I'll agree to pink, but gotta love my brown!

eta - and it's almost midnight now - surely the call would have come by now if it was to come .

eta - drat, drat, drat. I must go to sleep - but I'm hoping for really great news for you, UGAMom.

Me too, obviously. I was just at the house now and we're all REALLY excited. and tired. it's really hard to imagine classes starting in a few hours.

I am also anxious to hear results - my daughter's house has had a great rush, but I am sad because so many of her friends going through have been cut out early in the process - not what I have been used to in years past. The gamma chi I talked to yesterday said drops and cuts were high this year. Hope they aren't all working for the same group of girls

That's what we're hoping for UGAMomof4! No news - good news?

Me too! I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear something about the results. My chapter has been working so hard the last few years and the work is really starting to pay off( See: last year!). It stinks being 8 hours from Athens so I'm having to rely on word of mouth to hear anything!!

I know I can't expect to go to bed anytime soon....DD is texting updates!

If you feel so inclined, I'd love a PM to get some info on my chapter!

Edit: Here's an article from today's Red and Black, but it isn't very informational....apparently there was a slight rise in PNMs registered this year.

I lived in that house for a couple of years, too. About rush, I heard a couple of sororities cut half after round one. That is strong. My pnm source is from out of state, too. And, has seen alot of girls cut. It seems a girl must have an inside contact/friend in order to be noticed. Best of luck.

Aww, Soup!
I was thinking the same thing.

axoalum · #10 08-18-2008, 09:59 AM

UGAMom, Where are you? Is no news good news? I am so nervous I am wringing my hands. Let us know soon!

UGAALUM · #11 08-18-2008, 10:17 AM

Does anyone know quota at UGA?

BBelleADPi · #12 08-18-2008, 12:16 PM

I posted about my rec girl this year at UGA ( I only had one this year, strange) in the SEC thread, but I'll post here as well, and give a little more information, now that voting is over.

This girl is a direct legacy to:

Delta Zeta (grandmother)
Delta Delta Delta (mother, UGA)
Zeta Tau Alpha (sister)

She had an amazing rush. I listed yesterday that she was able to pref at three sororities, but didn't list them. I just said instead that they are all awesome, and she can't go wrong at any of them.

They are:

Zeta Tau Alpha
Alpha Chi Omega
Gamma Phi Beta

The girls from this area, for the last five years or so, have ended up in these three sororities as well as Pi Beta Phi and Delta Gamma. These are all just fabulous chapters at Georgia, and I hope we continue the home town advantage for awhile, in case my youngest daughter ends up going to UGA!

By the way, it's interesting that there are some UGA Alpha Chi Omegas posting in this thread, because I was going to post that I do love the pictures that UGA AXO always take of their new members. They take some photos where the girls are looking out of the house windows (I assume it's the living room) and on the staircase. They are always such beautiful girls, and very classy.

UGAMom: I do hope you'll have some wonderful news to report about your daughter.

BAMA2 · #13 08-18-2008, 01:00 PM

My daughter just went through rush at Alabama and I do believe that the time right before they received their bids was the WORST! My daughter was fortunate enough to have several really good options after prefs but she really had her heart set on one. It worked out for her and it looks like your daughter is going to be a new pledge tonite too! Please keep us posted!

AuburnMom08 · #14 08-18-2008, 01:40 PM

I agree that number seems way too high to be true.

BAMA2 · #15 08-18-2008, 01:42 PM

That number does seem really high. I think Alabama lost 500 out of 1600 by the time it was all said and done. I think her Gamma Chi would definitely have called but I understand the paranoia. It never seems real until you have that bid card in your hand!
