You're right that the mutual selection thing is overblown. But the fact is these are private organizations who get to choose whoever they want for their groups. There is not an objective list of criteria where the girls are theoretically lined up like the NFL draft. The mutual part in that is that the rushee gets to take what she gets. or not.

At IU that problem is exacerbated because not only do the chapters decide who to invite into membership, but they also pre-determine the size of the chapter they want. At virtually ever other school with an NPC system, the size of the chapter is determined by the number of girls going through and completing the process.

And seriously, your alternative is to send your daughter to a school with a less traumatizing rush process. And hell, Alabama is less traumatizing. So ANYWHERE is easier to deal with than IU.
