I have been very involved as an Adivisor for AXO for over 20 years. I was VERY pregnant with my daughter during one recruitment. My daughter has grown up around the AXO house. DD is now a sophomore in HS and just asked the other day if she had to be an AXO when she went to college. My response was she could be any thing she wanted. While I would love for her to be an AXO and disappointed if AXO dropped her during recruitment I also realize that I want her to be happy. My two nieces who are Sigma Kappa's think that is where she should land! Personally, I think it would be easier for me if she went to a college without an AXO Chapter, but in the end I want her to have a good college experience like I did.

Friday is a long wait so we will join her in going bananas! But from your post it sounds like rush is going very well for her. And I love her discernment ~ do they like me or the rec!
Love it! She is going to do fine.
Question: at her school is rush only on the weekends? If so is this weekend pref & bid day?

They switched to this recruitment style at Iowa, and the wait seems to have benefited the girls as not as many dropped out this year. Maybe having a little time to think about it all (or freak out as many of us would have done) helps their common sense.
Good luck to your daughter. Here's a little GC gripe we have: your daughter hasn't CUT anyone. She ranked some houses lower.

Thanks for the info concerning weekend recruitment. I can see the benefits anything that reduces dropping out is wonderful but personally I would be freaking out!
My fault 'cutting' but those where the words used to describe the situation by the rho chi.
It was also the term used when I went through rush/recruitment. Yes, it does sound awful ~ sorry.

Good thoughts are coming in your direction, and for your daughter. I keep saying "it only takes one" and I know several women who had "one" and it was the Right One all along. When you are in the thick of it, it's so hard to have any perspective or balance. How often have I wanted to know the outcome of the race before I placed my bet, but that is not how it works.
/side note: my sister went through recruitment at my university when I was a senior and she was a freshman. I was positive she would go with another chapter. Honestly, at the time I was fine with it, and to this very day I think/know that that chapter was a better fit for her than mine. They pursued her, wooed her, preferenced her; and in the end, she went to my chapter. I was quite shocked, as was everyone else in that chapter. She ended up transferring after her junior year and not affiliating where she transferred (no chapter there). My sister was always in my footsteps her entire life, and I believe (as does she, I think) that she would have been happier had she gone in a different direction. Well, we live life forward and understand it backwards, don't we?

It's amazing to me the toll that it takes on the mother when the daughter is participating in recruitment and waiting on the invitations. Been there, done that in August. I'm pulling for you!
