Two of my four rec girls went Alpha Chi Omega and one went Kappa Delta. The other was released.  I was just sick about it.

Hi ladies - I specifically joined GC just so I could post a reply!
I'm so impressed with the support you all give each other and how much you all agree what a great experience being part of a sisterhood is/was!
I'm an alumna of a local sorority at UGA - and we're always looking for wonderful additions to our sisterhood. Recruitment for us is a few weeks into the school year - and I'd like to extend an invite to them, through you all. Pls message me directly if you're interested or think it could be a good fit!
PS. I hope I haven't broken any rules about posting this, if so - apologies in advance.

Welcome, XDEmerald! You definitely didn't break any rules. I hope that your group has a successful recruitment.

Does anyone know the numbers yet? How many bids were given? How many were released/dropped out? Just from my daughter's experience, she feels (and let me just emphasize feels) as if it were one out of every four girls who either dropped out or were released, but that's just from her circle of friends, gamma chi group, dorm, etc.. That seems really high to me.

I have heard/read that 20% of the girls who began recruitment didn't pledge.

Well, I guess her feeling was pretty close to correct, if it was actually 1 out of 5.

And how many of those dropped because they didn't like their options? It's interesting to see the numbers on releases and withdrawns.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't cry over women who didn't see the process through to the end.

My rec girl went Theta. I am so happy for her. She transferred from a highly competitive Texas school where her mother's chapter dropped her. Theta got a good one.

Looks like neither of my two rec girls pledged. I know one SIP'ed and it didn't work out. Not too sure what happened with the other, but we are guessing something similar to the other PNM.

I'm not trying to be judgmental because I had serious concerns last year that Debbie might SIP but I wonder..... do girls SIP because they feel that it's better to be in THE ONE or none at all? It almost has a cut off your nose to spite your face moment of panic, over-reaction, drama, hurt feelings, anger, etc. I wonder if girls who've SIP'd can think back on it and agree that it was the best decision or if they regret it almost immediately. Just thinking out loud.
Side note: I told my husband last year that SIP was an option for my daughter and he looked at me like I was crazy. His words "I know it's been a lot of drama for you and her and I'm butting out but I hope you didn't encourage her to SIP. That makes no sense to me." I told him he was a boy and that girls think differently. He said "I don't get it. Go through a week of hell (his words) and then walk away at the end? Women."
