AuburnMom09 - This is such an emotional time for all involved. Your daughter sounds like she has a very mature head on her shoulders, you should be very proud of her. However, it may be that those girls that feel they are getting treated in a less welcoming manner at certain sororities may just have a really poor recruiter/rusher/whatever they are called now. Certainly some girls are going to get 'rushed' harder than others, remember that there are sororities that want your daughter just as badly as she may want them. I hope she bases her decision on her own experiences and not the experience of others. There are things about rush that are difficult and may seem harsh, but no one has ever claimed that it is a fair process. For whatever reason (grades, personality, looks, all of the above), these particular sororities really want your daughter. There are probably hundreds of girls that they want but they can only have so many. Your daughter needs to enjoy her journey, tune out the tent talk, and make her judgments based on her experience, thoughts, and feelings. I doubt that there is an entire sorority full of Mean Girls, just some really, really tired and exhausted and overwhelmed girls.
