OK, I am just a mother venting here! My daughter's state school has delayed rush this year until the second week of school; no big deal, or so we thought. She has been looking forward to being a member of the school's dance team, one of the reasons for attend this ACC school. The coach just posted the date for tryouts; yep, they are the same night as Pref night!!
My daughter has emailed back and forth with the coach to see if there might be an alternate date and he has said no; come then or not at all. Of course, he isn't having cheerleading tryouts until the next week after rush!
Now we don't know if my daughter would have even made the team, but she will never know without trying out. She is not willing to give up sorority to try out as she has a better shot of being in a sorority, something she also wants to do. I have no idea if the coach didn't even take other school activities into account, or if rush week being changed was the problem. I can tell you that my daughter has been trying to find out the date of tryouts since last year. She always got the run around from the secretary who would say the date will be posted in the school newspaper, which it was on Monday.
Thanks for letting me vent; I didn't want to be upset around my daughter as she is upset enough. This is one mess that mom can't do anything about and baby bird will have to deal; but boy does it make me mad!!!
tryouts vs. pref night!!
