She received a bid. She's giving it a chance. Definitely not where she saw herself but had a really nice time with her new chapter tonight. I'm proud of her. From what I see on the IU Parent FB page, not many women are willing to give certain chapters a chance. They'd rather suicide or drop. I'm proud that my daughter, while disappointed, is looking at this as a chance to meet a different group of women and get involved. I'm glad my daughter is one who is willing to give them a chance.

Your daughter sounds very mature, smart and like someone who will be an excellent member for her new chapter. I hope she sticks with it and finds a lot of happiness with her sisterhood.

I'm glad that she is giving the chapter a chance, and that she had a really nice time with them on Bid Day. Going and giving them a chance was a mature move on her part.

I hope that she continues to give them a chance. All the chapters at IU have wonderful women in them, and for the most part the Greek experience tends to be similar across different chapters.

Remember to remind her that these girls wanted her to be their sister and saw something special in her.

Hope it works out!

There is one chapter at IU that remains unhoused, which had well over 100 women in Spring 2018.

The one chapter that had fewer than 100 women now has a house.

Unless something has massively changed in one semester, your daughter should have at least one of these two.

I am glad to hear these young ladies did get bids, but sorry hear that it didn't turn out as they had originally hoped Our hearts break when theirs do, and we have to dig deep and find words to lift them up. I know you are loving them up and giving them comfort as us moms do. They are showing strength of character by rolling with it, and I hope that later they end up finding it the start of something wonderful. There are so many great stories on this site giving testimony to just such outcomes.

My misunderstanding. Based on the number in her pledge class I thought the number was lower.

Glad to hear she enjoyed the first night with her chapter. You should be very proud of her. To persevere through disappointment shows strength of character, maturity and strong self esteem, traits that are not universally shared. She will be meeting other women with those same admirable qualities. Best of luck as she begins this journey.
