Bama Sorority Recruitment 2010

[BSCAXOalum]

Well, I was going to hold out posting but I think I need moral support. Lost my old username so I registered. Have two PNMs in my life rushing--one at Bama, one at AU. The Bama PNM is a dear friend and the Auburn PNM is a cousin. Auburn PNM seems to be doing well. Bama PNM was only invited back to 4 today. She's handling it well but there's not much room for more cuts. I've had the "only takes one," "they're all good," talk to try to offer support. I think she's disappointed but I think she's realistic as well. Not great grades but should have met the cutoff on most. Will keep you all posted and am so proud of the other PNMs--it's a tough week!!!!

Oh man. It IS good that she has invites though.

My understanding with grades is that many PNMs have excellent grades. So it makes a PNM who just makes the cut off looks much less impressive.

Throwing some hugs your way!

This is a very tough time for so many people. It is not just the young ladies that feel it, but also mom/dad/siblings/extended family/friends etc. It is a long chain that the process takes its toll on. We can't all get what we want or hope to go where we want to go.

"It only takes one" and "they're all good" doesn't always work in every single case. The process does work, but not for everyone no matter how openminded young ladies are.

I hope there is happiness in the end for your pnms

Oh that is really hard for your Bama girl. As you mentioned it is likely based on GPA this early. Did she have recs to all the houses? Around 1640 went through ice water teas Monday and Tuesday and those numbers are so huge that cuts are just going to happen. I hope she has a good day today and tomorrow and she has an enjoyable skit day. I'm sure you are doing a great job keeping her spirits up. Just remind her not to "tent talk" about her parties, etc. etc. Keep us posted.
