That's essentially Cinci, Columbus (though a little SE, bordering on random Appalachia, near where we just moved to), CLE, Cinci (near where we just moved from), Columbus, CLE (Vi, you're thinking of Kings Mills, which is Cinci), Cinci, and Cinci.

She's such a sucker.....hates to make someone feel bad, so hopefully things will work out well. and as DeltaBetaBaby said, she doesn't have to make all those decisions tonight. Thanks so much again for the kind words! Its been a helluva long day!

I'm very happy to hear she is giving it a shot. This could be her ONLY shot. We all know how competitive AU is.

I started getting messages through FB. I post all of our alumnae chapter events on FB and am our self-appointed pubicity chair. They find my name and it goes from there. Because our area doesn't do Panhellenic teas and Greek Life is often a foreigh concept, I do anything I can to accommodate them.
BTW...Gates Mills = $$$$$$$ and Shaker is old money.

AUmom2012 I felt bad for you and your dau all night. Being a past president of a house the matching process is horrifying. It isn't that easy. There are two lists A and B each with the quota number. If your dau didn't get her first choice perhaps they had a lot of legacies or people with rec letters. If they had legacies they go to the top of the list - The bright spot for her to know is that she most likely got her third choice because she was their first choice. However, that doesn't mean that her first choice didn't want her. It is a game of numbers. Although Panhell doesn't like to hear this, as an alum I always tell my friends daughters don't write down a house on your final list if you don't want it - I say give it a go but if she is that unhappy don't go active and go through formal recruitment again next year. I wish I new what house it was so I could give you some better words of wisdom!

Also, would it kill people to type out the word daughter? We chastise the young folks who come here about their poor grammar and text speak. I think the college educated adults should live up to the same standards.

Uhhh was this directed to me? The answer would be no. If I wanted to put her name, I may as well put her SSN and pic up too. Its a large campus, but not that large, she's doesn't need this thread or forum to deal with should she choose to de-pledge or whatever. And I didn't feel like creating a fake name or anything either. Sorry.

I can appreciate that but discussing membership selection is not an appropriate way to do so. Like AzTheta said, you need to remove these posts.

One last thing, typically only the Chapter Pres, Recruitment chair and membership chair are the ones to see those lists. The members only see the list of new members right before the bids are handed out. We posted it about 15 minutes to 20 minutes b4 meeting up to congratulate our new members. So if the girls for the 1st choice took her out it was sincere - they may have been as shocked as she was!

Welcome to Kappa Alpha Theta  Now you are about to embark on a lifelong search for kite jewelry and motifs (seriously! good luck!!!). So pleased that your daughters are happy. And thanks for the heads up on Wrapsody. Just what I needed, another place to spend $$$.
