And don't kid yourself that subjectivity is limited to big Southern schools. I'll go out on a limb and say that most don't know what a debutante is, don't care where you're from, what your parents do for a living, what your activities resume looks like or what your SAT score is. They care about how you present yourself and whether or not they think they want to spend the next four years hanging out, studying, sharing laughter, tears and a bathroom with you.
If you've got a legacy going thru recruitment the best advice you can give her is to be herself, try to make the best impression she possibly can, give every chapter serious consideration, and know that whatever happens you'll be so happy for her and supportive of whatever works out for her.
