Bad experience

[AZTheta]

She is eligible for COB. And it is relevant that she had a pref invitation (not a bid - not yet), but declined and withdrew from recruitment. She didn't give the one chapter that saw something in her a chance. She could have attended pref and then withdrawn. So many here will surmise that your daughter "turned her nose up" at a chapter (which usually happens for reasons such as "it's not the top tier"), and you may get some strong reactions.

Here's what's relevant: there may be very few, if any, chapters doing COB this fall. The Greek system at WKU is strong, and many or all the chapters may be at or above total after recruitment. There may be some chapters doing COB in the spring. Best advice is to get great grades this fall, keep a clean social profile, make genuine friends with women in every sorority that she meets through classes, on campus, etc. And if there are no opportunities for Spring COB, go through again as a sophomore.

Thanks, you're right. I guess she didn't feel comfortable in the one.

semi-related: what time is bid day on The Hill? anyone know?

I didn't write for anyone going through recruitment this week -- we have HEAVY connections at one chapter on campus & for better or worse, that's where all our girls want to go. However, I was notified last night at least one of our local girls went to my chapter's pref party ... so now I've got a little more interest

Thanks for the correction. Do you want me to edit my post, or can I just leave it? PS I wrote "there may be" so I was hedging, ya know?
