Auburn Recruitment Fall '08

[Just interested]

sr mom, Thank you. It is like you were reading my mind.

[NeverBeBarbie]

Oh no I was not meaning to bring any of you down- just reminding you of the real world.

Carry on.

I wanted to take a second to tell you two Auburn moms that I think it's great that you are involved in your daughter's lives, and in the capacity that you are.

Without going into too much details, my parents were virtually non-existent in my college life. I think it's great to be genuinely interested in your daughters' lives, yet allow them room to spread their wings. You are both good examples of supportive parents.

Kudos to you both for caring, and sharing. I am truly enjoying this thread!

I am on pins and needles here!!! AUmom08 and Auburnmom08, how are the daughters doing? I'm a little concerned that we haven't heard from AUmom08 this morning...I hope there is good news. Auburnmom08: Was your daughter happy with her parties? How many did she get invited back to?

[AUmom08]

Sorry, girls, I actually just got on the computer a few minutes ago, believe it or not. LOL I got a text from my daughter a little before 8:00 this morning. She was a little bummed out because she had been dropped from two of her top six, but she has a full slate of six parties (after getting two of the ones she "dropped" added back to her schedule). One drop caught her totally by surprise, I believe, because, if I'm not mistaken, that was one of the groups where the President and Recruitment Chair both came up to her and made her feel like they wanted her. I tried to tell her last night that that did not always translate to good news but that it did sound promising. Oh, well, what does this nonGreek mom know!! Anyway, I haven't heard from her since then, and I think she'll be just fine with the groups she still has -- two of which are very high on her favorites. Hopefully she'll call at lunch.

Thanks for all the support. This is all so new to us. What little I know about Greek life, I've learned by reading GC for the past few months.

So if I do the math correctly then your daughter was invited back to 3 of the 4 houses she had visited in the previous rounds, that is amazing news!

I'm really happy for your daughter. Though it is a disappointment to be dropped by houses that you like, there are 6 houses who really want your daughter! Every time you visit a house during rush you gain a new perspective on that house and it's members. Maybe the two that she dropped originally will shine for her today!

AUMom08 and AuburnMom08, sounds like your girls are hanging in there great and still have some good options to consider during skit round. Here's hoping they have a fantastic day and get a good snapshot of the chapters they are visiting today. As we have heard time and time again, groups that girls wished they could drop can suddenly become THE ONE, given a second or third look.

Srmom, you said it for me, too. I think all of us posting in this thread, including the very balanced moms, are well aware of the difference between a rush party and a war casulty. However, since this is Greek Chat, we are chatting about greeks.

Yea- Ditto!!!

I'm late to this party, but a big hug to all you moms. I think my daughters rush week at A&M was the longest week of my life. It is a very big deal when going through it and I think having a place like this to vent all your fears, joys and uncertainties is great. Now does anyone know of a place like this for the bar exam?
