I just wanted to pass on some info that may be helpful as the UGA girls receive their bids. On Monday, bids were distributed at Auburn. Amidst all of the cheers there were some tears from girls who did not receive their first or second choice. With a little encouragement from their moms, two girls that I know of went ahead and accepted their bids. They were really not sure if they even wanted to do this since they weren't 'in love' with their sorority. Now, only 3 days later these same two girls are loving their sororities! They have spent time with their pledge class and have gotten to know the whole house much better and they are now happy with their decision. Sadly, one other girl who was released after prefs., received a snap bid from her third choice. After consulting her mom she decided not to accept the offer. The reason? Mom and daughter had their hearts set on one sorority only. Now she feels as if she is missing out on something fun and exciting. The moral of the story: No matter what happens today, please encourage your daughter to give it a chance. Don't make hasty decisions at such an emotional time. Good Luck to all of you!
