Indiana University 2014 Recruitment

[Mom64]

Daughter says it is "carnage" in her dorm. No rhyme or reason as to who got bids and who didn't. One of her friends is a beautiful, caring, smart (4.0), involved student and came out with nothing. She is just one of MANY.

My daughter is throwing around a number that approximately 300 PNMs who attended 3 party received no bids. She thinks they may have invited more PNMs to the final party because of combining the 14 and 8 parties. Anyone have confirmation??

I do have a happy report -- my sophomore daughter got a bid. Very nice news since she did not get a bid her freshman year.

At this point is impossible to know a final number as chapters will continue to snap bid today and over the next several days to replace PC members who declined bids

My daughter got a bid. Twelve girls on her floor rushed, four got bids. She got her second choice. Her roommate also attended that preference party. My daughter got the bid from the sorority that her roommate desperately wanted. Her roommate (both from the same hometown, friends before being roomies) got nothing. My older daughter got nothing two years ago. There is no joy in it for my daughter. I talked with her and she was crying hysterically. Maybe joy will come later. Doesn't even want to go to the sorority house tonight.

I was in the same situation as your daughter. I walked out of the dorm with my sisters to see my best friend crying in the tv room. I felt guilty, but there is a reason the sorority picked your daughter and not her friend. She can't let guilt or loyalty keep her from this opportunity. She may even end up helping her friend to get a bid in the future.

If I recall correctly snap bids can only be issued for 24 hours? Then it becomes COR/COB and that may be delayed until after the DPhiE colonization. That's how it usually works on campuses when there is a colonization right after formal recruitment. Can anyone local provide information here?
