U of Alabama Fall 2013 Dates

[greekdee]

It's great to hear some good stories, but there are a lot of disappointing ones as well. Cuts have been severe and surprising for many PNMs. I'm also hearing that among those receiving the most invites, not all are showing sensitivity towards those who didn't. No humility, no discretion and it's like rubbing salt in open wounds. While I'm sure some are just reacting to their own happiness and relief, some are just flaunting. This is unclassy, unacceptable and the rush counselors (forget what Bama calls them) need to address it, reminding them that their heartbreaking drop may come next round. Pride goeth before the fall, mean girls. I don't have a daughter in this fight (praise God), but know people who do and also have rec girls out in it. (Some are doing great, some are getting the average number of invites, but everyone still in the game.)

Did a lot drop after getting their invites yesterday?

I love my Debbie but girls...... they can be downright awful at times. Sometimes I think it's a cluelessness about others, they think the world revolves around them. Sometimes I think it's an insensitivity, lack of common sense, or lack of basic manners. Then there are those who are JUST NASTY and MEAN. Those girls are toxic and should be avoided at all costs. They are all about ME ME ME and they'll chew you up and spit you out before you know what happened.

I never wish bad things to happen to young people because there is so much growing up they have to do but there are some where you wish they would have a come to Jesus moment. Or somebody would give them a good kick in the you know what.

Having read through this thread, I am even more proud of my daughter and her friends. They made a pact before recruitment not to discuss the number or name of chapters inviting them back each round. Instead, they help each other with wardrobe selection, practice conversation starters, etc.

I think they have the right attitude about this whole stressful process.
