Another reason I was so shocked is that DD is not one of these high school queen bees who has had everything handed to her. She's worked hard for things and has had her share of disappointments. This mom knows firsthand that things just don't always pan out -- but boy, there sure appears to be a big blind spot about recruitment.
How sad. Maybe one of you that knows unique snowflake well enough could offer to write her recs and then give her the names of women in other sororities who would write them for her too. Hopefully a nudge in the right direction would go a long way?
