Thanks! She is asking me questions about when to (or if she should) indicate to a sorority member that she really likes her sorority. I suggested waiting until third round... Is that correct advice?

Does anyone know much about the numbers this year? When do they set quota (is it even still called quota). I clearly need to do more reading!

She should indicate that she really likes them when it feels natural and honest. She should not tell anyone that it is her favorite (so no hurt feelings if she changes her mind.)

Quota is set after prefs based on the number of women who sign a pledge card. So she should see it through. Good luck!

I don't see the problem with saying on Pref Night "this is my favorite house" or "I really want to be an XYZ." Obviously that should only be said to the house you are 1,000% sure you want to wind up in. I remember Pref Night on the other side and some girls made it completely obvious we were their #1 choice, while others were more vague. I always liked when girls were up front. Sure there may have been some that on Bid Day you thought "wow I really thought we would've gotten them" but it was just disappointing, not devastating.

Good luck to your daughter, PearlGirl13! A full schedule is GREAT. Keep us posted.

I have heard back from two of the three Mom's whose daughters I have written recs for. One has 12 houses and the other has 10 houses today. The other one was sure but thought that her daughter had a full schedule today. It would be fun to list the houses that each of them have been invited to after every round ( if I keep their identity anonymous). I could refer to them as B1, B2 and B3. But I won't do it if anyone feels that this is too revealing or a breach of confidentiality.

That would be great but if you do, just don't give any identifying information like hometown!

By the Way Brenda Bond is not my real name...so I am anonymous.

I can honestly say as a mother, rush was a very difficult time for me. With daughter on the other side......well last year was a tough one too, as the girl she "preffed", adored, and wanted for her little did not end up on the pledge list. This year things have been smooth sailing so far, except the downpour round 1. wishing that all the girls can find a sorority home.

My daughter is hanging in there! Six parties today with three that she can see herself at and one clear favorite. Now that she has a favorite (first time she has said this all week) I'm really getting anxious. The tone of her texts is all over the place - makes me look back at my days in Rush when I called home at the end of the week - mission accomplished! My mom didn't know how good she had it!

Pearl Girl... Are you a Tri Delta? If so were you a Tri Delt at UGA and if so what year?

FSUZeta · #14 08-10-2013, 01:55 PM

So true PearlGirl13. Good luck to Pearldaughter.

Brenda Bond · #15 08-10-2013, 02:28 PM

All of my girls got to experience shell shock today with the major cuts that usually happen during this round. They are all hanging in there....one still has her favorite : ) The others I have not heard from yet...but I tell everyone of them...to lift up your chin and find new favorites today.
