Congrats to all the new members at Auburn, with special hugs to my new Alpha Xi sisters, and the new members from the New England area!
Auburnmom - I never participated in formal rush (I was clueless about the Greek world and didn't even know that rush had happened until after I saw the girls in white dresses...). Anyway, a class friend brought me to a COB event in January of Spring semester. I knew virtually no one in a sorority, until I went to the COB event, and found out a girl I used to carpool and perform with in HS (a year older than me) was a member!
Not sure if that helped or hurt (because we had had a one of those boy-related tiffs in HS), but I indeed found my home in Alpha Xi Delta.
If your daughter does find a home with one of the sororties, or finds her college family in another way (and it looks like 75% of girls find their niche elsewheere), best of luck to her. Auburn is a fantastic establishment and just going there is an incredible opportunity.
