To further add "what ifs"...
talked to a greek friend who was in my sorority at an SEC school in the 70's. Her subdivisions is full of transplants from other parts of the country.
She spoke to two mothers in her subdivision over the weekend whose daughters were rushing at Auburn. The mothers had already picked the sororities for the girls before they set foot on campus. The mothers only secured recs from certain houses and had "tent talked" their daghters into only certain houses before they got to campus.
My friend said when she "enlightened" these transplanted mothers, the look of horror on their faces were priceless. She said it reaffirmed to her its better to let your daughter decide to go where she feels comfortable.
P.S. none of these girls went into prefs with a full card of invites. (ie they didn't maximize their options)
I find this a disturbing trend.
p.s. these mothers weren't greek & didn't have a legacy connection to pass on.
