I got to Oxford yesterday and found my daughter having mixed emotions. She had great returns from philanthropy and was fortunate to have a full schedule for skits. Some of the friends in Martin are not faring as well and she is struggling with that. She says the Gamma Chi's are enthusiastically promoting ADPi and she said visiting them at philanthropy was a highlight for her and for many girls.
The gift giving? Don't get me started. Lilly Pad suggested I should spend $400-500 for bid day because that's what "everyone" will do. I had to politely not try to laugh and am totally regretting spending what I did. I found another store that had a smaller but really cute selection but they didn't do a mailer to parents so they weren't as well known. Hey moderator! Next year a great thread would be one that included names of stores and ideas for gift giving, especially around the south. There have to be other, more reasonable options out there. I truly feel that my daughter is having a successful rush; piling presents on everyday (many girls in Martin were getting gifts AND flowers everyday) is over kill. It reminds me of the grandparents that buy stacks of Christmas gifts so there are tons of presents to open. One really thoughtful, nice something would be better. <end of rant>.
The girls are in long lines to rank for pref and fingers crossed for all.
