Rush at Ole Miss can be brutal. It seems almost every girl there was homecoming queen, cheerleader, majorette, class president, top grades and on and on. I must admit I did get that phone call after round one from my daughter saying she had been cut from several houses and wanted to come home. (I had tried to prepare her for possible rejection but it didn't work.)But I told her to stick it out and luckily everything did work out for her. I think the thing that helped her was that she had attended summer school and had gotten to know several sorority members. I do know (at least for Theta) that all the recs are given to the sorority - and not to have them is the kiss of death. Thetas study the recs very carefully. And you are right, it is tough to make such decsions after just a few minutes with the PNMs. This is my daughter's second year of being on the other side and she tells me she always votes with her heart (and her heart does not always agree with everyone elses). Even though rush did not work for your daughter, I do hope that she is having a good experience with the rest of Ole Miss. I feel very good about my daughter being there.
