassed UT. It used to be that A&M wasn't as big of a Greek school as Texas or Tech.

If she does, here's hoping she will choose her mom's sorority! PI BETA PHI!!!

LIOB

exactly what I was thinking!

Good Luck to her! How did her first day go?

I have a friend's daughter going through Recruitment also and excited for her. A "big wig" Chi O wrote her rec.

Delta-adpi, other than it being hotter than blazes, she's enjoying it. Today is day 2 of Go Greek round (parties started yesterday afternoon after convocation) where they visit all twelve houses (six yesterday and six today). Philanthropy will be spread out over two days, as well, starting tomorrow. Like Just interested mentioned, there are 1400 girls are going through.

How did I not know this...have to go tell generallygreek right now! I love the Pioneer Woman!

Great! How many rounds are they doing with that many PNMs? I am amazed at the size of Greek life at A&M. It's really grown from what I remember my friends going through 25 or so years ago.

From the panhellenic website, it looks like two "Go Greek!"/open house days, two philanthropy day, one skit day, and then pref. Bid day is this Saturday.

Thanks! How is it going so far for your daughter?

Does anyone know what time bid day is today?

Am waiting to hear how Ag_Sis did - hoping she found a home!

Bid day check-in starts at 3:45!

Thank you howdy96!

Quota was 87. Kappa delta 100

Where did you get this number?

Delta-adpi, it's gone well for her. A couple of bumps along the way but she was happy to pref three houses yesterday. It's been pretty brutal for a lot of the girls.

Just interested, quota of 87 was what Panhellenic was predicting at the parent convocation this past Sunday, so it looks like they were spot-on. Have you heard any figures for any of the other houses?

Gamma Phi got 103

Yea!
 

Gamma Phi has been growing by leaps and bounds! Way to go girls!

Hooray! Now I just wait to hear how my girls did!

Has anyone heard how ag_sis did?

She's posted on GC since recruitment was over but she hasn't said on here if she pledged.

Haha sorry, I guess that's the most important part! Yes I am glad to say that I have found a wonderful home, and I am absolutely LOVING getting to know my new sisters! I'm kind of caught up in a whirl now - I had dinner with some friends' moms and I'm starting to unpack everything and school starts tomorrow! If y'all want to hear a recruitment story I can write that, but it'll probably take a few weeks. I have to say, it's definitely one thing to hear about what happens during recruitment, it's a completely different thing to experience it with all of the emotions (and heat - blegh sweat).

Oh please tell us your story!

Will do! I'll want to type up the entire thing before I post though ;) might take some time.

What chapter did you join?

^^^ I'm betting she wants to write out her story and reveal her chapter at the end! Just pleased that she accepted a bid. I've been holding my breath. Sort of. Yeah.

evidently, Alex did not go Pi Phi ...

Looks like she's a Delta Delta Delta! Congratulations to the Pioneer Daughter on finding her home...I like the picture of Ree doing the Delta hand sign with her daughter and wondering if that's "OK" since it's not her sorority. Cute!

I thought it was adorable!

PS. I was also glad Ree blogged about it. I was wildly curious! LOL!

My friend's daughter pledged Delta Gamma! She is grinning from ear to ear in her bid day pic!

Congratulations on a successful recruitment!

Lagniappe -- where did your daughter pledge?

DG is a great house at A&M.
The girls seem to know how to balance hard work and FUN. I am sure she will be very happy there. I saw lot's of bid day pics and its safe to say a good time was had by all:)

ChioLu, DD is a very happy and excited Tri Delta :)

Great! Congrats to your daughter!
