UGA 2010 Fall Recruitment
I guess I have been 'suffering on the sidelines' here for long enough...so I will post about my daughter's recruitment at UGA in the hopes that other mom/dads or PNMs going through UGA's recruitment will also post so we can commiserate/cheer together. I have no Greek background so both my daughter and I are very grateful to GC and my greek friends for all of the advice and assistance. We did get recs for all 17 sororities, some multiple, and some were from UGA chapters.
We were told at the parent orientation that there were 1274 girls participating at the start of rush. Today is the end of Round One, which took place over two incredibly hot days, with 11 houses yesterday and 6 houses today. The girls met with their recruitment counselors and 'selected' their favorite 12 houses and 'ranked' the remaining 6. (I am still not sure how this select/rank system works.) My daughter sounded extremely exhausted and a bit confused about her choices, but she did the best she could with the short visits she had at the houses. There were a few standouts in her mind but the rest kind of all blended together. She did use a notebook for her thoughts like suggested here on GC. I am hoping with a nap this afternoon, she can go into Round Two a little less overwhelmed. She also sounded a bit homesick (more for her friends than good old mom and dad) and I reminded her that she has a great opportunity for meeting lots of girls both during recruitment and hopefully if she ends up bidding. I guess it's gonna be another sleepless night here....
