Random: Recruitment
So I'm feeling antsy and starting this thread. Recruitment starts in about 9 weeks. My sixth daughter is rushing at a school where she's a legacy to at least one group and her best friend is in another.
Two things I consider to be myths:
1. You will end up where you're supposed to.
This may happen at some schools but at big (think SEC) schools, deserving people don't- just because of numbers. Fabulous women end up bidless. Women who should have ended up in house A, B, or C end up in X, Y, or Z. A lot. Some end up happy anyway, others don't.
2. Legacies always get a fair shot at their legacy houses.
Recently, the majority of legacies we know have been cut from their legacy house, especially if they were from out of state. Please don't count on a bid from your legacy house; stay open-minded.
Boy, this sounds depressing and I don't mean it to! However, I've watched 5 daughters and dozens of their friends rush since 2000 and hardly anyone ended up where they thought they would. I guess what I want to say is: don't go into recruitment saying that you're definitely going AB or CD.
Who else has a random comment to make?
