If your daughter does not get a bid, and I sincerely hope that she does, take her away from campus for a couple of hours. The area around sorority row, especially at Tutwiler, is not one she would want to see. It would only make her hurt more.
My daughter spoke with me earlier today and was upset because she was cut from several sororities that she really liked but she did get invited back to 8. I know nothing about rush so this could be terrible or expected but my daughter was upset. I am somewhat surprised but I know things are tough at Bama and being from Tenn. and not knowing anyone probably hurt her. Well I am sure she will keep a positve attitude and make the best out of her opportunity.

If anyone has any idea if 8 invites at Bama is good, bad or average fill me in and please be honest.
Having 8 invites is better than 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, or NONE. Remember that there are girls who have it worse off than she is.
She'll have 8 houses to visit, so hopefully she'll have a great time despite being cut by her favorites. Good to know that she'll make the best of her situation.
I posted this in the Auburn thread but I thought it would be helpful if I posted it again here.
To all the worried mommies/daddies in the thread:
I think it's worth pointing out that while it's great to have a full schedule of invites, not everyone is going to have that. If your daughter happens to get less than the max number of invites everyday, try not to panic too much, because in the end, she can only get one bid (no matter how full of a schedule she has everyday).
In my opinion, this is something worth mentioning to your daughters, should any of them be upset by their invite list at some point.

I don't know much about Rush either but this morning when my daughter told me how many sororities she was invited back to, one happened to be one that was on her bottom three. After today's Philanthropy Day with them she loved them! So it really pays to keep an open mind
