Okay, my daughter just called with her Philanthropy day results. She has been asked back to 8 sorority houses after being selected for 13 house visits yesterday (she visited the maximum 11 allowed). She is allowed make seven visits today. Guess what? She is totally thrilled with each house, saying: "Daddy, if I had to pick an absoulte favorite this morning I just couldn't do it. I love them all." She promised to give a 100% effort at every house. Needless to say, I am really proud of my Bama daughter.

Sounds like she's having a good recruitment. If her invitations continue like they have, I hope she'll be able to make a decision!

Not being familiar with the process, I imagine the tables could turn at a moment's notice. She was selected for 13 from Open House, then 8 from Philanthropy Day. She hypothetically could get reduced to 1, 2 or even 0 after today, I suppose. So I don't know if she is quite out of the woods yet. Thank the stars above Alabama we are getting near the end!

Congrats to Bama Daughter!!!!

While you are correct, the tides could turn at any moment, I would say that in a competitive recruitment like Bama, getting invites to more houses than parties for each round so far is a GREAT thing. Her positive attitude and open mind will really help her out now. Best of luck to her and I can't wait to hear the next update!

Hello!! I've been reading this thread and I echo all of the earlier sentiments. It's great to see a Dad so supportive of his daughter's recruitment!!

Best of luck to your daughter, BamaDad!! I'm looking forward to seeing how things went after this round!

And hang in there, you are almost done!! Hee hee!

Kudos to BamaDaughter! It's awesome she is doing so well in such a competitive system. I attended the Univ. of Alabama about a million years ago, and even then, it was very competitive (although this was the 1970s). I wish both you and your daughter the best! It's really hard on us parents -- we're the ones waiting by the phone with bated breath!! It'll be my turn next week -- TexasDaughter starts Recruitment on Monday!

Good luck to TexasDaughter next week! My daughter is having the time of her life, but she is so anxious to find out something. Very upbeat today, so i hope her luck continues....
