While waiting for bids to be opened at Auburn a few years ago, I struck up a conversation with another mom. She pointed out which girl her daughter was and this girl did not look like the "traditional size 0 sorority girl." Mom also mentioned that daughter had tried to keep an open mind but really had her heart set on a particular chapter--one that lots of girls really wanted (and one that had dropped my size 2, but rather shy daughter.) Sure enough, that's the chapter she got a bid from. Mom's personality was big, open and fun to talk with so if daughter was anything like Mom, it was easy to see why she got a bid from a "top house."
