I finally got in touch with my friend! She had a really rough day. According to her, a lot of girls did. Her Rho Chi said that cuts have been really severe this year. 1300 hundred girls registered for recruitment, and there is only room in quota for around 900. She was unforunately cut from Lucille Ball
. However, she was invited back to:
Grace Kelly - She loves this house! The girls are very much like her. Sweet girls who seem very caring and laid back. She also liked how all the girls were very pretty but not intimidating. She is really hoping that this can be the home for her.
Jane Fonda - My friend really loved this house today. She has gone somewhat back and forth here, but today she talked to a girl she loved. She also really enjoyed seeing some girls she had talked to during first and second round. She can really see herself being sisters with some of these ladies.
Doris Day - She was really surprised to be asked back to this house. The girls are incredibly sweet and welcoming here, but she still is not feeling much of a connection with them. She would love to go back for pref round, as many people have told her that pref is when you will really feel which sorority is your home.
Dorothy Dandridge - She has given this house many tries, and even though she loves talking to girls here, she can not see herself as their sisters. She is excited to know she can be friends with them outside of sorority life.
Judy Garland and Ava Gardner - Despite another return to this house. My friend knows that this is not the home for her. She said all the girls were great, and she already knew a couple of girls in here, but it's just not the right sorority for her.
She was really dissapointed to be cut from Lucille Ball, but 5 out of 6 for skit round is pretty amazing. I am hoping she gets her choices for pref. I am so excited for her. Bid day is on Wednesday! I'll keep you posted when she tells me which houses she got to pref!
UGA recruitment has been brutal this year. I want to tell all the girls out there rushing to hang in there and stick it out. Pref round can really change everything, and you won't believe how at home you can feel, and how emotional you may get. You don't have to accept a bid, but you should really consider sticking it out through pref. Remember, all the sororities at UGA are really wonderful organizations. Best of luck to everyone!
