This.

I also think parents need to realize that their daughter may very well be AWESOME on paper with great grades, tons of activities, etc. She also may be very well put together and model gorgeous.

But at the end of the day as a mom, you were NOT THERE during recruitment to see and hear her interacting with the sororities and do not know how she presented herself conversation/personality-wise during the parties. You just don't.

She didn't have to necessarily be rude anything, but it's possible that in a recruitment full of very accomplished and great women who were interesting and fun to talk to, she was just not memorable.

When you have 700 or 800 PNMs and need to make cuts, something as simple as members just NOT remembering you can mean the difference between invite and no invite.
