I am usually a lurker on this board but today will jump in. I wonder if the PNM's took the Myers Briggs Personality Type Indicator test what it would show? Would they all be the same type? I think that rushing as an introvert is painful and a killer at an SEC school. Groups need both Queen Bee's and Worker Bee's in order to be successful. The QB has the great plans and is a good "front person" and the WB is the quiet behind the scenes type who can implement the plans making the QB look great. I have found this to be true in my experience with Junior League and the Officer's Wives Clubs. When you have a room full of QB's there can be problems. Momto2, I am so sorry for your daughters experience. I feel your pain, as it is exactly what I went thru years ago. My introverted daughter (4.45 GPA, Honors College, great resume & looks, size 6, yadda yadda yadda) went to 3 prefs and got no bids at an SEC school. I think rushing was like walking on cut glass for her but she took herself out of her comfort zone and did it. Since she was from out of state (another hurdle) I encouraged it so she could make friends. For her entire life she had been moved every 2 years ripping her away from her friends, dance class, activities etc. After she got "the call" she got involved in a lot of activities and was happy and in Jan. she was COB'd b/c by that time many girls got to know her slowly and realize how great she was.
