To be fair, at my campus, the sorority GPAs were all really close to each other and you could easily have the highest one semester and the lowest the next. So Dora's rusher could have been off by a semester or something, and not necessarily lying on purpose. Not saying this is the truth, but a definite possibility. Not that it matters since this isn't live, but I thought I'd point it out.

Brittany had awkward conversations? How fitting

DAY 2

Dora had 6 invites: Rachel,Tina, Kurt, Mike, Brittany and Santana.

She was very happy to have 6, many of the girls in her TTX group had only 4 or 5. She did not know anyone with 8. I was sad to see Mercedes and Quinn not on her list because she had liked them so much. She said that she was going to concentrate on the chapters that wanted her and not lose sleep on the ones that didn't. I told her to look and Tina, Brittany and Santana with a fresh set of eyes.

TINA- She started her day here and she really enjoyed herself. They spent the whole time talking about football. (That's the SEC for you) Tina moved from the bottom to one of her new favorites.

RACHEL- She really liked them again today. She hopes to go back for round 3.

KURT- She spoke with the President again and was introduced to several people on the rush committee. They asked her if she really liked Kurt. She said she did.(no other house asked her this)

MIKE- Mike is still a favorite. She said conversations at all the houses were better today.

BRITTANY- Conversations were again awkward and they were trying too hard. She was really trying to find common ground with these girls, but it was not there.

SANTANA- She really enjoyed their skit. The girls were all very talented. She said at all the houses the President introduced the skits, but at Santana the President was in the skit.

Her opinions from favorite to least favorite:
Kurt
Mike
Rachel
Tina
Santana
Brittany

Skipping ahead to Prefs, because let's face it that is all anyone really cares about. They were to be notified by 10am on Saturday if they had no invites to Pref. I was a nervous wreck, but was trying to stay busy. At 9:50 am , I get a text.... my heart is racing, it says

"how do I wash my _________dress"( the dress she had worn to round 3). My heart starts beating again. Her top two choices for the day were Kurt and Rachel. I am pulling for Kurt, but have put on a pink/brown outfit to support Rachel if that is where she ends up.
After her visits, she texts me Kurt is the one and nothing the Rachel's could have said would have changed her mind. I had a very emotional moment, teared up and texted back "welcome to the sisterhood".

You see Kurt is her legacy chapter and she was guaranteed a bid if she was invited to Pref. So going into bid day she already knew where she would end up. She enjoyed her bid day. They went to the Zoo.
My daugher is now my sister. Kurt is Alpha Delta Pi. Our neighbor went KD and no word on where the other hometown girls ended up. Lots of Azure Blue/White items on their way along with a few Alphies. Congrats to all the new members!

How exciting! Very happy for you and your daughter!

thetygerlily · #53 08-23-2010, 12:50 PM

Aww, that is so exciting! Congratulations to your daughter, and to you. I loved your comment about how you had pink & brown ready to go just in case. That's exactly how I hope I will react someday!

atrianglepi, how wonderful that your recruitment story ended up as a happy legacy story, too! Congratulations to your daughter and to you as well. We hear so many sad legacy stories, especially in the SEC and at other competitive schools, it's really nice to know that sometimes, it turns out to be a great match. Thanks for sharing it.

LucyKKG · #55 08-23-2010, 02:42 PM

Aww congratulations!

CONGRATULATIONS! I love ADPi endings. Naturally.

And not to be a total blonde, but I just seriously just figured out your user name. "atrianglepi", my former roommate (also a sister) used to say that all the time, she'd be like "we're a triangle pi's" and at first I was like "I don't get it".

FYI there are some super cute items on giftmart right now.

congatulations to your daughter and to you!! i hope you plan on attending her initiation.

Congratulations to your daughter and ADPi! How exciting to be able to share your sisterhood with her!

Since this thread had turned in to a discussion on various diseases, I wanted to share that Dora did indeed get sick. They did not share any make-up, but her TTX group spent all of their time together in the holding area between parties. They all came down with the sniffles/a cold. She was pretty miserable on bid day. My advice to future PNM's, please get plenty of rest before recruitment. My daughter went into it with no sleep. She also missed many meals as the dining halls were closed by the time recruitment was over. A trip to the student Health Center is in her future.

Just wanted to update, Dora was initiated this weekend with my pin. I was not able to attend the ceremony. I made arrangements with the Pledge Educator(old terminology) for Dora to have my pin and when I got it out to give to the PE, I noticed that the enamel on the Delta had worn off. So it literally says A Triangle Pi. How ironic! I am thrilled that we will always have this bond. There is another daughter. Will she be an ADPi as well? Only time will tell.
