Texas Daughter's Recruitment Thread!

[violetpretty]

My brothers say that I am in "EK" or they will just go "eeeeeeeeekk!" Then of course, I explain that I am not in Epsilon Kappa, but SIGMA Kappa, and Sigma starts with S, so you could say SK, SigKap, or Sigma K.

My husband does this. When people find out he married a "sorority" girl, they ask him which one & he always replies, "Eek sorority" & then says Sigma Kappa. It drives me crazy. Dang GDI!

Is today the day that little TexasDaughter is being dropped off at college for her Rush Week? Do tell...we are wrapping up some other PNM threads (hopefully with ++ results!!) so we addicts need to have another thread to feed our addiction...

GOOD LUCK!!

It's time to let the cat out of the bag...although many of you guessed the school, TexasDaughter gave me permission to confirm tonight...she will be going through Recruitment at the awesome Texas A&M University

Yes, this weekend was the time to take our baby to college. What an experience. When it's the last little chickie leaving the nest, my husband and I felt we had to go along for the big sendoff. We live only an hour and a half away, so that made the parting somewhat easier, but TexasMom confesses she did shed a few tears.

Incidentally, like most of the readers of this forum, I have been absolutely enthralled by both BamaDad and Southernyankee's eloquent posts. It's a bit intimidating to have to follow such popular threads. I hope TexasDaughter handles herself as well during this entire process as both of the young ladies described in their parents' threads. To me, that is part of what this entire experience should be - it teaches our daughters so much - how to handle happiness, sadness, joy, hope and yes, even disappointment -- all within the space of a few days. (Of course, that's me speaking on the eve of the first day of Recruitment -- we'll see how I handle things later this week!)

TexasDaughter is to attend a convocation event tonight where she will meet her Recruitment Counselor and her group. All the PNMs will be given white tee-shirts to wear tomorrow for the first round of parties. They are to attend six parties tomorrow morning, then break for several hours, and attend the final six tomorrow night.

Oh, my, I can't believe it's almost here -- I think I need to go hit the Pepto-Bismol. I'm signing off now..

Best of luck to your daughter, Texasmom! I wrote many, many recommendations for girls at A&M this year so I am quite interested to hear of your daughter's experiences.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Along with the Pepto...a big fat ambien always helps for those worry filled nights!

good luck to your daughter and to you too!!
