Bama Sorority Recruitment 2010

[mikewozowski]

i understand that the max is 7, so the 11 party girl will probably just go down to 7.

what about the girl who only had 7 or 8 parties for today and tomorrow. how many would she likely be invited to for the next round? 3? 4?

i haven't followed this in the past, so i have no idea what the norm is.

what is a courtesy return invite?

A courtesy return invite is an invitation that might be extended to a girl because her mother or sister is in the group or maybe other relationships to members in the group. Some groups policies require certain girls to be invited to at least one invitational round, which here would be philanthropy. After that, the group may release her if they aren't really interested in offering her membership.

I don't think there's any formula you can use to guess about invites from round to round because groups make their big releases at different rounds. It's possible that a girl with only four invites could be invited back to all four* for the rest of recruitment. Or it's also possible that as those four groups make releases, she could gradually be cut over time. The best plan is just to see it through and try to like the places you are invited back to.

*ETA: well I mean those four might not cut her; she could only get invites to the maximum number of pref parties which is fewer than four. sorry.

The thing is, there really is not a "norm". She should get back invitations to skit, but it could be to her top houses or bottom houses or some combo in between. The sororities make their cuts as do the PNMs. It is definitely a put your best foot forward, keep smiling, and be confident kind of week. GOOD LUCK!

I heard earlier this afternoon from my aunt that my cousin's daughter got 11 invitations back for Philanthropy Day :-) She's having so much fun & other than sore feet she had no complaints. I think all PNM's are actually getting use to the terrible T-town heat. I've been told they have plenty of water available & that's good because we didn't have any back in my day & it was sweltering!!

Good Luck to the PNM's & those mama's...please keep us posted...I just love reading how everyone is doing & look forward to hearing happy Bid Day stories!!!
