Ladies (and gentlemen) of GreekChat, first I would like to thank all of you for your responses and help. As I said in my first post, I was in unknown territory as my daughter decided to rush. Your comments and pms were so helpful to both of us.
She has a friend at another school that received only one invite after the first round so my my daughter was aware how quickly the bottom can drop out from under you in this process but she put on her cute clothes, a big smile, and went out to meet, impress, and learn.
The first night of the first round it poured rain and she called me that night laughing, "Oh mom, everyone tried so hard to be cute, but no one was cute tonight!"
She had a strong rush experience receiving the maximum invites to each round. After preference night she got a call from her Rho Omega (that news scared me until I heard) to tell my daughter she had received a bid!
Yea!! She has pledged Alpha Delta Pi!
We have discussed throughtout the process and today again, the close bonds of sisterhood that can develop as a member of a sorority and she can see that already, feeling close and connected to these women. She is meeting new people and making friends and is on a high from it. She is looking forward to tonight where she has her first chapter meeting and I am happy to report that her rush experience was a big success!
As far as the recs went, she obtained recs for four houses. Two dropped her after the first night, one dropped her after the third round and one invited her to preference night. I'm not sure if they played any role in her success but it was great to be in touch with my cousin (we're emailing regularly now) and old friends.
Thank you GreekChat, your experience and advice were very, very helpful. Thank you again.
