maximizing your options probably means different things to different people. at some schools the scenario that you mentioned is the way it is. you must attend every party you are invited to or your are dismissed from recruitment by panhellenic-even if some of your invitations are to chapters you "tried to drop". it also means keep going and stay in recruitment, even if you are not invited back to your favorite chapter or if you don't have a full days worth of parties. It means listing all the sororities that you attended pref. with on your card. it means going to bid day even if you received a bid from your #2 or #3 choice. It also means giving your new member period a chance.

you daughter is correct. it is not the same as when we mamas rushed. chapters are not required to bid legacies, and there are so many legacies going thru at some schools, even if the chapter loved them all, they could not pledge them all.
