2007 UGA Recruitment

[UGADad]

I am so sorry for the girls and families having a tough rush at UGA -- we feel so fortunate to have found this site "in time" to get the great advice from all the experts. We will keep our fingers crossed that all the girls find a college home where they can be happy and make the kinds of lifelong friends that we made in college.

Anyway, as for UGADaughter, maybe the old saying "Early to bed, early to rise" has some merit. She called at about 7:15 this morning and we heard the voice of a much more relaxed, much more well-rested girl who sounded very content with things. She thanked her mom for all the help and advice and then told her that she was attending 6 parties today and that she would be pleased and honored to be a new member of any of the six houses. They include all the sororities she ranked in her "top 5" and one of her "next two," so all the angst over the number 7 pick last night didn't matter. She said that she knows ranking them tonight will be very tough, but she feels very, very lucky to have that issue ahead of her. She really feels for the girls who are having a tough rush and said she knows that she is a very lucky girl.

The tent talk" is in full force at this point. She is trying not to pay attention to it, but one particular comment she keeps hearing about a sorority being on "social probation" for this whole year has gotten her attention.

Best of luck to all the young ladies at UGA today.
