My D's rho gam said she would only make calls if they didn't have a bid. My daughter hasn't reported anything. She was going to shower and try to get her homework out of the way to distract from the wait. She had a hard time sleeping last night. I am sure the waiting and anticipation is tough.

I followed and then sent a message to the kid who did the live tweeting last year Ha! He has not responded...probably thinks I am some nut. I have an appointment during bid reveal time that I cant change, so I won't know till its over anyways.

Good luck to all the kiddos!

I had to creep over to the FB page and read. I felt like saying your daughter didn't get a bid because she didn't maximize her options. My youngest was not happy with her pref list last year but she stuck through it and still considered dropping for a while because she had a preconceived notion of her chapter. After she FINALLY gave them a chance she loves her house and is happy they gave her a chance. She had her heart set on her Legacy house but in hindsight everything worked out perfect because they have different personalities. She has friends in various Sororities so goes to all their events and they come to hers. One of her good friends that she met at orientation didn't rush and they are still super close and also attends the various events. My older daughters chapter was considered a higher tier but had a very low retention rate by graduation. I believe there were 12 left from her PC. She was also a Rho Gam and still has great connections with some of those girls. Fast forward to now oldest is 2nd year Med School and tiers have no bearing on her life.
I guess the moral of my rambling is that their experience is what they choose to make it. I will be excitedly sitting on the sidelines tonight cheering on your daughters. Cheers!!

I crept over there as well and had the same feeling that you did. My D just texted and said quota was set at 59, so that’s higher than last year. If she heard that right then quota additions would take some pledge classes into the 60’s. That’s a pretty big jump for IU.

If you have snapchat you can go to snap map and pull it up once they start posting it to their stories

I don't necessarily think that SIP-ing is wrong.

If you know you are going to decline/no show your bid day if your bid doesn't read XYZ, it's sometimes for the best.


But I also don't think that PNMs know how matching works to know what the odds are of getting your #1 choice that you SIPed.

If you do, you need to be at least 90% sure that you are someone this chapter wants. Most of the time, you aren't. Or at least not someone they "first bid list" want.

A lot of SIP girls overestimate their desirability in a chapter's eyes.

The most desirable chapters are GOOD at making people feel at home, too. Which feeds into the "omg I am going to SIP because I have to be one." Not realizing that yes, they like you but they probably don't BID DAY like you.

Seeing it on their story. Wish they could post longer video . Nothing on twitter, but there have been a few snap stories! A live feed of this would be much better the the TV options tonight!

Agree. The very first picture from last year on the story, the one in the middle is my d’s Best friend. Funny to see her pop up in the story.

Well I have to say I am glad that is finally over!

. My D got her first choice, that was one of her favorites all along, from before arriving at IU (though she developed some other chapter crushes during rush)...
She is now a proud pledge of AEPhi!

She listened to herself and trusted the process and it all worked out. I think she will be very happy there.

Many thanks for all the great advice and insight into this process! it was very helpful and comforting!

PS
And in the spirit of the other dramas and bigger subjects that came up in this thread due to the C and D, I did go look on IU student life page at the disciplinary lists for chapters, which cover at least a year, and AEPhi does not appear on there Nor did the other chapter that she took to pref...so that was comforting!
