She's probably right. i think there are so many legacies now that it doesn't have the "weight" it used to. i got a letter from my national saying my daughter would be invited back at least once and that there was no guarantee of invitation to bid

My daughter just texted me & she is done for the day!! She is on the way to do her selections. She is very nervous because she liked so many of the houses. I told her to go with her gut feelings & she would be fine. I will let you know how she does for the next round! Keep your fingers crossed!

Hi, I'm new to all of this and learning quickly I read the post earlier about the only men allowed in houses will be dads. I called the office and was told that brothers should be allowed in as well. The girl said they are trying to keep out the frat guys. I hope she is correct, we were planning on bringing my son along too. I am so glad I found this site! It has been very helpful to me this week! I keep waiting for my phone to ring! Having this, I feel like I can keep up a bit better

Reading Bama rush threads (under "Recruitment Stories") would be the best way to find out about what it's like.

Hi Bamagirl! She is having a blast. She said it's very hot and very busy, but she wouldn't change a thing! Everyone has been very nice and helpful. She is a transfer student and said she doesn't know how the freshmen can keep up with all of this and just starting at school. She can't believe how many girls are rushing! By the way, "heard" a news crew was coming? Anyone hear about that?

They usually show up at some point...a lot of times on what used to be called "Squeal Day" (Bid Day).

16bamagirl, if you haven't figured it out by now, you should quit posting until you read through several threads, both the Alabama ones and the ones that are stickied on the recruitment forums.

Jeez 16bamagirl, finish High School, get your braces off, apply and then get accepted to Alabama and then ask all of your questions. If you do all that, then read through all of the Bama threads. There's enough Bama info on here to fill a very large book!

plus 16bamagirl, msrkrabs is smarter than to post anything more than general information at this point in her daughters recruitment.

This is also true for Kappa. I told my girls up front that me being their mama would only get them back in the door of the Kappa house for the second round, but then after that, they would be on their own.
Actually, I think I told each when she was in 9th grade that I could not "get her in" a sorority, that she needed to make sure the ladies in town liked her and would be willing to rec her before they went off to college. I was doing my part, but they had to do their part too. As a result, I think they learned a lot at a younger age.

I just felt the urge to bump it. Too bad OTW isn't still here. I never enjoyed her tormenting a pleebe so much, and think I had a few snorting spells too.
