Maybe they were worried what her daddy would do if they didn't take his little Meadow Soprano!

I'm so glad someone else thought that, too, when they heard "waste management"!

I'm really enjoying the thread, and am so excited that it's a school with a Gamma Phi!

And I agree with JessSigKap, 9/12 at UGA sounds good to me!

Oh, and an interesting note I have to make for any UGA PNMs who may be reading my thread: I got asked back to 9 out of 18 houses (12 possible) for round two and that's not all that bad at all, especially since I still had most of my round one favorites. BUT I got cut by every house at which I had not secured a rec prior to recruitment. I went in clueless and had no idea, but for the millionth time that it's been posted on GC, you've got to have recs if you are going to UGA.

Did you rank after each round and get a schedule generated for you or did you get your invites in between rounds and then decide where you want to go if you were invited by more chapters than the number of parties for the next round?

At UGA, it's "mutual selection," meaning that the girls rank the chapters and the chapters make selections and the girls receive a schedule based on the results thereof. I don't remember whether we had to attend all of the parties on our schedules after round one (I did anyway; I thought it was just rude not to go). I think the idea is that if a girl gets invited to, for instance, 8 parties and can only attend 6, she will want to attend the houses she ranked highest that have invited her back. The best part of this system for me was that it eliminated time back at the dorm with girls telling me what I ought to do... since I didn't know a lot about rush I was very impressionable and they might have convinced me to make decisions differently than I did.

Can we know which chapters are out of the running?
