Attended the Bid Day festivities this year!
It was over 102 degrees outside!

My D is a member of Delta Zeta and they took over 100 pledges!
That is a huge pledge class and much work for the Pledge Chairman who according to my D is the best!

We also had a friend who was released early. I feel bad because we encouraged her to rush. Going in we were up front about her GPA but did not expect her to be totally cut after 2 nd round. According to her some girls were cut 1st round.

I know several girls in different houses and they said the house were very firm on GPA this year no wiggle room.

I just wish the Greek Life office would have had something for the girls to do that did get cut. Our new freshman girl who lives far away was basically alone for 3 days, While somewhere on campus there were 300 other girls in the same boat.

And I will make this suggestion to Greek Life but Gentry resigned this morning according to The school Newspaper. He is taking a new position at a school in FLA!

I wouldn't read into that. Greek groups "like" each other on facebook all the time.

If the school doesn't step up, you would think there would be a restaurant/bowling alley/other super happy fun time place off campus that would take advantage of what is basically a captive audience.

It's a good time for other activities on campus to have events. I wonder if they've even thought about that...

The only thing with this: Do you think it would help or hurt them to have an event put together for them (which kind of calls attention to the fact that they were cut.) I'd hate for it to turn into "we're supposed to be bowling but instead we're all sitting around being sad because we're not Greek."
