She decided to drop today.
I decided to ask about COB so she could work on getting her grades up this semester and give her the chance to get to know more people (we are from out of state and she didn't go there with anyone she knows) and hopefully give it another shot during spring semester.
I am very thankful for all the advice and comments...please keep them coming!  |
So, your daughter was a "grade risk" and she didn't "feel a connection" to two sororities who were willing to overlook the fact that she could barely make the grade? Now, you want to know if there will be COB? I hope your daughter realizes that these two sororities that she overlooked, even though she is an admitted "grade risk" are the ones who are most likely going to be doing COB events in the spring.
I just have to say that this entire attitude, at every school--especially in very competitive recruitments like the SEC, blows my mind. I am beyond shocked that girls go in with bad grades or other issues and then get upset when they are not chosen by what they perceive to be the "top" houses due to "not feeling a connection" (which we all know is code word for something else, at least in the case of those who are grade risks). Just wow.
