My daughter finished rush this past Sunday at Alabama and she is STILL tired. She called me last night and said she was going to bed at 9:30!! That is not like her at all but I guess she is still feeling the emotional and physical toll of a very intense rush.
Good luck to your daughter. I can't wait to see where she pledges. It sounds like she still has some very good options available.

Tell her to hang in there. I know she's exhausted, as a mom, I know you are too. Sounds like she has some great opportunities. Tonight is pref night, it will be quite emotional and bid day will be pure adrenaline. I'm wishing her the best of luck and hope she finds a sisterhood she loves.

Bluebonnet mom, I talked to some moms last night, and have heard that the cuts have been beyond rough! So, your daughter having choices is really good.
I know of a couple of girls who are down to one house - which they are happy for. A few have dropped out because they were unhappy with their choices, and decided it wasn't for them. And, a couple who were dropped by every house!!! 
I hope so much that your daughter ends up in a home where she will find wonderful friends!!

Holding My Breath too!!
I believe my daughter is at the same university as yours! Just waiting till she calls to let me know which sorority she pledged and what kind of flowers to send!! I think she is way calmer than I am. Best of luck to your daughter.

My thread is having to play catch up due to missed calls and next day calls from my daughter, plus the whole work thing is really putting a crimp in this thread too! Well, she got two invitations back to pref night out of a possible 3 parties They were:
Cowgirl
Stagecoach
To say she was shocked is an understatement. She really thought Pecan would be the one. This threw her in a tailspin, but she had to get ready for the night's events and didn't have a whole lot of time to think about it. This is how the night went:
Cowgirl - This is the house that rushed her really hard at skit night. Although the evening was special, she was paired with a member who didn't seem terribly interested in her (or at least that's her take on it) She's really confused as to why this would happen at such a late date and doesn't know what to think. She's bothered so much because she really likes some of the girls here.
Stagecoach - This is the house she did not want to return to. She was actually pleasantly surprised here, but she knows in her heart that this is not where she wants to be.
So my daughter decided to suicide for Cowgirl. Although she’s still having doubts about Cowgirl as well because of her rusher’s attitude. I can't say that I'm surprised - I said at the outset that she wouldn't pledge a house just to wear Greek letters. Today is bid day, and before much longer we will know how this all ends! I'm just on pins and needles about this whole experience. Tonight will be a well earned rest.

I hope for the best for your daughter. It may help to remind her that she's really only had an opportunity to spend a few hours (and that's being optimistic) with the women in these organizations and first impressions are not always everything.
Excited to hear how it ends!

Good luck to your daughter. I'm anxious to hear where she ends up - and what school she is attending.
