please let me add my sympathies. i am so glad that you have a break with your recruitment and were able to go home-there truly is no place like home, especially in a trying time.
i hope that you receive the invitations you are hoping for!! wishing all the best for you.

Please know that there will be many women praying for you & your family concerning your father. I do urge you to say something, if there's an opportunity to say so - even an "I've received bad news from home, I'm excited to be here, but I'm also not my usual bubbly self." We had a PNM in a similar situation, and she later said that it was the moment when she knew which sororities were sisterhoods, not just a group of people living together.
Good luck with this next round - if you need a shoulder to cry on, just let us know.

I am so sorry to hear of your difficult situation. I lost my wonderful 33 year old aunt to breast cancer as I was going through rush (recruitment). I broke into tears at one house - who then cut me - but it is true that you get a good feeling for the true sisterhood of the groups. But I echo honeychile - do let them know what is going on. Don't make a big deal, just a mention of the situation.

I would also mention it to your Pi Chi (Rho Chi, Rho Gamma, Recruitment Counselor -- whatever your campus may call them) if you feel comfortable. They may be able to be supportive to you during this time.

agreed!! also agree with all the ladies who said to let your recruitment counselor know, too.

I'm sorry to hear about your father giving up his fight. One of my best friends lost her mother to ovarian cancer about 6-8 weeks after she accepted her bid to Alpha Delta Pi. We're from Maryland, and she goes to school in Alabama. She was so grateful for having a sisterhood to support her. My thoughts are with you and your family.
