I just have to get in this! I found greekchat in August when I googled on "release figures." At the time SouthernYankee and BamaDadDz were posting their stories about Alabama's rush--I have a DDD daughter who graduated Bama in 2005 and my younger child had several good friends going through rush there and I got hooked on this site! My younger daughter (I'll call her Baby Bird) was getting ready to go off to Ole Miss and was rushing-- since we are not from Mississippi and don't really know that many people I was a nervous wreck. Add to that surgery in early September that left me housebound for many weeks and you people became my best friends. The good news is that Baby Bird had a wonderful rush at Ole Miss and while she was a DDD legacy through her sister and a KD legacy through me, she did what was best for her and is now a very excited member of Chi Omega! One thing she kept saying throughout rush was that all the chapters have wonderful girls. I was a little undone by the delayed rush thing--after all, that is not how we do it in Alabama--but there are some very definite positives to doing it this way. Anyway, I just want to thank you all for providing me many hours of entertainment these past 6 weeks--and I thought I was the only one who loved rush....:-)

Welcome to GC! You fit right in with the people who love recruitment and stories. There's even an addicts thread for the dry spells.

Panhellenic families are fun too! Welcome, Baby Bird, to Chi Omega!

And we ARE Panhellenic! DDD and XO daughters, KD, AOPi, and Phi Mu nieces, plus one "step" niece who went Phi Mu at Ole Miss on Sunday. I am looking forward to a granddaughter or two who will automatically be a legacy to 2 great groups!

Just wanted to let you I was still around - in fact I never left. As part of the GC group, I always peek in every other day or so. I continue to learn the unique ways of DZ at the University of Alabama. What a great bunch they have there! I met several DZs at their beautiful sorority house while attending a Bama football game - I thought I had died and gone to heaven there were so many lovely angels surrounding me.....

In any event, know that BamaDad DZ is still hovering and posting a thought here and there.

Well, BamaDad, you will have to know that I went through Kristen's rush with you and nearly broke my neck to get to my computer on Bid Day! Baby Bird had her little beak in Bama's rush way more than she should have because she has a ton of friends there, on both sides! I was really impressed that a Dad was so supportive! I hope Kristen is having a ball! Just beware: Tuscaloosa time and the rest of the world are not the same...My BamaGrad daughter still laughs about people who live on "Tuscaloosa Time" as opposed to old working women who have to live on "Real Time!"
