I'm guessing that someone's mother/grandmother/other close female relative was on the horn behind the scenes.

(Though I'm curious to hear just why it was that Callie "had" to make it all the way to prefs with Taos? Did she want to get through prefs b/c she planning to still list Vail on her bid card? Was a family member trying to arrange for her to be on the bid list even though they cut her? Very interesting...)

oh hell yeah, im SO sure Anna Alumnae was on the phone threatening the Ally Actives of the GLOs to ixnay on the idbays or else (while making a slashing motion across her neck). interesting! or should i say, Scandalous!

just a few years ago, a high up in a chapter at ISU, was on the phone after a legacy and highly-alumni recommended pnm was cut--

ISU has too many chapters though...there were only 11 at the time that the OP rushed. (ISU has had at least 13 chapters since 1968.)

I've tried to be patient but...oh...my...god...hurry up! I hate having things drawn ouuuuut. Especially when we know that you know how everything ends, it's one thing when it's a real-time rush story but another thing entirely when it's a retro rush...
gah.

Had to make it through to Taos pref so that she would be eligible for a snap bid from Vail because she didn't drop out of rush?

Could that be it?

I don't know... I'm so confused.
