This mom is going crazy!!!
 

I've been on this forum everyday for two months! Sweet girl is rushing at U of Alabama and I'm finally crashing. Soooo very nervous and excited for her! I just have to hold it together for a few more days but man...how do you guys do it? Of course she's as calm as can be and sounds extremely reasonable. ARGH!! This is tough. It's not like I have a job I'm neglecting and other children... This is so embarrassing. Whew. Now I feel a bit better. Thanks!

We get it! SEC recruitment is killer, isn't it?

yes yes yes!!!
 

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
(sorry)

is today 5-party day?

she had 7 parties yesterday and finds out pref tomorrow. So soon right? I think I'll lock myself in my room until then! Why do I feel like it's me? I know it's not me? I'm not a helicopter parent ...only I think I'm becoming one now. I think I should call my DR for medication!

do you think you can buy wine at 10:30 am? Do you think that looks bad?

I don't know! The only thing that helped me was staying veeeerry busy!

Where can I find that glass?
 

I must have that glass!!

love you ladies...I'm going to look through recruitment stories again and see if I can find something I haven't read! Oh my sanity!!!!

Take deep breaths, grasshopper. Just don't hyperventilate!

:D

Hang in there! The end is near and it will be fabulous and full of laughter!

I was there only three years ago, and I still feel your pain. It will be over before you know it! My husband still says one of our happiest days as a family was meeting her on the lawn of her sorority house that Saturday. It was such a relief to all of us that it was over! I have another going through at a smaller school next week, and she told me after what my first and I went through, she could not see herself going through recruitment if she went to Bama. It's definitely a lot less stress the second time around in a less competitive environment (but still exciting :)).

Best of luck to your DD. My niece was a Theta at Bama and loved her experience. If it helps to ease your nerves (I always hear how brutal UA recruitment is), other than me and hubby, there were no other Greeks in the family (and my sorority doesn't have a chapter there so I couldn't write a rec) and she decided to go through at the last minute. And she was from out of state. :) So, she basically went through with no connections and found a home. :)
