I know how that is! Hope your daughter finds her Greek Home!

Daughter #3s Story….. Part 2

Fast forward to August 2006. Dad and I are helping Determined move into her dorm room on what had to be the hottest day so far that summer. She is thrilled with her dorm, her roommate, her classes and every other thing having to do with being at college. She and her roommate are already going up and down the hall and introducing themselves. It looks like a great group of girls! I am thrilled for her and once again for ME. She would be starting rush in a couple weeks. I had spent the summer (yet again) securing recs for all the chapters on campus. All summer, while Determined and I shopped for rush outfits, I tried to tell her that she may not want to go into rush with only 2 houses in mind or that she may change her mind once she got to school. Determined just smiles and listens politely. So with tears pouring down my face (I swear I still hate this empty nest thing), Dad and I drive away, leaving Determined to her first few days at college.

Next thing I know, Rush has begun. Determined enjoys the first round, but is still convinced she knows what she wants. She ranks the houses and the next day invites come back. Determined has been invited to the maximum number of houses and most importantly, her 2 pre-selected favorites. The next round is Skits. Determined has a great time. She ranks the houses that night and lists the same top 2. The next day, the news is still good. She’s been invited back to her 2 favorites and 3 more. Her opinion doesn’t change after Philanthropy and House Tours. She is still planning to join either ABC or XYZ. Invitations to pref night come out the next day. I am anxious waiting for her call. I know that if she gets her list and her top 2 are on it, she’ll end up the member of a GLO. The next day, when the call comes, I am ecstatic because there they are! Now all she has to do is attend the pref parties and rank the houses one last time. Unless, something goes VERY wrong, Determined will pledge a sorority in a few days!!!!

Wait a minute, I’ve been here before…….
