GCSU Recruitment

[mom2many]

Oh I will definitely help with both!

Thank you all so much for your nice words. As a parent, I found recruitment very difficult (yes, I know it's really not about me but I still found it difficult!) and had some long evenings between rounds 2 and pref - which is how I found the site. After being 'out of the loop' for so long it was nice to have knowledgable people to gain insight from.

I'm trying to take the lead from my independent, yet still very attached, daughter and not do my normal thing which is to 'jump right in' and get involved.

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't a little disppointed that my daughter was cut was my house. That said, she is very very different than the girls at this school so I knew going in that she wasn't a 'absolute' fit - but still, I was hoping. I do believe that they looked at her a second, and then a third time before they cut her so I think she got a fair shake but I would be lying if I didn't admit that I'm a little sad that those dreams I had for so long didn't happen.

That said, where she ended up is EXACTLY where she needed to be. It's a house that I would have been honored to be part of and was absolutely one of my top picks when I went through so many years ago.

I'll defintely wait until after she's formally initated and parents weekend happens before I offer and I'll defintely let her take the lead but I'll drop a lot of hints after Christmas!!

I have lived through both, my daughter "cutting" my house and another daughter being cut by my house. It is definitely more painful when the sorority that you love cuts your daughter! That said, both ended up where they should be, and I am very happy that they found their Greek home!

Well here we are at the end of Freshman year and I can say my daughter had the best year of her life. She has a wonderful big who is her absolute best friend. I am so very very proud of she opened herself up, built relationships, and embraced college life.

My daughter is eagerly waiting for fall recruitment and is so very happy about finding her little next year. We've bee gathering things together since Christmas in anticipation.

I am forever grateful to the sisters of Kappa Delta for being such a welcoming and inviting group of girls.
