News from our Crew

Let me just begin by saying that my daughter has a phenomenal group of friends from her high school class and her discipleship group at church (a few went to different high schools).

While her class had their groups of "best friends" like at most schools, they really were amazing when compared to any other class of girls I've known in that they moved easily from group to group, and they really did not have any cliques that were "closed". So if it sounds like I am reporting the recruitment results of greater North Georgia, when I say "a friend of my daughter's", I do mean it, as the loosey-goosey group of friends numbered in the 50's. (Imagine how much fun we had trying to find a location for a mother-daughter luncheon prior to graduation last spring--past groups needed space for 60 and we were at 100+!)

With that said, the first two friends are done at Georgia Southern and they are now proud members of Zeta Tau Alpha and Phi Mu!

More news when I hear from church friends at Valdosta and Auburn.

Yay! And I can't wait to hear your UGa update too!

My sister had two friends pledge Phi Mu at Southern as well!

Yes, and just as important as UGA, I want to hear about that special recruitment at an undisclosed campus near and dear to you personally.

Congratulations!

Do you know what quota was this year at Ga Southern?

Valdosta update--a classmate went Kappa Delta. Church friend decided not to go through recruitment.

UGA girls were still having a good time yesterday, this morning they find out where they'll go for 12 parties today.

Church/D-Group friend is a new Phi Mu at Auburn!

Just got the UGA update:

Daughter's very best friend (VBF) was invited back to 12
Very close friend (and roommate of VBF!) invited back to 12
Other friends were invited back to 10, 6, 3 & 3 parties

Those were the only girls VBF had talked to when she called a few minutes ago.

I haven't updated because I haven't heard a lot. My friends (the moms!) are getting stressed so I don't want to keep asking, and my daughter has only talked to a couple of the girls because they are all exhausted. I think there have, so far, been a few surprises and some disappointments, so I'll wait until tomorrow when the results are final.

As for the two sophomores who were trying again...one still in, one out.

There were nine total, seven freshmen and two sophs.

good luck to them all.

NUBlue&Blue · #12 08-17-2007, 09:29 AM

Well, I've heard most of the results, so as of this point in time I know that:

At UGA:

Very Best Friend is a new Delta Delta Delta (a chapter legacy); Very Close Friend (roomie of VBF) is a new Gamma Phi Beta; Good Friend is a new Delta Gamma (a chapter legacy); Church/D-group Friend is a new Delta Gamma; 2 Friends got bids from Alpha Delta Pi.

Two other friends made it through prefs with one chapter each, but did not receive bids.

Two dropped out of the process.

At GCSU (Georgia College & State University in Milledgeville):

Good Friend is a new Delta Zeta.

NU - isn't your dd going through someplace? That must not start yet?

Starts here on Monday! I'll keep an eye on Kappa for you!

NUBlue&Blue · #14 08-18-2007, 12:38 PM

She is....they started today!

Best of luck to your daughter! The Greek sector was absolutely swarming with girls today... it seems like sorority recruitment gets bigger every year, but that could just be me getting old.
