Indiana University 2014 Recruitment

[clemsongirl]

I am anxiously awaiting updates from our other moms with daughters we have not yet heard from...wishing all the best.

Daughter says it is "carnage" in her dorm. No rhyme or reason as to who got bids and who didn't. One of her friends is a beautiful, caring, smart (4.0), involved student and came out with nothing. She is just one of MANY.

My daughter is throwing around a number that approximately 300 PNMs who attended 3 party received no bids. She thinks they may have invited more PNMs to the final party because of combining the 14 and 8 parties. Anyone have confirmation??

I do have a happy report -- my sophomore daughter got a bid. Very nice news since she did not get a bid her freshman year.

At this point is impossible to know a final number as chapters will continue to snap bid today and over the next several days to replace PC members who declined bids

And that is a good point, midwesterner1's daughter probably personally knew several sorority members when she went through a second time. If your daughter didn't succeed this time and she doesn't with DPhiE (or isn't interested in going that way), she should work at building relationships with sorority women (through on campus activities, in class, study groups, etc., not via stalking ). It makes all the difference when you're talking about pre-existing friendships and the hordes of rushees.

My daughter got a bid. Twelve girls on her floor rushed, four got bids. She got her second choice. Her roommate also attended that preference party. My daughter got the bid from the sorority that her roommate desperately wanted. Her roommate (both from the same hometown, friends before being roomies) got nothing. My older daughter got nothing two years ago. There is no joy in it for my daughter. I talked with her and she was crying hysterically. Maybe joy will come later. Doesn't even want to go to the sorority house tonight.

If I recall correctly snap bids can only be issued for 24 hours? Then it becomes COR/COB and that may be delayed until after the DPhiE colonization. That's how it usually works on campuses when there is a colonization right after formal recruitment. Can anyone local provide information here?

[midwesterner1]

DuBais Sis is exactly right -- my daughter is joining a sorority which her BFF at IU pledged last year. She has met a number of other girls in the house through her BFF over the past few months. She does not have good friends at any other house.

I feel guilty for posting good news, but here it is... My daughter got a bid to Theta Phi Alpha and she's very excited! I only got to talk to her briefly so I didn't find out what the mood was in her dorm, but I assume it's ugly.

Congratulations to her!

Do they only offer snap bids to PNMs that attended their pref party?
