I am just so very sad. I have just talked to my daughter's friend that pledged a couple of weeks ago at ASU. She was so excited about being in a house, but as happens many times, feels like there is no connection. Her big sister has done nothing to try to help her really meet the actives or really get to know her, for that matter.
I am going to see her this weekend and have a heart to heart. I know it is a bit more difficult at ASU as they do not have houses and do not dine together on a nightly basis. This is very foreign to me and must make it very hard to build a sisterhood.
I know there are a certain percentage of girls that drop after pledging, I cannot help but think that if as much effort is put into their pledgeship (is that term still used) to "rush" the new members as was put into recruitment, then more would be retained and really get a feel for what sisterhood is all about.
