Mine is going through FSU next week with 2000# girls. Glad I am a teacher. That will keep me busy!

I have three PNMs from the Northeast and I can't wait for Saturday as well!

I was a hot mess. My husband left the house. Mine wasn't at Alabama, but her school was also SEC and had second largest recruitment last year. She was a transfer from out of the area, so that only made it more anxiety provoking. I drank. I made myself miserable. And I bawled like an idiot when she texted me she got her bid.

It's OK.....you're normal!

i get this!! i'm an agd alum from UA. this week has been the usual crazy, surprising, traumatic, exhilarating, up & down, emotionally draining experience for both the moms, pnm's & actives as it usually is. been living the ups and downs with my friends who have girls going through. i'm sure your daughter will be fine! keep us updated and wine is your friend

!

i get to do this next week with my youngest at kentucky...already nervous...

I have another going through at a smaller school next week, and she told me after what my first and I went through, she could not see herself going through recruitment if she went to Bama. It's definitely a lot less stress the second time around in a less competitive environment (but still exciting

).

I was so incredibly naive when DD went to Texas that I'd never have prepared her "properly" for rush there. I'm so glad she didn't show any interest. I know if rush had been even a fraction of what I read about here, I would not be greek today.

You are all so incredibly kind (and funny)

I'm sitting down to my glass of wine after long talk with DD - she put down her order for pref round! Tomorrow morning we find out that part. I know she is having a great time and the young women she is meeting are truly first rate!

Like some of you, this greek thing was an unknown to us but we called friends, looked here, and figured a bunch out. Thank goodness for you guys and all your advice!!! Thank you thank you thank you ladies and GreekChat!

A few more days....Wish I could be there but probably best I'm not

You "ARE" going for Squeal Day ... say, "I am going for Squeal Day" ... and then reassure me that you are going to Squeal Day!!!

Get there about an hour before the bids are opened in the stadium. Visit with friends and don't forget your camera!

I wish I could be there but we are 10 hours away. She wanted me there during the beginning to make sure she had everything in order and was all set up..so I had to leave her Monday! Bid is in hand and she is very happy just a little nervous. Would honestly be happy in any house she preffed but has a love crush on one in particular!
