Auburn Mom 2007,
My daughter rushed at Auburn this fall also, so I know how tough the process can be. Auburn's literature does read "recs are not necessary; we'll find them if we need them for your daughter" but at Auburn if your daughter is average (and I mean no disrespect by this as the average Auburn rushee has a 3.8 GPA, 10 different high school activities and is beautiful), it is hard to rush without them.
I am sorry your daughter was dropped from rush. My heart goes out to you and to her. I know how tough that can be, especially when you enter Rush not realizing how tough it can be.
However, and I realize that this may not be a consolation for you or your daughter, if your daughter entered Auburn Rush with no recs and made it as far as having a full party invite list on pref day (3 parties on Pref day), she (and you) should be proud! Making it all the way through to 3 parties on pref with no recs is something to be proud of in the extremely competitive world of Auburn Rush!
Whatever your daughter decides to do (and like the others, I wish her all the best), I guess the message I am trying to pass along is the same as the other women, "it wasn't her, it is the system"...
Good luck and WAR EAGLE!
