I can't answer that except to repeat that I think SEC rush makes people crazy.
I think we should keep in mind that almost all the moms, sisters, and friends are saying it here on GC because they'd never let themselves say it in real life. It truly is just to vent their worst thoughts.
If you sent your child off to college, and her first big experience seemed to be complete social rejection*, I bet you'd wonder if she was in the right place too.
I have a hard time relating to it completely because I don't have any kids of my own and my own mother was more from the "yeah, that's too bad, now move on" school of parenting, which is woefully underrated today.
ETA: I know this SEC stuff is just weird, but try to be emotionally generous in these cases where we have every reason to accept that we've got a real person here who feels terrible about what just happened to her kid. It's not like she's asking you to sign a petition; you just have to avoid ridiculing her.
(*and it is only that is "seems" this way.)
