Guess with all the full houses there won't be many snap bids or spring rush bids.

Oh well, perhaps the new expansion sorority (Delta Gamma?) or again next fall as a more experienced sophomore.

Thanks to all for the great thread and congrats to the new pledges.

Tide Mom,

So glad that you had chosen to be in Tuscaloosa today. And were able to be there with your daughter.

Even though everyone made quota; girls will drop, transfer, not come back and graduate. Last year some of the chapters had closed spring rush. Not sure which chapter or how many. UGA had a spring rush for the first time last year too. My understanding was that before a new chapter can colonize that all of the chapters have to be at quota and this is why a few houses had a closed spring rush in 2010.

Encourage your daughter to get involved on Campus. There will be a day on the quad soon that all of the organizations will be recruiting. And to focus on getting really good grades. I have known a number of girls who had success after being in this situation.

i think you meant total-it can be very confusing. good advice though, whether
tide daughter decides to try recruitment in the spring if any of the groups hold it, next fall or finds her niche elsewhere on campus.
