No, 13 children but we still have 6 at home!
Okay, let's see. One of his sisters attended his university several years ago and it's not near us at all. We'd talked to her about fraternities at this school and she remarked that it seemed like the big ones mostly had boys from that area and that they liked to ride around campus in their pickups and let out Rebel yells.
Oh, that sounded good. But I posted something on GC to that effect over a year ago and this fraternity member from that school pmed me and said, "I bet you're talking about my university, aren't you?" Well, yeah.
We exchanged several pms about the system there and I felt better.
Tall Son visited almost every group. He found that the fraternity of one of his uncles (a big group) wouldn't be rushing this fall because they were on social probation. He liked the big ol' fraternity of several of his uncles but he did say that they were rather low-key. He knew he really liked 2 of the medium-sized groups and kept returning to them too.
When he got his pref invitations, he chose those 3. We had no idea which way he would go. Would he choose his uncles' big fraternity because of the family heritage? Or would he go with one of those other groups that made him feel so at home?
We waited anxiously for his call after pref, only--and this is the truth--we switched cell phone services that night and he's been phoneless since then. We sent him his new phone today and he gets it tomorrow at 11, at which time we hope for tons of details!
