yes- rho gammas actually go to the dorms and hand out the schedules individually. (I believe sophomores have a meeting place but it varies by rho gamma group).

And a note to parents: the cuts this round are hard. They are harsh. Many organizations were ask to cut half of the women that were there for philanthropy rounds. Women that the organizations loved were released by the chapters simply because of numbers. Please remind your daughters to focus on the groups that she has left- those groups had to truly love her to invite her back! They want her!

And if she was released by a group that she loved, it most likely was NOT HER. It was numbers. I believe these cuts are hard before sisterhood round so that women can focus on those groups that truly want her, rather than giving false hope going into preference.

This is SO true. I said that repeatedly to both my daughters. My oldest daughter went all the way thru to pref (back in 2014 when a round was cut due to weather) with a full schedule and houses she LOVED to get three back for the final round that she struggled with. First I told her she was lucky to have 3 when some girls only had 1 (or none) and that she needed to pick herself up and re-group.

She did and when pref came and she got her bid card again she was not a happy camper. Again, I reminded her that this was her chance to be Greek and that these girls saw her as having the potential to be their sister. I don't mean to make her sound like a whiner - she wasn't. It just wasn't the outcome she expected. Flash forward to today and she's preparing to be in the wedding of one of her best friends and sisters and has friends she couldn't have imagined missing out on at IU.

I only share all of this to share that it all truly does work out. And agree that the next rounds are definitely the toughest. And you moms going through it this year sound like you have the right perspective to help their daughters get through this brutal process. Hang in there!
