If you are on Facebook, you can "like" Bama Panhellenic and see some photos of 2013 rush.

Love the pics! Just wish they'd post more. I'm looking forward to all of the excitement on Saturday. Good luck to all of the PNM's (and their moms) for tomorrow's invite card!

And if it hurts your SEC feelings to "like" Alabama, you can still see the pictures without any facebook commitment!

I got my daughter a gift basket from The Trunk. They carry lots of sorority related things. They also have lots of individual items for purchase for each sorority. You can pre-purchase and they ge the bid list early & send over a gift basket on bid day! Greek letter car stickers get har to come by, so make sure you get that if you get a chance to pop in!

Car decal recommendations:

The new members love them! However, ZTA does not allow new members to have any items with our crest (coat of arms) on it until after initiation. Letters are fine.

I believe some other sororities have restrictions prior to initiation (maybe the gift basket businesses already know this?)

That was the case with my daughter's sorority...no letters until after initiation, but initiation was early, so she had sme goodies to look forward to when it finally came around. As for the car decal, at Bama, they run out fast. Purchase ASAP...even if she can't display it yet.

Thank you for the suggestions! I'm going to plan on putting together my own Bid Day basket and sending it later in the week. That way, I can shop here (several big schools in our area and super cute shops carrying Greek everything) and get exactly what I know she'll love. Good tip on the car decals! I have time for that since she doesn't have her car at UA yet. I think The Trunk has been taking orders since Spring and they say delivery depends on when that order was placed so I'm thinking at this point, I may as well send a box from here. TBH, I just can't wait to go shopping for her! I've ordered flowers in the meantime.

Anxiously waiting to hear about the next invite card...

Traveldaughter was invited back to 8 for skit round, and they were her top 8. She is so happy and excited

. I've spent all this time preparing her for the worst but all seems to be going well.

She will love the things you pick out personally for her-and they may be different from the things in Tuscaloosa. You could mail the package to the sorority house-it creates a talking point as girls wander by and see all the cute stuff her mom sent!

What time do the girls get their lists today?

ladybug84 · #11 08-14-2013, 10:40 AM

She got her schedule - 8 parties. Wow! I can breathe again until Friday morning.

FSUZeta · #12 08-14-2013, 10:45 AM

Great news! Good luck to her today!

SewSheKnits · #13 08-14-2013, 11:12 AM

DD was invited back to 7 for skit round...whew! So far, so good.

Congrats to Traveldaughter and Ladybug84's PNM!

FSUZeta · #14 08-14-2013, 11:23 AM

That is fabulous for all the girls!

Typically, I'm disinterested in this recruitment other than for Bid Day, but I actually have a couple of Rec girls going through. I know both are still active in recruitment but don't know how many parties they have at this point. One is a legacy of one Bama chapter and one is not a legacy of any chapters. Can't wait for Bid Day.
