Breathe...it will be stressful, but they'll figure it out. UA is one of (if not THE) most organized in the country. They'll have parties tonight & probably add in more tomorrow to make it all work.

I just hope the PNM's found out which houses invited them back before 4:30. They have been waiting all day.

Yes, it was a crazy day at Bama today. I had just walked into the house around noon and found out about the computer issue. Seems that a group's computer system totally malfunctioned and they were hours past the deadline for sending in their list.

Then the storm with lightening was about to blow in and they had to delay for another 3 hours. Our girls had been dressed and ready for over 8 hours before the first party started. But everyone had great attitudes despite the long wait!

Everyone realizes that tomorrow will be a very long day too. Hope the computers and weather cooperate.

I did not drive by the new Delta Gamma house today but plan to go back and drool when I come back through Tuscaloosa on Thursday!

FYI, my PNM said that the new Delta Gamma house was stunning!

[Titchou]

Thank you! We love it too.

How did everything go in Tuscaloosa today after the craziness of yesterday? I only know one PNM that is going through recruitment at UA, but haven't heard much from her mom.

I'm really surprised that there isn't much talk on here about UA recruitment this year like there has been in years past.

I have 6 Bama girls - just haven't heard anything.

Today went much better. Some chapters are still meeting..the moving vans were late. They started early this morning to accommodate the parties they needed to make up. They are calling for rain again for Pref...fingers crossed it hold off until after the parties. The PNMs wore their yellow shirts today...I saw so many cute pairs of shorts

I heard a stupid rumor today that there had been a computer glitch, and 500 girls were cut completely due to grades. That can't really happen can it? I would hate that for these rushees.

There is never a computer glitch.

^^^^Long-standing urban legend. No such thing. Likely made up to make those who MAY have been cut for grades feel better. Even if women were legitimately cut for grades, there's no way it was THAT many (that's 1/4th of the PNM pool!)

Computer glitches = human error blamed on the computer.
