I know it's not very Panhellenic of me, but I did have to chuckle when I read that.

(Just a small giggle.)

Now, back to the "No matter the letter, we're all Greek together" mindset.

Well that's great, and thanks for taking time to actually post it.

Until this board's software can develop a better search engine, John should totally disable it and have a message saying "this search engine sucks, just do a Google search and save yourself a headache". Maybe we can convince him to do that.

I totally agree!!! On all the sticky threads that say "use the search function," it should be re-written to say, "use the google search function" and then shown how to add GC as the domain.

The first time I heard of Chi Omega I thought it was not a "real" sorority, but a rip off of Alpha Chi Omega. This is of course, BEFORE I was Greek. Hey, we don't have Chi Omega at my school.

Just talked at length to my daughter about the choices she made on her list. At Bama, they were able to list 7 and rank 4. This was a hard decision for her. She's been very involved in community service and this round of parties really "spoke" to her. She has really liked the past 2 days a lot. Here's her worry...(tops the list as of right now)... one of her dear friends from our hometown is rushing her this week. Their plilanthropy round wasn't as strong as she'd hoped it would be. She also got a girl this round that seemed to be wanting to do something else. Anything else other than talking to her! Anyway, my daughter said she was like the last one out of the room trying to figure it all out when she made her list. This topic dominated 75% of our conversation. I told her it'd all work out for the best. It just upsets me that she's worried about this in addition to all the other rush worries!!!!!!

Hang in there, uamomma! Everything will work out for the best. Bumps along the way are almost inevitable.

I've been following both the 'Bama thread and the Auburn thread avidly. I'm NOT being Panhellenic when I say...I was so thrilled to learn that both Alabama and Auburn would have new colonies this year! I'm not from the deep south, but oh my goodness, I know that recruitment there can be tough, tough, tough. How can anyone not have complete respect for Alpha Phi, and (at Auburn) Kappa Alpha Theta? Both are such strong national orgs. Some girls will not find their homes during recruitment, and instead of broken hearts, they may well be part of an exciting new opportunity.

Thanks. You're right. I just wish she felt better about her decision.

On my side of things, I am soooo nervous about tomorrows invites. This is worse than any of the J.V., Varsity tryouts all combined!!!!! Tomorrow (9:30 to be exact) can't come soon enough!
