To the IUmoms: I am so sorry that your daughters are disappointed. All we moms want is for our children to be happy. But......if they are able to put that disappointment aside today, they may find happiness in a chapter where they did not expect to. You all advised your daughters to go in with an open mind and heart and give each chapter they will see today a chance. If you are able to speak to them before they sign their bid cards, you might remind them that here on GC we have read several rush stories where the PNM accepted a bid somewhat reluctantly, but did accept it, and over time, they came to love and cherish the sisterhood they joined. It really can happen, but sometimes those PNMs must sort of make it through their first year, and the second year, as they work with their sisters preparing for recruitment, homecoming and other big events on campus, it clicks for them and they are sold: ABC was the right place for me after all.
