Thinking of all the Moms this morning--those whose daughters are waiting for Bids, and also those who were up last night wondering how to support their girls who are so sad that they won't be at Faurot today.
Hang in there everyone! This week classes begin and whatever the outcome, their focus can move beyond Rush and onto finding their place on campus academically and socially. For a lot of these girls a sorority will be an important part of that picture and I am just thrilled for them. 30 years later I feel more connected to my sorority than ever and see, with hindsight, benefits that I didn't even realize as a collegian.
For those who aren't Greek at the moment, academic and service Greek Letter Organizations, faith based organizations, Residence Halls, student government, clubs focused on sports and any other interest you can imagine are all ways to start getting involved on campus. And there's always COB! Again, if that's an interest for your daughters, encourage them to reach out to new sorority members in their dorms and classes and other organizations in the coming months. The more involved and invested they become on campus, the happier they'll be (while also likely improving their chances of joining a sorority later via COB).
A big hug to everyone here: Moms and chapter advisors. We all want what's best for Mizzou's Greek system and for the girls going through recruitment. Chapter advisors and Panhellenic Officers, thank you very much for your service to your GLOs and to the Greek System. You help keep Mizzou sororities strong.
