Yeah we did! And there are so many decisions made constantly that PMN's are not made aware of (good things)! It was an amazing year for Theta Omicron and we are going through our first formal recruitment right now!!! (I'm one of the advisors)

I obviously don't know, but it was just a thought!

Colonies generally take about the same amount of women as the average chapter size on campus, though. Ex: If everyone has 70 women, the colony will likely be about that size or maybe slightly larger.

When I went through colony recruitment, we went to the student union building to pick up our envelopes that held our bid or regret card, as was described. While it was hard ripping open the envelope and seeing I didn't get a bid, I don't know that a phone call would have been any better. Rejection sucks, no matter how it's delivered.

Now that Bid Day is one week away I am very stressed/nervous/excited. I wish it would get here sooner...I am at the point where I just really want to know what is going to happen. There is one more event this week and then the colonization process will be over. The suspense is killing me!

Good luck! From your initial post, I was able to determine where you are attending school and what sorority is colonizing there and all I can say is that any NPC (or NPHC) that you have the chance to join is well worth it. I wish you the best of luck! Please come back and let us know how things worked out!

Eeek, thought I was being discrete but looking back I guess I wasn't, going to go back and delete a little information since I can tell by your post you have the right school...you guys are too good at this

Thank you for the well wishes and I will definitely keep you posted!

You didn't say anything negative or harmful so I wouldn't worry about it, but word to the wise - we are VERY smart. And once you've followed this site through a couple rush seasons, you really do get a feel for what's going on where. You also get an idea of who's hot and who's not so even when you (not YOU, but you know, other girls) think you're being discreet, I'd be careful about how negative you go in your descriptions.

Okay...I'm glad I didn't say anything wrong...as soon as someone said they could tell the school and GLO I freaked

However if someone starts to say that they know my full name and mailing address I might officially be scared

However, just to be on the cautious side I am deleting all my posts. I will keep you guys updated as to what happens, I just don't want to do anything that may hurt my chances at this amazing opportunity the slightest bit

You don't have to erase your posts. I apologize if you were upset about this. If it makes you feel better, not everyone knows and I'm not about to share it with anyone where you are going to school. Us long-time GCers can usually figure out the school but, we generally don't give it away so, no worries. You didn't say anything that could be viewed as offensive in the least. I just knew where you were for various reasons to include the way your school newspaper discussed the colonization and I am at a school nearby for graduate work so, I had a hunch. As an involved alumna, I'm aware of the colonizations of my own organization as well as others--thanks to GC. We all wish you the best of luck! I can't wait to hear how things turn out! Crossing my fingers that you find your home!

Thank you so much, that makes me feel much better

I really hope I find my home too, but regardless of the outcome I am truly having a wonderful recruitment experience that I don't think I would give up either way. I am not only excited to see the outcome for myself, but how the colony will thrive in the Greek community at my school.

I deleted a lot of my posts for privacy reasons, but I just want to share that bid day is now in (less than) two days! I am semi-freaking out...I have felt such a strong connection grow with this organization and at this point my patience is running out! Hopefully the next 36 hours fly by!
