I'm so impatient. I want a Fall 2008 recruitment story! I suppose I'll give everyone a few days though...

I was at a birthday party for one of my friends last night and got to talking to a whole bunch of nervous mommies!!! All of their daughters leave in the next week or so for rush! Most to Texas schools, but a few out of staters including Georgia, Alabama, and one to Florida. There are girls from our local hs currently at Georgia and Alabama, so these moms feel a little bit assured that their girls will, at least, have a fair shot, but the girl going to Florida is ON HER OWN!!! Brave!!!
It was fun to listen to them talking about clothes and rounds and such. I'll let y'all know results when I hear, and if I get any good details, I'll pass them along.

Hang in there PhiMu88! This is one of the toughest weeks for a mom! Not knowing what is going on is so hard! With cellphones, IM, etc people are in instant contact with each other these days. Then along comes recruitment and we are thrown back to the dark ages when all we had were the dorm phones and talked to home once a week or so! It is hard to adjust...
Keep us posted on her results!

dorm phones hahaha I remember those! Funny how much things have changed so quickly...
well I got a quick call ... she got invited back to her top 5 choices!! Tomorrow is skit and she has to choose 4 houses. She is confused and doesnt know who to cut out. She said she would try to figure it all out and really think about how she felt at each house. Today seriously felt like one of the longest days of my life! Tomorrow will probably be worse. I have my usual 3 pm tee time though so that may help! I will keep ya'll posted. One of her best friends was cut from 2 sororities today... one being Phi Mu ughhh ... I just dont want her to cut Phi Mu thinking that she and her friend have to join the same sorority. I dont care if she doesnt want to join Phi Mu for her own reasons, but not for something like that...
Momof3 ... it sounds like our girls might both be at the same school, they certainly are on the same schedule and even have the same numbers to choose and cut hmmmmmm ....

Do I need to be a Statistician to figure this out? 1st let me say I hope I don't do or say anything on here to embarass my daughter. I have so many questions about what is going on. Can someone help me do the math? She is at Rush right now. She had to choose 5 out of 7 sororities that she wanted to go back to today. I don't have any idea if those same 5 would invite her to come back. This no cell phone rule is KILLING me because I usually talk to her 50 times a day, and of course she usually comes home at night. Can anyone tell me a little more about what happens next? She would never tell me anything that she is not supposed to tell so any clues from you all would be great.

There are no guarantees during recruitment, so the 5 GLOs your daughter chooses as the ones she wants to go back to may not be the ones she is invited back to (and it's possible for her to not get any invitations, but we hope that doesn't happen!).

Momof3,
First, Recruitment is a mutual selection, and as MSKKG said, there are no guarantees.
Second, if you are use to talking to your daughter 50 times a day, someone needs a hobby.
Thirdly, the number of parties and details change by campus.
Fourthly, the search function is your friend on GC.
Lastly, be there to support your daughter, but don't live vicariously. Take a deep breath, pour yourself a glass of wine and turn on the Olympics, because at this point, recruitment is out of your control. As you said, you don't want to embarrass your daughter.

OK, I know this won't make Jill's list, but I was excited to hear from some friends of my daughter (I'll call her BabyFlamingo) who are at Oklahoma State. Today was bid day. 3 of her friends went ZTA, one went Gamma Phi, and one went KKG. BabyFlamingo will be participating in recruitment at another university later this month. I will start a thread for her when things are under way. By the way, quota at OState was 48.

Congratulations to Baby Flamingo's friends. I'm tickled about the Gamma Phi especially.
