Parties for Skit tomorrow have been bumped up to 9am, and Pref are bumped later to 4pm on Saturday.

We have to be there at 7am....

my daughter is a new rushee...she called me in tears because she was devastated to have been dropped by three houses that she liked. One particular house was her sister's best friend's house. She still has houses that she likes but is getting very nervous. She is a legacy at one house but wants to make sure they are taking her because they like her and not because she is a legacy. I think the legacy house is actually her favorite. I told her if they didn't like her they would have dropped her.

Legacies aren't guaranteed bids. So if her legacy house extends her a bid, it's because they like her, not because she's a legacy.

Wow, time flies. To think I was one of these nervous moms just four years ago! Now, I am like the little match girl, peeking through the window, because my baby girl is now graduated and working her first big girl job.

I was telling another mom yesterday that she should try to attend the line dance competition in the Spring. It is so much fun to watch all the different houses cheer each other on. Some really talented girls out there!

Yup, that's the truth. There are way too many legacies going through Recruitment these days. Chapters cannot take them all, so if a legacy gets a bid, it's because they want HER.

The PMN I'm 'watching' at FSU is really enjoying herself and has five houses she's really thrilled with. I'm not sure how many invites she had for Philanthropy Round, and I'm waiting to see how things go for Skit Round today.

I know the weather in Tally is horrendous, because I'm still going through it in Jacksonville!

Were the parties shortened or re-scheduled?

My daughter said that they began everything today a lot earlier than previously scheduled. She also told me that tomorrow they will begin I think about two hours later than previously scheduled, so I think everything will start around 4:30. She didn't say anything about parties being shortened or re-scheduled.

So far the word is that Prefs will begin at 4. I'll be surprised if that doesn't change due to the severe weather we're going to get soon. Maybe the worst of the storm will be gone by the time Pref parties are supposed to stop.
