So I know a little bit of what to expect and how to give encouragement and support.

Our daughter is a freshman living in Brumby. She has met so many wonderful young ladies all at this point are going through Rush. Saturday and Sunday was fun, exciting and very tiring. We drove back through Athens Sunday night to have dinner with her. She was exhausted! She was happy about the houses and the girls that she had met.

We wait anxiously to hear about her day today. So, updates to come.

Good luck to all the young ladies going through Rush at UGA.

UGADaughter is also in Brumby, and she thinks it is great that all those freshman girls can be in the dorm together sharing experiences and making new friends. But NonUGASon, who helped us move UGADaughter in on Friday, was the most impressed with Brumby. He had quite an enjoyable day on Friday -- helping little sister has never been so much fun for him!

All of my daughter's friends are in Brumby, too. I put it in another thread, but her very best friend and very close friend (they're roommates) both got 12 invites; another friend got 10; another friend got 6 and two others got 3. (Haven't heard about the two sophs trying again).

Keep your fingers crossed, I have a couple of posts in that thread you read about last year that discusses the disappointing rush the girls from our HS experienced. I'm hoping for better turnout this year.

I'll bet nonUGASon enjoyed helping little sister moving into Brumby and checking out all her new classmates

My daughter is also going through rush at UGA - got invited back to 12 today, but her best friend only got invited to six. Two of the houses she had multiple recs for did not invite her back, but the ones she liked best are still on her list. She is a legacy, and I am also wondering if it is still true that if a legacy comes to prefs they are automatically on the first list. Does this vary from one GLO to another.

I think it varies, but the legacy member could easily review the policy maybe on the national website, I think.

Knowing that someone with multiple recs didn't get a call back helps me feel a little better about no recs.

Tried to get some today but had no luck with getting fax numbers or even active phone numbers online. Plus I have not said anything to my daughter about this as someone advised me to not add more stress at this time ...and she's the one who knows who offered her recs. I was really not very involved with all of this until this week.

I have not spoken with her since right before her last party around 5:00 but she has such an open mind about all of this! Not knowing very much about Greek life prior she had no pre-conceived "wishes" and she told me today that she really liked one that she had initially ruled out. So we'll see! I do know that at the end of Day 1 even as hot as it was she said she definitely wants to be a part of Greek life!

I've got my fingers crossed for everyone to be happy in the end!

Shadden,

You're not likely to get an answer on the legacy rules for each sorority. Membership decisions are private and not discussed on GC. You'll find that legacy considerations vary widely by sorority and chapter.
