Something about this bothers me. If you have to go to these great lengths to have your daughter go through Rush, I see a problem. If you've taught your daughter manners and basic social etiquette, why would you need this?
And unless she's a legacy, why would you care what group she ended up in (and even if she is a legacy, it shouldn't matter)?
Granted, I'm in Texas and not the SEC so maybe I don't understand how Recruitment works there?

For the same reason that parents send their daughters to expensive private schools/dancing lessons/deb balls/summer camp etc etc etc. Yes, many of the daughters would probably be fine on their own but some parents feel like they have to give every advantage....although I don't think the biddies are. They seem more like something a "nouveau Southerner" (as in nouveau riche) would use.
And again...this article is in Jezebel, people. I put it on the same level as Alexandra Robbins and Pledged, quite frankly.
