What I mean to say is this. I KNOW my daughter is a wonderful person and would be an amazing addition to any sorority at Auburn. I was a little bit ill when I wrote that first comment this morning. What I meant by her doing something wrong is that just maybe she didn't talk enough or ask the sororities enough questions about themselves or something. She has always been just a little bit on the shy side. She has an amazing resume and although her grades could have been a bit better (3.5) I am hearing stories of girls with lower GPAs that got bids. When you want something bad enough in life you have to learn to put out 110 percent effort to get it. All I meant was that maybe she didn't put out the effort she should have. I have always pushed my girls to work as hard as they can because that is just a lesson you have to teach your kids in life. To try their hardest at everything. And the other thing I meant was that maybe it would have been easier for her at a different university to get into a sorority. I have not given up on Auburn though. I am sincerely hoping she will find many activities to get involved in on campus. There are a lot of non Greek organizations that she can get involved in if they will let her. I was just under the impression that it was a lot easier to be connected to things if you were in a sorority. I definately don't want her sitting in the dorm all day on the computer or whatever. She is a wonderful girl that has made me very proud. You all don't know her or some of the things she has been through in her life. You don't know what my life has been like either. For her to even be at Auburn is an amazing accomplishment for her. She is just an amazing person and I am not just saying that because I am her Mother. Many people in our community have seen her in that same light. She is disappointed but she isn't giving up by a long shot. I haven't raised her to give up. I hope you all can see where I am coming from. And yes to be in a sorority is a BIG DEAL. If it wasn't a big deal then why bother to go through recruitment. For one thing it will guarantee her a place in a dorm next year which is important also. It will help her make some good quality friends because like I said she is a little shy. And it also teaches one responsibilities, giving to the community, traditions, respect for oneself and others. There are LOTS of reasons to pledge a sorority and honestly I can't think of a single one not to. Maybe some folks don't feel that way but that is just the way I feel.
Ok. I won't write anymore on here.
Most of you have been very helpful and concerned and thoughtful and for that I am grateful and appreciative. God Bless.
By the way.. I was an Alpha Sigma Tau in college back in the day. I wouldn't take NOTHING for that experience and probobly wouldn't have lasted in college a semester without my sorority sisters and my duties.
I hope I have clarified a little bit more about what I meant and why I feel the way I do.
