There was a big part of me that wanted to be with my daughter on that day (just in case). And if it a tradition at a school then that is great.

I don't consider reports from friends to be first-hand knowledge. You're repeating what someone else told you, not your own personal experience(s). There are NO UNIVERSALS in recruitment practices. What flies at one campus would be completely out of line on another.

That is not what LadyLonghorn is saying at all. Again, your experience is specific to what chapters? what colleges/universities?

OK, then, very good: let's see the data. Specifically, universities/colleges, and evidence to support the claim(s) being put forth.
I am not flaming or arguing; instead I am initiating a healthy exchange of information based on facts. The misinformation, memes, and urban legends/myths that get passed around drive me *stark*raving*insane. (Use qualifiers, for the love of Mike.)
