Pref round is supposed to be a dressier outfit. Something you would wear to a wedding. I wouldn't advise a sundress for this round.

Depends. She will probably feel a bit awkward if she gets to her first party and feels underdressed, but it's not like chapters are going to go back and remove her from their bid lists over it.

I spoke to my daughter again and she said that her gamma chi felt her dress was too dressy and looked through her closet and picked this one. She also sent the picture to some of the other gamma chis who agreed she should wear the more casual one. I am sure they know what they are doing and I need to leave it up to the experts.

What a nice Gamma Chi! If she approved and then ran it by some of her Gamma Chi friends it must have been the right choice.

The gamma chi got this right. She will be fine. The houses aren't going to be swayed at this point.

NO nothing yet.

I am so sorry. I know you are on pins and needles. Hopefully she is just so busy having a great time that she forgot to call.
Praying you hear from her soon.

That's what I'm hoping. I've decided that if it was really bad then I would have heard by now. Staying positive. Thanks.

Kidding of course on that last point.

So true!

"Girls from New York , they are tough. And girls from Georgia , they are sweet. But those born and bred feisty Kentucky girls, they are the ones you have to look out for. We have sugar and fire in our blood. We can ride a horse, be a debutante, throw a left hook and tell you the entire UK line up all while making sweet tea. And if we have an opinion, you get to know it. We're both the pride and the downfall of the bluegrass." -- Miss Ashley Judd, University of Kentucky graduate and member of Kappa Kappa Gamma (Beta Chi)

Yeah she finally called!!!! She didn't understand why I thought she would call before she turned in her bid card. LOL I guess those are the rules and I didn't know them. She got her 1, 3 and 4 and had a wonderful time at all the parties. She said she would be happy to call any of them her home. Whew I can relax for a little bit now. Thank you all for the support today.

Good luck to all the girls for a happy day tomorrow.

Sorry moms that you aren't hearing. The girls are in their parties now and will go directly to the computer to submit their preference. The Gamma Chi's try hard to keep them off the phone today and tonight. The houses have until
Midnight if memory serves me, to submit their list. If the dreaded call comes, it comes late. Some girls sneak a call or text. I'd say no news is good news.

UKmom..Im soo glad you heard from her..I have been checking back all day.. here's hoping for a happpy ending for everyone!!

[nervousmom]

I just heard from my daughter. She is very happy. Her Gamma Chi was laughing at her because she took so long too decide on her 1 and 2 houses. She loves them both equally and will be very happy with either one. She is satisfied with her 3rd choice but doesn't absolutely love them like the other two. Hopefully she will get one of the first 2 houses. It will be a long day of waiting tomorrow. We have to hurry up and get this over with. The suspense and anxiety is killing my diet.
Hope all of the girls will be very happy tomorrow. Good luck.

Tomorrow will be special - enjoy it!
