An SEC rush

[southernyankee]

We are getting close...close enough I think to post my "mock" sorority names.

Now, this is not the true number of sororities, but it is in the vicinity. I don't think it will matter much once the first "rounds" are over and the numbers are more manageable. I don't want to give too much away yet, and know that several GCers could figure out which school my daughter is rushing just by the number of sororities! So, here they are:

Cardinals
Falcons
Bengals
Panthers
Browns
Broncos
Cowboys
Texans
Colts
Packers
Vikings
Patriots
Giants
Raiders
Steelers
Saints

Texasmom...I think we will be needing that support!

[Drolefille]

Good luck!

[honeychile]

[dgdramadawg]

GO PATS!!!!!

[MSKKG]

Gotta go with the Saints . . . the fleur-de-lis, don'tcha know!

[texasmom]

You and your daughter both have my support. I hope y'all enjoy the process and your daughter ends up in the right home.

Love the NFL names.. . However, I'm going to venture past my obviously Texas bias and not pick the Cowboys or Texans. I'll choose the Giants -- Just went to New York for the first time, so I'll go with their team.

[blackngoldengrl]

Oh man, no Ravens! Then I gotta go with the Cowboys, cuz I love those stars! good luck!

[OleMissGlitter]

Go Cardinals and Saints!!!!

[flirt5721]

[Jimmy Choo]

Best of luck southernyankee and daughter!

Go Panthers!!!! (gotta cheer for the homestate team)

[Stef the Pef]

I gotta say I'm a little biased towards the Cowboys and the Texans, although the Packers rock, too. I love cheese!

Good luck to you both!

[hannahgirl]

I've got to go with Da Browns!!!

Can't wait to see which team drafts her!

[navane]

Heh...I'm for any of them but the Raiders!


.....Kelly <---- I would have picked the Chargers if they had been listed.

We got all the addresses from the panhellenic site as to where the alumnae needed to send the rec, addressed above mentioned envelopes and added a stamp. We wanted to make it as easy as possible for the alumnae to send the rec in!

We started fairly early scrambling for recs. We had heard from different alumnae that some of the sororities had a July 1st deadline! Don't think this is common knowledge as it is not posted anywhere on the school's panhellenic website, or in any information packets handed out. When I say "scrambled", I mean it.

Not being from the south originally, we really didn't pay much attention to what friends were in what sorority in college. When my older daughter rushed, she did not go to a school where there were alot of GLO's, so it was fairly easy to find at least one rec for each house...but this is not the case with my youngest. We never even heard of some of the sororities that she would now need recs for. We looked everywhere...asked every teacher, every co-worker (bless my husband's heart), and every friend if they knew any alumnae in such and such sorority.

I must admit, my best friend probably suffered the most as she is a regional representive for her alumnae association, and tended to have "connections" in finding others. She helped my daughter out so much, and I can't thank her enough. Without her, it would have been nearly impossible to get as many recs as we did.

So to wrap up a long story...we got all the recs in(hopefully everyone that said they'd send one, did). All thank you notes written and mailed!

I feel so bad about y'all having to jump thru so many hoops to get your recs; is there an alum panhellenic association in your area? If so, they should have helped you with the recs....
