Bamamom, several years ago my daughter did not get a bid either, but she did a few weeks after formal recruitment.
There are always a few PNMs that quit, and some members graduate in December. There is always a
handful of sororities that COB. It is not normally the big-big-big groups. Often the few spots that do occur go to friends of sorority members, but you never know.
This year is a little different with the moratorium on pledging before Alpha Phi begins their colonization.
Daughter needs to go to the Panhellenic office and sign up for COB. I would especially encourage her to explore Alpha Phi, as well. She also really needs to again consider the smaller groups. Students can have just as fulfilling a sorority experience in a smaller group - sometimes even more. A smaller group is often a closer group. It also affords a greater opportunity to serve in a leadership position, and to REALLY make a difference in the group.
That said...Greeks do NOT make up the majority of students at UA, even though it sometimes seems like it! There are
plenty of activities and new friends out there for your daughter.
Encourage her to go to Bama Blast (on Tuesday, I think), and sign up for some great campus organizations there!
