Good thoughts are coming in your direction, and for your daughter. I keep saying "it only takes one" and I know several women who had "one" and it was the Right One all along. When you are in the thick of it, it's so hard to have any perspective or balance. How often have I wanted to know the outcome of the race before I placed my bet, but that is not how it works.

/side note: my sister went through recruitment at my university when I was a senior and she was a freshman. I was positive she would go with another chapter. Honestly, at the time I was fine with it, and to this very day I think/know that that chapter was a better fit for her than mine. They pursued her, wooed her, preferenced her; and in the end, she went to my chapter. I was quite shocked, as was everyone else in that chapter. She ended up transferring after her junior year and not affiliating where she transferred (no chapter there). My sister was always in my footsteps her entire life, and I believe (as does she, I think) that she would have been happier had she gone in a different direction. Well, we live life forward and understand it backwards, don't we?
