Happy for them, but unfortunately my Sig Kap legacy was cut after round two. Have to say I was beyond disappointed. Not all your chapter sisters’ legacies were given bids.

Did your daughter receive no bid tonight? If so, I am so sorry to hear that. That really breaks my heart

I’m sorry. I’m sure you share her pain and disappointment. Did she not have any options at all?

She received a bid. She's giving it a chance. Definitely not where she saw herself but had a really nice time with her new chapter tonight. I'm proud of her. From what I see on the IU Parent FB page, not many women are willing to give certain chapters a chance. They'd rather suicide or drop. I'm proud that my daughter, while disappointed, is looking at this as a chance to meet a different group of women and get involved. I'm glad my daughter is one who is willing to give them a chance.

Your daughter sounds very mature, smart and like someone who will be an excellent member for her new chapter. I hope she sticks with it and finds a lot of happiness with her sisterhood.

I'm glad that she is giving the chapter a chance, and that she had a really nice time with them on Bid Day. Going and giving them a chance was a mature move on her part.

I hope that she continues to give them a chance. All the chapters at IU have wonderful women in them, and for the most part the Greek experience tends to be similar across different chapters.

Remember to remind her that these girls wanted her to be their sister and saw something special in her.

Hope it works out!

There is one chapter at IU that remains unhoused, which had well over 100 women in Spring 2018.

The one chapter that had fewer than 100 women now has a house.

Unless something has massively changed in one semester, your daughter should have at least one of these two.

Glad to hear she enjoyed the first night with her chapter. You should be very proud of her. To persevere through disappointment shows strength of character, maturity and strong self esteem, traits that are not universally shared. She will be meeting other women with those same admirable qualities. Best of luck as she begins this journey.

I am with you on that - our daughter got a house that she did not originally see herself in but they are going to be a great group to get to know - And honestly come on, where else can you find a huge mansion to live in, surrounding yourself by over 100 women your same age, with similar aspirations and goals, to get a great education and make friends. They don’t have to grocery shop, don’t have to shovel their sidewalk, the bus stop is within walking distance, I mean really what more could you ask for? This is all going to work out great. They were smart to give the chapter that liked them a chance.
