Anxious about waiting

[Macanoble]

Here we are…11 years later when my oldest daughter went through Recruitment at AppState and pledged AOII.
(I forgot my password as MamaRubyRose, so I registered again as Macanoble)
Now my youngest daughter is rushing at NC STATE. It was a last minute decision. No AOII chapter there, but she is having the time of her life! She made the last minute decision to rush, just for the experience of rushing, but now she is hoping to pledge. I am so excited for her! Recruitment began Friday 10 houses GET INVOLVED theme. Yesterday was the Philanthropy round, MAKE A DIFFERENCE, 8 houses max. She went to all 8! I never saw that coming! Without pressure on her, my older daughter and I are anxiously waiting to find out how many houses she goes back to this afternoon for the LIVE AND LEARN round, which is the academics/sisterhood/house tour round.

So excited for her!

On the original topic…I recently met a mom AOPi from my college who now has two of her daughters as sisters- actives in her same chapter. I think that is so neat.

Oh that's great! Welcome back!

It looks like there are 12 chapters at NC State. One is a sorority for STEM majors. The other 11 are NPC chapters. You said she started with 10 chapters on the first day. In looking at one of our other threads here, Alpha Xi Delta apparently closed in 1989, but NC State Panhellenic has them on their website. I see from their advertisements that AXiD is recolonizing this fall!

Yes! AXiD is recolonizing this fall! If your daughter doesn't find her home during Formal Recruitment, please tell her to check out AXID!!

Good luck to your youngest daughter at NCSU! Hope that she finds her home there.

Yes, 10 houses for formal recruitment, and they were introduced to AXiD in the first round.

My daughter wasn’t planning to rush since there is no AOII chapter there. My older daughter and I told her that they vary from campus to campus anyway, and it doesn’t hurt to at least experience recruitment. Since she was a spring admit, we were surprised when she decided to go through Fall Recruitment. We told her to just go with an open mind, and not listen to what others say or have said about each sorority, and truly listing your favorites regardless of what anyone else says. She is great at reading people, so I knew she would do just that! She did experience some of the meanness from some of the other PNMs, particularly when cuts started, but she brushed it off because she was determined to have the best time no matter what. As she recounted her experiences each day, my older daughter and I got excited for her, but we didn’t tell her that she was actually having a GREAT recruitment! She figured it out when she realized not everyone was going to every party each day. Today she is going to Preference at her 2 favorite houses, and she tells us she loves both, so she will be happy either way.
