Recomendations were also important. We looked at each one. My daughter had at one house 3 recs and a sister rec and was still not invited to a Spring rush party !!
Courtesy was a huge part of my sorority in my day. How sad that times have changed.
The decision to participate in next years rush is up to her. I will not either encourage or discourage. She can make her own decision. She has a wonderful GPA and so many UGA activities. I am so proud of her.

Legacies and recs are still a very important part of recruitment. DG strives to pledge a certain percentage of legacies every year. Also, just because you daughter had recs, does not necessarily guarantee that the recs endorsed her.
I don't know if this is true for UGA, but at UT a PNM who has dropped out of formal fall recruitment previously is much more likely to get cut in recruitment. If she does decide to rush next fall as a sophomore, she will have a very difficult time, but it is possible for her to get a bid.
UGA is an SEC school and let's face it, just about every chapter there is great. Instead of setting her sights on the "biggest and best" houses you should encourage her to keep an open mind through out recruitment. There is nothing better than being Greek and it's an experience that she will carry with her for the rest of her life.
