An SEC rush

southernyankee · #1 08-20-2006, 12:49 PM

Thanks for all the good wishes! My daughter did enjoy both parties, and liked Panthers even more after pref. Her favorite is still the Giants, but would be happy with either! She said the girls made her feel very welcome and wanted...but she has felt that way before during this long week and then got cut! She feels her radar is off right now, so is just hoping for the best!

If she doesn't get a bid...she should hear by 1pm. If she does...bids are being handed out after 5pm.

Best of luck to your daughter! And kudos to you and her for your great attitudes this whole week!

My daughter thought they had until 2:30 PM CST to make the dreaded call. I hope she is wrong and southernyankee is on target. Best of luck again, southernyankee!

Well.....no dreaded phone call!!! We have a bid!

Bamadad, thank goodness I didn't get back on the computer and see your post about 2:30! I don't think my stomach could have taken that extra hour and a half! My daughter thought it was 1pm, but whichever...it in now almost 4pm, so I think we are safe! What a relief.

Is still anxious about which one she got...but is more for the fun of it now! Will love either one. Oh...and Bamadad...one of the two that my daughter has is one of the ones your daughter has! They could be sorority sisters!!!

Thanks again for all the good wishes...I will let you know the outcome when she remembers to call her parents in all the excitement!

P.S. My daughter called us at 12:30 to ask a question about doing laundry...and her dad and I almost had a heart attack thinking it was "the call"!

I just knew it...I am so happy for your daughter.

Job well done, southernyankee!

I am very happy for you and your daughter and I'm equally impressed that she's happy no matter which one she gets a bid from (although I'll bet she's hoping a tiny bit more for one over the other). That shows a great maturity and open-mindedness that a few more PNMs could use!

I remember when my daughter when through and they brought her rho chi group together before bid distribution. She called to tell me that they had pulled 5 girls in to tell them they had not received any bid...and she wasn't one of the 5! It was as big a relief as I've ever had knowing she had her bid.

I cannot wait to see where she ends up!

LOL! My oldest got her bid and dashed off to the sorority house *without calling*! I was coming apart wondering if she was off upset somewhere and her dad finally suggested calling her top choice house and asking if there was a new member there by that name. Thank the Lord there was, I don't know how I would have played that one off!

Congratulations, all you Bama parents!

I can't wait to see where she goes, SouthernYankee!!
