They must feel so lucky that the chapter was reestablished just in time for their daughters to get bids. And sharing a sisterhood with their daughters--that'll be so wonderful for them.

(I'm not-so-secretly hoping I'll have a daughter and that she'll go AOII. My boyfriend is like , but he didn't go Greek and doesn't understand.)

Congratulations to all the wonderful new members and their respective chapters! I'm always happy when PNMs find their people. That's the most important thing.

It all turned out well in the end. She kept her mind wide open on pref day, and then ended up with her #1 pick - and she liked these girls all along, so I am thankful for her sticking it out. Here's to resilience and grace!

Congratulations to all the pnms who are now New Members! And to the moms, for making it through and being so supportive. The changes at IU are very welcome, indeed.

I was sent video last night from the Tennis Center and in previous years we received videos from the Rho gammas as some of the girls received their bids in their dorm rooms. I have to say, I kind of enjoyed the mass chaos of the tennis center better! It was like a giant party full of hugging, tears, and mass confusion!

It would be great to show live, like other University's do. ex: Mizzou , South Carolina...

It's s shaky cell phone video and I'm not sure how to share it or i would. Many of the chapters will put together a bid day video though. So you should be able to see those soon. They usually put them on youtube

I still hate when the unhoused chapters get less nms though. DPhiE got 14?! That makes me so upset. How can that still happen?

This is true everywhere, not just IU...Just because the girls are guaranteed to receive a bid that doesn't mean they will accept it. You can't force someone to be a member of a chapter. That's why knowing your audience and thinking outside the box (pledging upperclassmen, having open rush events throughout the year) is so important.

DPhiE got 16 actually. And no, we have no plans to build a house. ASA and TPA did just fine during formal recruitment. I don't know why we aren't doing so well, but time will tell.
