Last year my daughter went through recruitment at Auburn. I related an account of her experience on this forum. She did have recs for all but three chapters.
For her second round, she received a full schedule (12 last year.) But for the third round, she only received invitations to two chapters – interestingly, one for which she had a rec, and one for which she didn’t. One group was a favorite all week. The other she had put in her ranked list (not at number 1) each time.
She was fortunate enough to also be invited to those two groups for pref, and ultimately received a bid from her favorite. Although she very much wanted her favorite, she decided before bid day that she would be happy either way. She wanted to be in a sorority and she was going to be. All of the groups at Auburn are great and have a lot to offer.
I think it is probable that your daughter will receive a bid. On the chance that she doesn’t – there are some things to keep in mind. My daughter knows girls who got snap bids on bid day – they had been released from recruitment but were offered bids (by groups who didn’t meet quota? Not clear on this!) and they participated fully in bid day and love where they are. She has friends who participated in COB in the spring (including one who was released during fall recruitment and one who dropped out of fall recruitment) and are having a great time.
And one last thing. Daughter is living in an apartment this year with three other girls. Two of the girls are in two other sororities. The other is not in a sorority at all. Daughter loves her sorority and has some very close friends in it. They are not the only friends she has. Although many students at Auburn participate in Greek life, it’s not the only way to meet people.
Wishing her (and especially you! I’ve been in your shoes!) strength for the next few days.
War Eagle!
