My last year there was the first year they did this...That year we were able to pledge 3 upperclassmen in addition to our freshman quota. I think it is GREAT for for older girls involved!

It's great because previously, they pretty much just didn't get bids.

Man! I am just finding out about all sorts of people from my past during this recruitment season.

Apparently a girl I went to HS with is currently an ADPi at Bama!

Good luck to all the girls out there, looking forward to the bid-day results.

How many PNMs have been totally dropped for one reason or another - either no invites back or decided not to go through with it? My daughter is still holding up well, although I am not. She was finally dropped by the two more "elite/Old Row" sororities that I couldn't imagine her pledging, and by her second choice house. That leaves her with invites to Skit Day at her first choice, third choice, and one she previously expressed little interest in. She really thought she was doing well at Choice #2, and was surprised to be dropped. If she is invited back to all three for tomorrow, should she list all three on her bid card and hope for the best, risking disappointment if she is matched with #3, or only list 1 and 2, still hoping for the best? I am no help here.

If she would rather stab her eye out with a fork and burst into flames than be in number 3, she shouldn't list them.

But tell her to give them one more chance tomorrow before she makes that decision. It could be third choice or not being Greek at all (although I hope that's not the case).

There are girls on here who haven't liked a group at all through rush, and then got to Pref and, if not fell in love with them, decided there was more to them than they thought. Only she can decide.

Yup. She should at least take a closer look at #3. She could have been discounting them all along in favor of other groups. She now has to consider her choices at present.

Does anyone know what time the PNMs find out who they were invited back to for serious night tomorrow?? Any word on how it's going? I still have not heard a peep.
