My daughter is a Sigma Kappa at UF. She said that they got a terrific pledge class on Sunday. Sunday was a long, hard day for all the girls. My SK had to be at the house, dressed at 6:45 AM to get the house ready for the morning prefs. Then she had to stay after to work. She had a two hour break before she had to be back at the house at 5:30 pm to get ready to receive the new girls. They spent the entire evening with BID day activities and dinner. She was absolutely exhausted by midnight, when she finally got to bed!

Where are the rest of the UF results? This is strange. Usually they're all over the board by now, and all I've seen so far are my own and DZ's.

I am still amazed that a week after bids went out at Florida, we still don't know how recruitment went for most of the chapters. Thanks SigKapSweetie for being one of the few to update us.

Anytime! I know how crazy we get here when we aren't kept in the loop!

Daughter just pledged Theta at UT. Although she was a legacy, she felt the most important thing during the intense UT rush was to "click" with a member. That member then "talks up" the PNM with juniors and seniors. Daughter is thrilled to be a Theta-one of the "Big 6" on the UT campus. Mom is glad it's over!

Not sure how I feel about that comment.

Thetamom,
You may want to edit the phrase regarding the Big 6

How horrifying if she had ended up as one of the "Small 7", "Eensy 8" or "Nothing 9s". Sounds like she had her game plan all worked out.

I hate to say this, and I really don't agree with ranking groups and all that, but Big 6 is kind of a fact of life at Texas - particularly to those from certain communities or with a history of Greek Life in their families. I am sure this mom didn't even realize that people might object to that. I know it's not how we roll on GC, but to people caught up in a GLO system like Texas's... it just is.
That said, there are some AMAZING not-Big 6 groups at Texas. You can't really go wrong.

6 is almost HALF of all the sororities at Texas... so they can't really be THAT elite or whatever.

I am kind of surprised such a status-oriented mom was so charitable in calling her rankings the "big six." Usually people that hung up on the tiers make sure to let you know they're in the "big three."

So what? The other chapters are not "worthy" of your daughter?
