Well she got 4 invitations back. She is kinda bummed that her very, very favorite released her. She still has 3 chapters that she really likes and one that is kinda not. I thing she will have a pretty good chance of getting invited back to at least one of her favorites.

She is going to forget about the one that realeased her and have a great time tomorrow. The chapters she has left are all great but right now I don't think she is seeing that.

She isn't sharing much info about anything else. She has always been like that, so I don't have much to shre with you.

My daughter got 3 invites back. Like tootiepie's daughter, mine didn't get an invite back from her favorite, and she was pretty upset. We have no Greek affiliation and she's really only had one letter of rec for each sorority, so she's probably fighting an uphill battle.

She still really likes one of the sororities that remains, is on the fence about no. 2, and doesn't feel she'd be a good fit for no. 3.

She's going to attend the skit round today and see if her opinion changes about 2 and/or 3. I'm afraid if no. 1 doesn't invite her back, she may consider dropping tomorrow. We'll see.

What a great mom you are tootiepie. Good Luck to your daughter.

Thanks Just Interested. I love her so much and hate to see her hurting, but this is part of life and it won't be the last. I know that she will move on and find lots of things to enjoy if this doesn't work out.

After a long and sleepless night my daughter informs me that I was wrong about the time they would call her. It is sometime this morning. I am leaving for B.R. soon, hopefully for bid day but maybe for lots of icecream and crying.

Best of luck for a good day, tootiepie. Whatever happens, just remember she has a wonderful mom who did not force her sorority on her. I had a friend whose mom did force her sorority on her and her sister. My friend was never happy with it.

I just want to give a big hug to the cool, calm, collected and caring moms in this thread. No matter how your daughters' recruitments turn out, they are lucky.

Bids have been issued. I think quota was 71. Can anyone confirm that? How did everyone do?

The moms in this thread deserve a round of applause.

I just got back from.....LSU BID Day!!!!!..... She did get the bid to the sorority she loved all week. I am know the mother of a very happy Phi Mu. I got to her dorm at around 11:30. I think it was 9-12 they did calls. If not we stressed for an extra hour!!! At 12:01 we figured it was all good. She kept checking her phone for missed calls but they never came.

LSU bid day is awesome and there where so many beautiful girls up and down the row. No wonder the competition was so fierce. Just like everything else we do here it was a great party. They don't go for the facny white dresses or even sundresses. It is shorts and t-shirts and silliness all the way. What a fun way to start it all out. They ran to the houses and got lots of hugs and jumped around like kids, took tons of pics, ate lots of pink cupcakes and pink punch. Then they are going to an alums house for some kind of party tonight.

Now don't ask any questions about quota etc., I was just so glad about our 1 bid I didn't care about anything else. When I talk to her tomorrow I will try to get more info.

Thanks for all the support you gave us, it has been a very stressful week but it ended up great.

Congrats to your daughter and Phi Mu!

tootiepie · #15 08-22-2009, 10:45 PM

oh, I forgot- one friend went Phi Mu, another went DZ, and her roommate and another friend went Tri Delta.

For graduation we went on a cruise with a group of students from a neighboring town. Almost every girl from that cruise went Phi Mu. My daughter is not sure how she feels about that. She is glad to have a base of people she knows but kinda wanted to branch out a little. Hopefully she will keep those friends but not rely to much on them. We are from a avery small town and school and part of the reason I wanted her to join a sorority was so that she could meet people who might be a little different from her and from different places etc.
