Our family kind of takes recruitment seriously...you'd never know that by my posts would ya!
It was sooooo hard. We ALL cried and cried. She just stayed friends with the girls she met during rush. School was her main focus-she is now a Dr. of Dermatology so you can imagine her intense study habits. She's always had a lot of confidence so being cut like that really took her by surprise.
When she decided to rush again, it was a deliberate decision. Her friends encouraged her, but of course she was nervous. Never the type to look back, she had a good idea who she was interested in and was MORE open to a variety of possibilities than before. (Our town beats the drum on a very few due to tons of alums in certain sororities) Anyway, she was congenial to all and
all were to her. Her second rush was totally different from her first. In many ways she is a good example of why women should give it another try if it's something they really want. Recruitment at A & M is ANYTHING but a cake walk...
