A BIG TEN Recruitment Story

[IUgreekmom]

I feel for you. I went though this day at the same school with my daughter last year. She went to 3 houses for preference and ended up with her second choice. She is SO HAPPY where she is!!! Keep an open mind today!

[HQWest]

Can't wait to read the happy ending!

Well there were four rounds for three party yesterday which makes me SO NERVOUS. So many girls were invited back to each house that they needed extra rounds to fit everyone into.

I AM OFFICIALLY FREAAAAAKING OUT.

[IUgreekmom]

Do not freak out. All of us here are pulling for you and are excited to hear your results!

[brighteyedgirl]

Thanks guys....5 hours!

Going to go watch tons of HIMYM now to forget about this.

I think there is a collective breath-holding all across the readers of your thread. Wishing you all the best! Get a nap in if you possibly can.

YEAH! I got nervous when I saw new posts.

Bids have been given out! Good luck to BEG!

OMGosh I can't wait to hear her story! It must have been soooo hard to wait all day for your bid. I remember waiting through two classes for my pref party invites, I was bouncing up and down and practically ran out the door when class was dismissed! I hope all turned out great for you.

I hope that no news is good news.

It usually is at IU. Three girls from my hometown are going through and one quickly posted on FB her new home. Waiting to see where the other two end up, worried about one.

Hoping no news is good news as well.

The comments have started rolling again on the NPC blog about IU and their horrible placement numbers. So sad. I would never encourage any woman who wanted to be Greek to attend IU. I would do my utmost to talk her out of it.

Might not be the place to continue this conversation - but I just read that blog. While I understand that there is and has been some political issues surrounding the recruitment process at Indiana - Holy Super Special Snowflakes batman!

I really want to smack some of these parents, I know my own school's recruitment is highly dysfunctional, but you need to not baby your daughter. If she didn't get into a chapter, use it as a learning experience because rejection hurts, and it's going to happen plenty of times in life. Whining on a blog because your daughter's roommate got a bid even though she is on academic probation is in no means productive

The comments are crazy! I can't believe there are parents on there calling out new members who got bids who they think shouldn't have received them due to gossip told to them by their daughters. They aren't saying names but it is still so hurtful and immature. I understand how upset they are because this rush sounds crazy to me but their behavior is really embarrassing.
