Do not be worried or surprised.
Sorority recruitment is MUCH LONGER for current members than it is for PNMs.
As an active, we had the parties all day, then we had maybe an hour to grab dinner before heading to Membership Selection and such, which depending on the day can take FOREVER.
We also were not permitted to use our phones during any of this time (because you can't get anything done with 60 girls on their phones).
There were days where I didn't SEE my bed before 2 AM.
So if you don't hear from your kids, don't be worried, they're probably just tired

Which is why deferred or delayed recruitments on this scale blow my mind.

Yeah, it's pretty bad. Our recruitment was spread out for the first three weeks of school, under the guise of giving us more time to study and accounting for religious holidays. Ha! It was a nightmare and we spent much of the semester catching up.

Agreed. I wish we could just get it done before classes begin, either during summer or winter break... but alas, no. At least ours is only a week long, not three!

We're not allowed to leave or speak to anyone between the end of the last party and MSS, and no one leaves until voting is done... a dinner break would have been fantastic!

When I say dinner break, it's more like "You have 20 minutes to change out of your party outfit, go get food, and be back here in the chapter room." LOL.

Weather for tomorrow:
Wednesday
8/12/2009
Hi: 88°
Thunderstorms likely. Highs in the mid 80s. Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 70 percent.
Lo: 69°
Mostly cloudy. Chance of thunderstorms in the evening...decreasing in coverage after midnight. Lows in the upper 60s. West winds around 5 mph in the evening then becoming light. Chance of rain 40 percent.
So far it has been beastly hot and humid but the rain has passed north of Auburn. There have been no computer glitches so far this year and everything is running very smoothly. Today was a good day for most of the PNM's, not too much emotional stress for the Pi Chi's to deal with just yet. Tomorrow is a short day so everyone will have an opportunity to recharge their batteries!

My daughter said that the rain threatened all day, but held off during the parties. Her feet are killing her! Thank goodness there's only two more days.

I could be mistaken but I believe schedules will be given out between between 9 and 10 am. Don't quote me on this, some of the PNM mom's will know better than me.
