for BamaMAMA
Hi BamaMama,
I was in a sorority at a smaller school about ten years ago and also served as a Rho Chi. My first cousin rushed at Bama two years ago. I should have taken the week off we were all so nervous for her. She actually didn't have a real good GPA and didn't know many active at all. So we were really anxious for her. She did secure recs to all houses and was a legacy to two houses. But, she ended up pledging something different (and in my opinion one of the best houses on campus).
Having said that, tonight the sororities will probably do grade cuts for the most part. They can at least get their numbers down this way. Some sororities have strict grade requirements, others are real flexbile (thank goodness). Anyway, I believe she'll get her list early in the morning. She might have a full schedule, she might not. Don't stress.
Believe it or not my faith in UA's rush system was renewed after my cousin had not only a bid to an incredible house, but a wonderful rush. She knew what she was up against, we coached her some but she did it! She has a great personality, told the houses she liked she liked them, etc.
If she will keep an open mind, she should do fine. Also, there were not many "bad ones" my cousin encountered. She truly would have been happy in most of them which speaks a lot for the girls.
Hope this helps. I'll be happy to answer whatever you need me to. Keep us posted!
