Also, Elaine, I'm sorry that it seems to you like your sister & her friend are having such a horrible recruitment. However, I happen to think that getting invited back to 5 sororities at an SEC recruitment this close to bid day is great! You need to tell her this and stop being so negative. You need to keep her spirits high and tell her how awesome it is to have 5 sororities like her this much, rather than dwelling on the ones that cut her. I mean, there are tons of other girls who would love to be in your sister's position (who may have gotten cut from all of the groups or have less choices than your sister). Please be more encouraging to her. As others have said, this is an SEC recruitment --- it is extremely competitive! Just because your sister has been cut by some groups, doesn't mean that she isn't stellar. But the thing is, there are hundreds of stellar girls going through recruitment at Auburn. I happen to think that ALL chapters at SEC schools (even the ones that may be considered "bottom tier" chapters) would be considered excellent and top chapters at other schools around the country. That's just the way it is. Anyway, best of luck to your sister & her friend, and I really do hope you give them more positive thoughts rather than negative, and I hope they stick it out til the end. If they keep much more of an open mind, they could end up very happy on bid day.
And I'm so glad that AuburnMom's daughter is having a good recruitment and likes most of the chapters that she has left. That is a great sign! I'm glad she has kept such an open mind.
Good luck to all the girls at Auburn still in recruitment! Please stick it out til the end. You may very well end up where you belong, even if you don't see it right now.  |
Actually, the things you have said are the EXACT things I have been telling my sister, however, my sister isn't on this message board and this is a thread about the progression of the Auburn recruitment process this year, not a "rah, rah" thread. I am expressing MY feelings about what has been going on, NOT my sister's. Actually, I shouldn't use the word "expressing" and probably use "venting" to more acurately describe what I am doing. I'm sorry if you misunderstood or thought I was posting a transcript of my conversations with my sister, because that couldn't be farther from the truth. I'm not sure if you have read this entire thread or just based your comments on my one post, but I assure you I am very aware of SEC recruitment and all that comes along with it. I also assure you that I wouldn't be on this board if I didn't love my sister and want the very best for her. I know the very best thing for her concerning rush is for me to use this board as an outlet for my frustrations and save my "rah, rah" speeches for my conversations with her. I appreciate your extreme positivity, but I think you should probably use it to encourage the people in this thread who really don't know what this process is all about.
