She has decided that she IS going to be in XYZ. She's been to all the pre-rush events that occur at a deferred recruitment school, and she just knows she'll get XYZ. As a Greek, albeit at a different school, I know this isn't the case. What can I do to let her know that her bid isn't assured? I really don't want to see her upset- I'd rather she realize this ahead of time rather than when she gets her invites.
