To Heart to Heart: "...she finally broke down and told one of the ladies that another sorority was her favorite. We will never know for sure if she was cut from that chapter that night because of what she reveled to that Alum, or if the actives just didn't have her high enough on their list. "

Not to diminish your daughters experience -- but given the competitive nature of OM Rush -- those Alums were likely focused on helping their chapter make quota. Let's be honest. Your daughter wasn't sold on that chapter who cut her. And her being honest allowed another PNM on the list who may not have gotten there otherwise. I'd call that a good outcome. The only thing your daughter sacrificed was bragging-rights for hitting the top-tier lottery. These days that's likely harder and harder to achieve. She can only accept one. The girls I fret about are the ones that OM Alums don't pursue and pester.

If the only problem your daughter had during rush was being "pressured" by pushy Alums -- then she must have had a great rush. Your complaints sound suspiciously like bragging. Which is a bit off-putting. I read your comments from last year. More of the same.

Ole Miss rush is always the one to watch. It also happens to be the most civil vis-a-vis other SEC recruitments. I'm sure this year will be no exception.
