I don't think you can move into the dorms on the 14th.
I will probably be asking about this and many other questions when we go up for orientation. When rush starts I may just drive up with her, and hang around until I know she is settled in in a house or dorms. I've never been to Seattle so I'm sure I can fill the time. (PS I don't think she is the type that will fixate on one or two groups and drop the rest. She's pretty open to the idea of checking them all out). Although I 'm thrilled there is an AGD chapter, I have told her that it is up to her to decide and I won't disown her if she goes another way  .
Since you are from UW, what is your opinion on listing legacies on the application? IS UW a place that it could get her dropped from some houses, if they see that she is a legacy to another house, or does it make no difference. I had never heard of that until I started reading here.

I see the issue now - and I'm sorry to say I don't have an answer for you. I would definitely ask that question (about housing) at Orientation (or before by calling the Panhellenic office - once school/finals are over hopefully you will get a better response).
About listing legacies, I would recommend she do so. Last year the UW Panhellenic revealed legacies to only the legacy chapters - to help prevent that practice of legacies getting dropped from other chapters who assumed the PNM would want to pledge their legacy chapter. My guess is they would continue to do this for 2008 as well. The AGD chapter I'm sure will want to know that your daughter is a legacy. Incidentally, I've known some people in that local chapter - they are a wonderful group of women.
