Well, they have to release her by then or she goes at the top of their bid list - as all legacies do that get to pref. I'd say it's not as strong a statement as if they had released her after the first day.

Her roomie's sister didn't do Rush this year. She had an internship in Colorado and is arriving today. Big reason I think. Plus the pics on instagram of her weed paraphenalia didn't help either I'm sure. Do they ever learn??

That'll do it.

My d also has three today and one is her #1. I will say she did not have any preconceived preferences until after first cut. As an out of state student With little connections i think this was a good attitude. She said she is a good fit and likes all three. She is a very happy young lady!

Congratulations! I hope she has a wonderful pref night.

And this is an example of something that will get you released at pref! Or just before....

UGAalum, good point. I can't really comment further without giving out too much information....

I know a situation in which a double in-house legacy was cut at the last minute. No one could bring themselves to tell the sisters that they wanted to cut her so they found out from a hysterical call from their sister. One quit immediately. The sister pledged another house and last I heard, was happy.

I don't know how you can bring this up delicately to a sorority member that you plan to cut her sister.

^^^^I've said for a long time that sister legacy issues are harder to deal with than moms. At least you don't have to be in the same room as mom right after you cut her daughter.

And in-house sister situations are truly the worst. I assume the PNM's sisters had to leave while they were discussing her but surely they were aware of the serious issues that must have led to her cutting.

Right. Even if you have the "what's talked about in here stays in here" rule, she's GOING to find out, and she's NOT going to be happy about it (even if this reasoning is valid like GPA, weed pics, etc.)

My daughter is in her third party now. She loved both of her first two and said she has no idea how to rank them. I told her to keep an open mind for sorority #3 and then follow her heart. It speaks really well of Auburn's system that these girls love all of their pref chapters.

Congratulations! That's wonderful.

Tomorrow will be so much fun!
