Clueless also, you have my prayers today, for you and your daughter. This is an overwhelming situation and I have been through it myself on both sides.
At our UGA orientation, I don't recall them saying that recs weren't "necessary", but they did say not to worry if you didn't know anyone, that that would not keep you out. They also said not to worry about getting lots of recs to one house, that after a couple, no more was no better.
Baby Dawg ended up being cut from many houses that had 1-3 recs total. This a.m. she is headed back to 4 houses from 6 yesterday. One of those that cut her was a favorite, and she loved the ladies that took her around both times. However, we had no rec....don't really know if that counted, or if, like another mom said, she tends to be a little shy, a little reserved, but also is a fabulous girl....she comes out of her shell and becomes a leader when she gets acquainted.
I'm just encouraging her to smile lots, have fun, ask lots of questions and enjoy herself. She texted this a.m. that she headed to her first party and left her good shoes on the bus! I told her just to laugh and say she must have had a moment of heat stroke and explain that she normally would have ditched the rainbows for 3rd round. I think a normal girl would laugh with her and totally relate to that feeling. Everyone is tired, and a little brain-dead at this point.
I, too, think that even if a good girl was cut, there may be an opportunity for Continuous Open Bidding (tell her to listen out for details and how to) or Spring Rush. I've heard that after some graduate, they may fill more spaces.
Am praying for all the UGAdaughters, BabyDawgs and others in the UGA Nation today....
