justamom---Aieeee! Well, if each of the 13 kids has 13 kids, it could happen!
Lynn, I think it is more stressful for me with my girls rushing than when I rushed. This strange, fatalistic calm settled over me then--like, "Whatever happens will happen." With my girls, I dread their getting hurt. I've seen the pain of rushees on GC and at the various schools I've attended when they think ABC is the chapter for them, this is THE match, and then the invitation to prefs doesn't come. The rush gospel around here is "be open to all chapters".
I get a break for next year and then we'll have 1 rushing in each of the next three years
--if we can convince the current HS sophomore to leave the stables long enough!
Today, all the girls are coming home from their camp counseling jobs. Pandemonium will reign for the next week--loads of shopping trips, late night yackfests until their dad shuts them down at midnight, the phone being tied up until ? with friends and fellow PNMs--then the AOPi leaves next weekend for Pre-Rush and the others leave the following weekend.
Pray for us!
