I'm so excited that I had to write this somewhere, but I'm not sure it deserves its own special thread . . . so I figured this was the best place for it.
I just got back from our Bid Day celebration. We (the Tri Deltas at the University of Wisconsin) picked up EIGHT brand new members -- including both of my rush crushes! -- and they are all so cute and sweet and awesome. There were three girls in last year's spring pledge class, so this is really exciting. Plus we have a gazillion names of girls who are interested in COB-ing, so the spring pledge class will probably be even bigger by the time initiation rolls around.
According to uwgirl, Chi Omega got nine equally wonderful new girls. Alpha Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Sigma Delta Tau, and Alpha Chi Omega were also participating in informal spring rush, although I'm not sure how any of them did yet.
One of the other girls in my pledge class remarked today, "Oh, I love this! It's like getting presents at Christmas!" as the new girls came in the front door.
