I think you should probably go through rush and get a bid before you think about moving into a sorority house. Even if you're going to be a sophomore, I don't believe the sororities allow the new members to move into the houses before they're initiated.

Are you going to a community college to save $ your freshman year or what?

The only house at Alabama I know anything about is the Tridelt house, since both of my girls were there last year. My oldest got to move in her junior year because she had an officer position. She lived there her senior year also. She graduated this past May.

Like her older sister, my younger daughter is renting a house off campus with four of her sorority sisters for her sophomore year. Time will tell if she gets to move into the house.

I do know that my neice (who graduated in May also), never lived in the ZTA house, but I have no information on why that may have been.

Daily Updates

For all you moms whose daughters are going through recruitment at Bama this week -- GOOD LUCK and TAKE a DEEP BREATH! Your daughters will be texting you each day after they get this schedules. (I know mine did last year every morning when she saw the list she would return to each day).I believe she got her list around 9:00 each morning so be expecting that text or call. They could return to a maximum of 11 for philanthropy day and 7 for skit then to the final 3 for pref. Hope this gives a little insight as I have not seen this info posted.

There are four pref parties. Do the PNMs just go to three?

Yes, the girls go the three pref parties. There are four scheduled to handle logistics of all those girls and parties. My daughter had one "rest time" scheduled in and attended three pref parties.

I should clarify. The girls may attend a MAXIMUM of three pref parties. They might have one, two or three invites to pref parties.

The PNM can go to a max of 3 parties on pref night. There sororities will host more than 3 to cover the number of girls going thru recruitment.

Right now I'm at a small four-year university (it's a branch of the actual university). I wasn't sure what I wanted to major in so I never committed to a big university. However, I now know what major I'd like to pursue and that's why I am transferring to BAMA.
