1. I thought when there was a colonization, COB was suspended?

2. Since total is still high, maybe we'll get lucky and after Alpha Phi colonizes, Alpha Xi will be able to recolonize next *fingers crossed*

My sorority sister's daughter went Gamma Phi. They were her top choice throughout all the rounds.

According to head counts in a couple of pictures, DPHiE got about 52ish and SDT got 46.

They sometimes allow the existing groups to COB for a few days. All depends on the campus situation.

Fingers crossed. My daughter had an interview with Alpha Phi today as part of their colonization process at UGA. They still have a few events over the next week with the final two being by invitation. She has had positive interactions with the ELC staff and she thought her interview went well. I was even able to find an alumna that knows my daughter well to complete a rec.

BTW - the roommate drama continues, but my daughter is continuing to be kind & courteous, focusing on school and staying out of her way until housing can make the necessary room changes.

I can so appreciate your situation. My daughter and her roommate freshman year did NOT get along at all- 2 very strong personalities just clashed from the beginning and it made for a horrible 1st term- she was able to move 2nd semester and she was so much happier- on a positive note however, now that they have lived apart for last 2 1/2 years they are friends again and have both "grown up" so to speak. I won't say they are best buddies but they do have a friendly connection once again and I am grateful for that, and that they both have moved past all that and can be positive and encouraging to one another. Stick with it as you don't know how this will end. As for the Alpha Phi colonization, I am so very happy to hear she is pursuing this. When Alpha Phi colononized at Ole Miss- my girl went through it but unfortunately it did not work out well for her- it was a blessing in disguise though as it led her to Theta where she is very happy. I encourage her to continue and let her personality shine!! I am truly hoping and praying for the very best for her. Please do keep us all posted. We are all wishing the very best for her.

I am so hopeful that Alpha Phi works out for her! Keeping my fingers crossed about that and her roommate situation.

WeaverD, I am so glad your daughter decided to give Alpha Phi a try. Hoping for the best for her!

Crossing my fingers for her

[ShadeTree]

Good luck to your daughter. Hope she finds a home in Alpha Phi. They are a wonderful organization!

[Weaver D]

So the roommate situation has been resolved. The other young lady moved out and one of my daughter's high school friends from the same building is moving in!

My daughter also texted me to let me know that she was invited to the Alpha Phi Pref Day event tomorrow night and she is thrilled! Bid Day is Thursday!

It's been over 20 years since interacting with Alpha Phi but they were a strong chapter when I worked at a campus in OH. Looking forward to the opportunity for my daughter.

I'm so happy to hear this!! I know different groups do it differently-do you know if a pref invite guarantees a bid?
