My daughter was lucky and did get a bid, but she and I both feel badly for the many girls who would have been wonderful additions to the Greek system who did not get a bid. IU Mom, it must be doubly tough for you being so far away. I have shed a few tears for your daughter.
I am grateful for this forum in that it spurred me to call a dear sorority sister I rushed with and reminisce about our own rush. I remember it being fun. We both remember that we felt we were choosing, not being chosen but that was another era. My daughter will likely remember hers being stressful, not fun.
I did not attend IU but was in a new unhoused colony (that has a housed chapter at IU.) It was a wonderfully fun experience. We had an off campus apartment where 4 girls lived. We met there for meetings and just to have fun and work on projects. We were a diverse group but loved each other and had fun bonding experiences. I am sure the IU unhoused chapter pledges will have the same.
