The men had to go pick up their bids during the school day and having a heavy schedule, he didn't go until later. The Carnation Nation was freaking out all over the South, not having any phone contact with Tall Son. None of us would have pressured him but we wanted to know which group he'd choose!
So he went for his bids and he had three: two from the medium-sized groups and one from the glamour/legacy group. He didn't want all his uncles and cousins to be disappointed but there was one group that had stood out for him during the whole recruitment period, one where he really felt at home. And he finally chose that one; there is a new star on the Carnation Nation flag and my son is a member of:
SIGMA PHI EPSILON!
And guess what! He is now a brother of the GreekChatter with whom I'd corresponded for over a year, although the GCer didn't know his name until 2 days ago. Another connection: one of our daughters is Sig Ep Sweetheart on another campus and her boyfriend is president of that chapter.
He's happy and we're happy! I hope he has a great time at the football game today with his brothers! Maybe next year at the same time, I'll be writing a fraternity recruitment story for his brother.
