I'll make a public service announcement. H1N1 is killed by Hibiclens. Go to your drug store and pick up a bottle. If you wash your hands once a day it will keep you protected from transmitting the disease from your hands to your month, eyes, nose ect....It will not protect you if someone sneezes or coughs in your face, but it will protect you shaking all those hands with bugs on them during recruitment.

Yep, I keep telling my daughter to be prepared for some rejection tonight when the next round of cuts is made.

Luckily, she didn't go into this with her heart set on any particular sorority. Of course, after going through 2 rounds, she now has a few favorites and a few that she doesn't feel are for her. I can tell from her voice that she's starting to get tired...still excited, but tired.

Oh well....the waiting continues.

I wonder if these two daughters will be bid by the same house?!

I wish them the best!

Does anyone know how many girls are going thru recruitment this week and what quota might be? I know LSU has 11 sororities on campus.

Thanks for all your support. It has been a roller coaster of a week. She was invieted back to two pref parties. One sorority that she loves and it has been in her top all week and one that has been in the bottom all week. She planned on cutting it but did not have the opportunity. Now this sorority that she does not like is mine!!!! I did not expect her to bid it because I know it was not a fit for her. She will not list this sorority on her list so that means that she is going to suicide. I have told her the cons of this but in the end she says she does not to be obligated to this sorority for a year. She mentioned spring recruitment but the only ones doing spring are usually the ones that she was not crazy about. This is not a tier thing, she just did not like the girls and felt very uncomfortable with the sorority. In the end this is her decision and she seems to accept it. We are still holding out hope and saying many prayers that she will get her first and only choice. She will get a call tonight between 12 and 1 if she does not get a bid. So it will be a very long night for me. What ever happens I will be going to Baton Rouge tomorrow to celebrate or give hugs.

Well, the pref card is signed and today is bid day. She seriously considered dropping yesterday, but decided to go to the Pref parties. Boy, is she glad she did.

She really, really has come to love the sorority she has chosen as no. 1, even though it may not be considered one of the more "popular" sororities on campus. She loves that the girls are all so real and laid back. Said she feels like she can completely be herself with them.

As I told her, things happen for a reason and if this is where she's meant to be, then it'll happen.

Now we're just sitting back and keeping our fingers crossed that she gets her no. 1 pick.

Counting the hours until 4pm today.

Tootiepie, I believe the girls get a call between 9 and 11 am, if they don't receive a bid. I hope your daughter gets what she's hoping for!!!!
