My daughter will be starting recruitment in 2 weeks at a competitive school (not SEC), but with 13 sororities for 1100 rushees. I went through rush at the same school 30 years ago and joined a sorority I loved. I had a blast during rush, even though I was cut by some of my favorite sororities (I wish I had paid more attention to my grades in hs.) Anyway, I'm with "proudmom" on the fact that I'm so anxious for my daughter, but excited as well. I know how disappointing it can be to get cut by a house that you love, and we moms don't like our children hurt. We all know that our daughters are the smartest and the cutest, but we can't hold their hands during rush (I would if I could!). I too, like "proudmom" have helped with recs, clothes shopping, advice (probably too much), and now after finding this wonderful network, realize that I need to back off and put this all in my daughter's hands. She is a capable young woman, and I need to let her guide her own destiny. I will still be a wreck from Aug. 13-18, and will try try try not to offer anything but a sounding board, and pray that she finds her happy home. I'm hoping also, that being a legacy won't hurt her chances. I have absolutely no strong feelings about her joining my house, and have conveyed that to her explicitly. Anyway - good luck to your daughters, good luck to you moms on keeping your sanity during the process, and good luck to the dads and brothers who have to deal with us all!! Happy Rushing!!
