You guys will not believe this! I already heard back from our nationals and they have extended a bid to Jane! That was a lot quicker than I was expecting. It took nine days from submission to approval. They emailed both her and I this morning.
However, now there will be more waiting. She will have to initiate in the spring, because a cluster of fall ones locally are scheduled this week and there just isn't time to make it happen logistically.
I will write more once I know more! She needs to pay fees to nationals and then I have to coordinate the initiation aspect.
EDITED TO ADD: now I want to do what we did in college and give her a bag of goodies, but I didn't expect it to be this fast, and I was not expecting a YES either, so now I will need to shop and get a block letter tee for her or something!!!
