This site has been wonderful for my nerves tonight.... the thread on dresses with boots is hilarious!!! Best wishes for every PNM tomorrow. Any other moms planning to drive to Auburn on Sunday?

Gamomof2 · #2 08-13-2011, 07:33 AM

Her Dad and I will be there.

Sad news this morning.... my daughter was released

. Thanks to everyone here for your support and valuable information. I wish the best to the rest of the PNM's and their moms I've "met" here.

Oh, Lavalier.

There's some great advice for released PNMs earlier on this thread and I hope that y'all will read it if she still wants to be Greek. Last year we had 2 released PNMs on GC who signed up for informal recruitment immediately and they ended up with bids. There were 2 the year before that.

Stay strong!

Lavalier & Wareagle,

I'm very sorry! I know this week was alot of work and stress not to have the ending you planned. I wasn't Greek in college and had an amazing experience. AU is such a great, friendly environment with so many great groups to get involved with.

I'm so very sorry wareagle and lavaliere.

I was hoping for a happy ending for everyone on here. Chin up, put your name in for informal (if desired), and we'll continue to keep fingers crossed! Bottom line is that Auburn is wonderful school, and they will find their niche somewhere, even if it's not in greek life.

Has anyone heard how it's going for the chapters? Are girls dropping with chapters left because they aren't happy with who they have? We've heard none of that here, but the mothers in this thread seem to be smart and practical enough to have counseled against that sort of thing. I sure hope that's not happening when we know of at least 2 girls who would be livid to find out some ungrateful hag took their spot. (too harsh?)

eta/ and again, I'm so sorry for this outcome. Please keep in touch about what your daughter decides to do now.

lavalier, i am so sorry that your daughter was released. i hope that she will feel better soon(and you too). might i suggest that you drive to auburn in a week of two for a little retail therapy? when my college boyfriend and i broke up, my mother arrived the following
Saturday and took me out to lunch and shopping-it really helped!

Lavalier, I'm really sorry! I can imagine that it's been a very stressful and agonizing time, and your daughter seems like a really sweet girl! There's more than just greek life at AU. I agree with FuturePNMMom. The people at AU are arguably the most friendly in the entire country, and there are literally HUNDREDS of activities to be involved in. No doubt she'll find her niche somewhere, and who knows? Perhaps she might give it another try next year! In the meantime, organizations/clubs such as IMPACT and Tiger Tuesdays are GREAT ways to get involved, and I'm certainly looking to be involved in such a club aside from my pledging a Fraternity.

Good luck to your daughter and War Eagle!

My daughter has been asked back to one today. It was one of her consistent favorites from the week so that is a good thing. But now... it is so stressful waiting to see what will happen now!

To those of you that did not receive good news: A neighbor's daughter was released in her freshman year (at Auburn), came back sophomore year, joined a sorority and had a good time. She recently graduated. Good luck to all of you and lots of love to you, too!

I hope that all the PNMs can go do something far away from campus this evening. Something that will keep them physically busy would be great!!!

That's great news! But very stressful on both of you, I can imagine. Remember, all it takes is one!

Lavalier, I am so sorry your daughter was released. I agree with FSUZeta drive doen and do some retail therapy.

Does anyone know what percent of girls don't complete recruitment at Auburn? That includes girls that drop throughout the week, or are released.

I think I read somewhere that UA has about an 88% rate of placement.

Lavalier, I'm sorry about your daughter.

I've been invited back to three pref parties! Even better, I can genuinely say I like all of them! ....but I am definitely going to have to find something to do tonight.
