She knows that her chances at a COB are slim to none and she's fine with that but right now she is still interested in the new chapter, Theta? Who knows, by then she may be so strapped for time with her crazy class schedule that she will change her mind.
She's already talking about some club on campus she wants to join and maybe try out for Tigerettes or the basketball hostess (forgot what cute name they had) or a bunch of other stuff. She will be okay. I know she will and I know that greek or not, rush week was a good experience for her and a great way for her to meet people and learn her way around campus a little bit, and maybe learn a little something about herself. She has talked about doing this rush since she was a junior in high school. She was really excited about it but in the end it just didn't fit her like she thought it should.
Thank you all for the kind messages this week, it has been a long, strange week for sure.  Her roommates are still in it so I will update on them next week. One is suiciding tri delt (legacy) and I don't know about the other. Another good friend who just transferred to AU got dropped from her last group today before prefs. Another local girl who was a freshman rush at Bama was dropped by all houses either today or yesterday, another mom I spoke with told me today - her husband is a colleague of the girl's dad. I was surprised by that one, she is a cookie cutter sorority girl for sure. But like we've seen this week, you just never know and the competition is mad tough!
LMAO! Its a lady I saw at the hair salon on Tuesday who was going into fits because her baby didn't get invited back to her top 2 after the 1st cuts. She didn't shut up about it the entire time I was there - which was a long time because I got highlights! I mentioned her somewhere in this post or the Bama post or the SEC post, somewhere.  |
AuburnMom08, Kudos to your daughter for being true to herself if she wasn't able to find the right fit during rush. Sounds like both of you have a great perspective on the situation. If she decides that she wants to try COB, please encourage her to look into it. Contrary to what some have said, there were at least three very strong groups at Auburn who were under chapter total despite making quota, and they pledged girls after formal rush ended last fall & spring. Of course this year could be different, but who knows?
