I believe that everything happens for a reason and that my daughter will be just fine. I also believe that sometimes processes need to be reevaluated for the good of everyone. I think that Indiana's rush process needs to be rethought.

That's not the kind of networking that is most helpful.
There are tons of campus clubs, activities, honor societies, academic clubs, arts groups, and sports. I would highly recommend that freshmen planning on a winter recruitment do something on campus. It's fun. It gives you an opportunity to network (and make genuine friendships) with sorority women who share your interests. It gives you a fallback position if your recruitment doesn't go as hoped.
Good luck to your daughter.
