My daughter is at UGA recruitment also, and I'm exhausted (smiling). Actually, so far, so good...we're prepared for anything tomorrow. My two best sister friends from my Alpha Chi house at UGA are holding my hand and holding me up through this process. Lovely daughter is doing great (the biggest problem we have is that she went potluck for a roomie and that is proving to be a less desirable situation.) Roomie isn't rushing (not a problem), but doesn't seem to talk.

When daughter was asked 17 times in the last two days (after "what's your major") "what do you think of your roommate", she replied, "well, she just doesn't talke." The sister guiding her through one house said, "doesn't talk....you mean doesn't actually talk....like...uh...can't talk." My daughter said, "You know, Mom, when someone tells me someone doesn't talk, I don't automatically assume they are mute!". We laughed a lot over that one. She felt better knowing that anyone can have a spacey moment when meeting new people!

We finally heard from UGADaughter (thanks for the nickname -- I couldn't figure out what to call her). She called UGAMom a few minutes ago. She had another really fun day today, but she also really liked the 2 hour nap she got this afternoon. Sounds like all the houses are doing a really good job making the girls feel comfortable and at home. Her buddies also had fun today, and they all appreciated the break they got this afternoon.

UGADaughter liked all the houses she saw today, and especially liked three of them. Of the 17 sororities she says there are at least 8 that she feels really good about at this point. Fortunately she had recs for 7 of those 8, plus three others. Even better, she is making lots of new friends along the way, at the houses, in her dorm and in her recruitment group.

So the two days that are happy for everyone are over now, and we'll see what happens tomorrow. My fingers are crossed for all the girls at UGA.

What do you mean by "going potluck"? I'm not familiar with that term!

I'm excited.... could we have a legacy AXO new member at the end of this recruitment?

Best of luck to your daughter, whether or not she ends up in AXO! (but let's cross our fingers...)

And UGADad, I'm glad everything went well for your daughter today. Here's to another great day tomorrow.

"Going potluck" means deciding not to pick a roommate she knows ahead of time. It's called that because you never know what's going to happen... sometimes you meet a great new friend and sometimes you can get someone totally crazy (kind of like a potluck dinner?).
