Round 3 (Leadership)
My daughter texted me this morning bright and early after she had her invites and was so excited to tell me that she was invited back to 8 houses. She was really happy to not only have a full schedule but also to see her top 2 on the list - Aspen and Curacao. She has loved Aspen from the start and was especially excited to see that they keep asking her back.
Here were her invites:
Aspen, Curacao, London, Cabo, Paris, Cairo, Tokyo, Barcelona
Not bad! This meant she would be busy from morning until night. 5 parties in she let me know that she was “sooooo tired”. I really wasn’t that sympathetic as I sat at my desk reading contracts and crunching numbers on excel spreadsheets, but, I gave her some encouraging words anyway (not that she really was needing them). Later that day she texted me her top 2: Aspen and Curacao, again. She said she would call me tomorrow night after the final round of parties was complete. I wasn’t sure at this point if I was going to let her hold me off until then but I kept my mouth shut because she had already had a full day and was off to the FSU Luau on the Union Green. I was suspecting she was looking forward to a nice long sleep in her bed after a long day and didn’t really want to wake up any earlier than necessary to have more sorority talk.
All I have kept hearing in my ear are the advisors during Orientation telling us parents, “Do not text your kids all the time!” Well, maybe they weren’t thinking of sorority recruitment and how important it is to get daily updates so we can post our story on Greek Chat! That’s what I kept telling myself anyway.
