(shhhh....don't tell Honeychile, there'll be no living with her now for sure! She's on a roll this year with PNMs going ADPi and then there's that little matter of expansion at some campus in the South...I forget which one but I'm supposed to buy a dress and sit on a veranda when the time comes).
Congratulations to your daughter, what a great story!!!!!

Congratulations to one of our newest Alphas. Great story, and great job on securing recs. When people who don't have Greeks in their families or their lives ask us how to find recs, we tell them to literally ask everyone-- church, school, friends, etc. You are proof that it takes some work, but that process does work!

Several people have asked which preference parties my daughter attended. Since she would have been honored to be a member of any of the three groups, here they are:
Sage - ADPi
Thyme - Alpha Chi Omega
Lavender - Delta Gamma

Congrats on an ADPi ending! Knowing Lavender was DG brings a smile to my face. That's such a great "new" chapter with a gorgeous house! I'm glad she liked them, but even more glad she found a home to call her own for the next four years!

Your daughter's (and your!) recruitment experience is full of win. From being creative with the prep work of getting recs to being open-minded and finding many favorites- what a fantastic example for all other PNMs and PNM Moms! Thank you so much for sharing, and congratulations to your daughter and ΑΔΠ!

I loved reading your daughter's recruitment story, and, of course, love the ending! Your daughter is now in the pledge class with a friend of mine's daughter. My friend actually has twin daughters-one twin pledged ADPi at Alabama, and a week later the other twin pledged ADPi at Georgia Tech. I do love me some ADPi endings.

Bid Day
I met my daughter at 8 am and was able to hang out with her as she got ready. We walked to the stadium together had a great time talking along the way. I am really glad we had that time together. Since she knew she would be happy with any of the three organizations she was overflowing with excitement. I had asked her to text me so I would know which group to look for and she did, but with the huge number of new members being “funneled out the chute,” I missed seeing her running past. I did get a picture of the letters running by and we met up at her new home away from home. My daughter is a proud new member of…
Alpha Delta Pi!
She has been having a great time the past few weeks; went on retreat, has attended several meetings, had her first swap and put in some clocked study hours (and a lot more besides) and is finding it all good. It's a huge relief to know that my daughter feels at home 1,000 miles away. I knew the academics were going to work out well, given the unique program she is in, and that program was the reason I could let go of my wish that she had chosen my alma mater and been a bent twig. Now my worry that she would feel lost at such a large school, is gone. I just hope I get lots of pictures as the year unfolds.
