Hope your daughter finds a home that makes her just as happy as it made me 15 years ago. Wish my dad was this involved when I went through rush.

Hi ladies, I just wanted to update what's going on. At this point my daughter found out that she was invited back to 9 houses. I know at least six of them and will find out for sure tonight. I will also try to make up 9 names to let you know how she feels about them etc. later tonight and tomorrow. However, for now I will give you a few details about what they were wearing etc regarding a few houses. I won't tell her opinions since you would know because of colors, etc. The Chi-O's had either orange or blue halters on with a like rock/rhinestone on them. Tri Delts had polo shirts on. She didn't remember the colors but thinks some were pink and some orange. the alphi Chi O's were wearing black tee shirts with red sash's. the alpha gams had pink polos, the kappa alpha thetas had blue or yellow tube tops gathered in the front and then tied around the neck, and the KD's had blue off the shoulder shirts. I told her to write more down, maybe she will. She was disappointed by only one that cut her so far, and I'm disappointed by three. What do I know anyway? I just hope that all works out well.

I hope she enjoys the houses she is going back to!

*Wishing her lots of luck*

Nine invites back is great - with the new release figures, some of the larger chapters are cutting a lot more PNMs earlier on in the process, so nine is a good manageable number for her.

I think it goes down to a max of 5 or 6 for Skit day, then 3 for Pref.

Just tell her to keep an open mind...and things will take care of themselves.

hooray for seminoledad's daughter. 9 is super and if she is only disappointed about not receiving one invite, then she must be pretty happy!!i hope she enjoys her 9 parties and has a lot of fun.

I don't know what's more exciting - the nine invitations or such a great dad!

Starlyte is a lucky girl to have such an involved dad. I'm impressed!!

You have to be the coolest dad...even remembering to ask about clothing? That is so cute!

Yay dad!

I had 9 invites for round 2 at UGA and I felt like it was a much less gigantic and scary number to choose from! I hope she's having fun finding the perfect home for her!

I hope everything goes smoothly with Rush as seeing as how TS Katrina is supposed to hit there soon.

I am watching Katrina closely and don't think it will get to the Tallahassee area until at least Monday afternoon. Can't remember which hurricane it was last year that went that direction but campus didn't close down for it. I know I was a nervous wreck thinking about my daughter walking on campus with all the big trees. I'm still Hurricane Ivan shy!

PenquinTrax (Barbara) what is your local news telling you about Katrina?

News here is saying it will come in weak along the east coast, and then cut across and dump out around Tampa. Projected path takes it out into the Gulf where it will strengthen and we'll probably see it on Monday, if at all. It's currently projected as coming here at around a #1.

I think Bid Day is going to be wet, but I doubt they will close campus. But really, anything could happen between now and then.

Last year they had to cancel part of Sigma Delta Tau's colonization events because of hurrican weather.

may things stay nothing but wonderful...
we're all pulling for you and your terrific dad.

Boy, I'm sorry that I havn't kept you informed about what has been going on with my daughter's rush. The first thing that happened was that my power supply and possibly hard drive were hit by a power surge and left the computer inoperable. It has been quite a week and I'll tell what I know. It is hard to get information from a girl that is in rush. I guess they are so busy. After Icy Waters, my daughter was invited back to 9 houses. On wednesday she visited 4. She had fun at all the houses but I think there was only one she really liked. I don't want to give details about what they were doing or wearing because it could possibly reveal their identity. I was a nervous wreck because I think my daughter may be too reserved to express herself really well when you have such short time constraints. I later found out how many pnm's the sororities had to cut in the first round. It seems brutal to me for both the existing and tha potentials. I'll post more but I wanted you to know that I am still alive.
