Please ignore my user name--it started out as a joke, and now it's just..well, lame.

Anyway, I'm so sorry that I didn't see this thread yesterday.

Re: Flowers

When my daughter rushed, I called around to various gift/flower shops in Tuscaloosa. They were armed & ready, knew exactly what to do. It was a relief to let someone 'in the know' handle it. I am a klutz about this sort of thing, and I didn't want to embarrass my daughter or overstep my bounds...

May be too late for this advice, but perhaps that's something you could do.

Re: BeeBadger's question:

Hope it works out for your daughter. I know it can be agonizing when you're on the sidelines. My daughter's roommate dropped out of rush beginning of frosh year, and didn't try again. She has since expressed some regret that she didn't, but still has maintained friendship with many of the girls that she met during rush.

Anyway-- good luck to your daughter!
