UGA 2018
 

Does anyone know how many girls have registered for recruitment at the University of Georgia?

I believe they said 1720 at the parent orientation yesterday

Wow! Best wishes for a successful recruitment to all of them! And prayers for NO RAIN!

I could have sworn I heard final number was closer to 1800, but I can’t find out anywhere.

Has anyone heard from their daughters as to how it’s going?

I have ZTA1550! Round 1 is wrapped up, and from what little bit I’ve gotten from my DD, it sounds like it’s going great. Hot, but great! Tomorrow morning at 7am is when all the “fun” starts. ☹️

Thanks for the update, MotherRusher — and here’s to your sweet daughter having a VERY happy and successful recruitment! Please keep us posted on how it’s going.

Exciting
 

Yes, please keep posting!

I had heard closer to 1800 from someone in the GLO

Ok ladies, just wanted to give y’all an update. DD received her Round 2 schedule this morning. 14 would have been a full schedule. She was handed 13! Of course, she lost a couple she loved, but still has quite a few that she loves.

I got an update from my friend whose daughter is going through UGA and who I wrote a rec for...Out of 14 available for round 2, she had 7 but is remaining positive about her choices, as there were some she really liked. Granted she was bummed to be cut from 2 that she really liked, but I'm glad she is keeping an open mind!

If you're on the Facebook page "It's All Greek to Me" (primarily for parents of fraternity and sorority members), there is a woman talking about her daughter's roommate, who dropped out of UGA recruitment because her boyfriend pledged a fraternity and immediately got hazed.
She was afraid she'd be hazed, so she quit.
Now there's a brisk discussion about urban rumors of hazing. Many of us NPC members are telling them that this is strictly forbidden among NPC groups.

MotherRusher, that is excellent! So happy for your sweet girl!

13! That's great MotherRusher! Fingers crossed!

Back in the jurassic era at UGA, I went from 18 to 8. I was fine with it. In retrospect, I was a little tactless. My Rho Chi checked to see if I was OK, and I told her I was thrilled that I didn't have to go back anywhere I didn't like. Totally true. Now did I get cut from places (cough KD cough) that I thought I had nailed it? Sure. But not really the point. I'm an optimist.

Truth be told, seven houses is PLENTY for second round. You can focus a little better, you get some breaks... you have the advantage over Full Schedule Felicia who can't catch her breath and can't remember Delta Zeta from Delta Gamma. Or was it Gamma Phi Beta?

I am glass half full, for sure, but full schedules are a rarity, and they come with their own heartburn.

Good luck Moms and Daughters!
