I know for a fact that I'm much more stressed over this recruitment for my daughter AND her friends than I was when I was going through rush decades ago. In large part, it's the schools themselves. Greek environments vary from campus to campus in terms of percentage of Greeks, perception of Greeks etc. The other stress factor is the proliferation of listserves like this. Although I would rather have too much information than not enough, the advice is often contraindicatory to say the least.
I think proudmom has written this much more eloquently than I could ever begin to communicate. I hope all the moms and daughters read this and really take it to heart.
