I could not be happier for your daughter, clulessugamom! Red and buff roses for her. And alpha chi love from all of us red carnation girls.

PS extra hugs for you mama dawg. It's been a tough week but we made it through.

Has anyone heard PM where he is and how UGADaughter is?

Congrates to all our girls whose dreams were met tonight! My D called just about 6 pm and she is pledging ZTA.

She didn't SIP, but took good advise and put two choices down. However, her first choice was ZTA and she is SO Happy!

The conversation was very short b/c she was getting ready for her new sorority sisters to pick all the girls up and take them back to the house to have a big celebration. I was relieved and so excited to hear her good news.

My heart goes out to all your daughters who may not have had a similar experience today. Thank goodness these girls have wonderful Moms and Dads who are so loving and supportive.

Look forward to sharing all the memories that my D will build as a ZTA at UGA!

CONGRATULATIONS! I know that your daughter is a great addition to the ZTA nation!

Coming out of hibernation to say...yippee! And congratulations to your daughter, my new sister.

(Have had a long, rough summer, but I couldn't resist browsing a little tonight to see how the recruitment threads were going. It made my night to see that at least one of the girls in this thread went Alpha Gam.)

She only had one left when she dropped out and she new that the chances of pledging there were slim. I think she dropped just so as to avoid the humiliation of saying she was cut out.

I really am sorry that she had this result.

Let's cross our fingers for COB for her.

If this is a year in which they raise total, there might be a few openings later. Who can say for sure?

But by dropping out, she also hurt her chances at a snap bid. If she would have gotten as far as prefs and still not matched, she would have been eligible for a snap bid. Since she dropped, the chapters probably assumed she wasn't interested in membership. Hopefully there will be some COB options for her.

Very true.

If she liked the one group she had left, she should have stuck with it through prefs. (Even if she had mixed feelings about it, going to pref could have helped her make a decision...even if that decision was to not sign a bid card.)

At a competitive school, I'd imagine its an exceptionally rare situation where dropping out of rush completely would still lead to a bid on Bid Day.

Hopefully things work out for her through COB. (If she's interested in any of the groups who will be participating, of course.)




(Those of you who have seen my retro recruitment thread know that I dropped out of rush and ended up with bid options soon afterwards, BUT...my campus wasn't super competitive and I did not get to participate in Bid Day. Even at my non-competitive campus, it would be exceptionally rare for someone to drop out and still participate in Bid Day.)

My son's good friend pledged Kappa at UGA!!

Will update later on today or tonight (probably once I get to the Los Angeles Area). Gotta go pack!

My daughter has finished rush at UGA. She pledged Pi Beta Phi and is very happy. Another friend also pledged Pi Phi, another Alpha Gam, and ADPi. They are all thrilled and feel very fortunate to have such a wonderful rush experience. After reading all the unhappy stories I feel blessed that my daughter and her friends have found a home,

[hollywin]

I know now that this is very true. The one sorority that she had left led her to believe that she would not get a bid from them as they usually try and take girls of a certain religious preference. Unfortunately she was not told that by dropping out she would hurt her chances of a snap bid. I wish the rush advisors had done a better job at that. There were many girls who dropped out.

hollywin - thank you for clarifying, I couldn't figure out from your previous post if your D didn't like the sorority or vice versa or what the deal was.
