Anyway, I would think/hope BamaDad wouldn't be making such distinctions on GC as someone was exceptionally rude to him previously regarding tiers and such.

I remember, but I do have a very good feeling that this is EXACTLY what he is talking about.

Stepping out of my Pollyanna costume, I do too, and quite frankly, it kind of pisses me off.

I'm trying this "give people the benefit of the doubt" thing out. It includes watching Celebrity Rehab and not defriending people on Facebook whose every post says Obama = Satan because they both have 2 A's in their name.

I have the same problem...only I actually had someone send me this crazy Youtube video about how Jesus actually told us the name of the antichrist- Barak Obama. It is totally insane!

As with my daughter at Alabama, there is always talk about sorority "rank" or popularity on campus, fair or not. When I spoke with my Ohio State daughter today, she didn't say she rejected #3 because they were unpopular in comparison to other sororities. My impression was that she simply likes Delta Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta way above #3, who consistently ranked last or near the bottom of her list. At no time during our conversation did she say that #3 was unpopular or "ranked" low on campus. Sorority #3 may, in fact, be a "popular" house on campus. I don't know.

She has two close friends in recruitment. Lets call them ABC and XYZ.

ABC had two selections available on Preference Day: Kappa Delta and #2, a sorority she always ranked last during elimination rounds. ABC named only Kappa Delta at the end of Preference Day.

XYZ had Delta Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta and #3 (it may have been a different #3), like my daughter, as her options on Preference Day. XYZ similarly rejected #3 as an option following Preference Day.

As of 2:00 PM EST, none of the girls received the dreaded call signifying they would not receive a bid. Hopefully, they are past that point.

At 2:45 PM EST, they are supposed to meet with the recruitment organizers.

I don't doubt that those are your daughter's words and not yours, but I still believe that they indicate #3 is a weak chapter. We hear this with just about every recruitment story that comes through Greekchat so unless you want to out Group #3, excuse me if I don't believe that #3 is the most popular group that your daughter just decided she couldn't be a part of no matter what.

P.S. Glad your daughter at Bama has done so well. I was really disgusted at how terribly you were treated over her affiliation.
