How can we, as alumni, stress any further, the importance of keeping an open mind and letting the process work. It seems like this situation can be worse with some instate/local girls who come in with very specific ideas of the specific houses they "are rushing."

We do our best to do that with our alum panhellenic, during our spring tea.
But some girls just think they HAVE to have a choice among certain houses, and feel that other certain houses are "beneath" them.
They're the ones who, 2 weeks later, wish they had stuck with it.
It's not nearly as bad as it used to be at Auburn. Before RFM, the "big" popular groups would keep everyone for second round. Then for skit, TREMENDOUS cuts, with girls dropping out of recruitment by the dozens.
