Southern Miss recruitment

[phimu88]

Me too! Thanks, she was invited back to her top 5 picks today! She sounded exhausted tonight! Skit parties are tomorrow and she is struggling on cutting out one of the sororities. I just wish I could help her choose! I dont know how to guide her through this without bringing my own biased views into this. I was a phi mu 20 years ago at Ole Miss ... different times, different schools, different girls, but the stereotypes of the individual sororities back then still pop into my head now... weird isnt it? So I dont want to say anything that will make her think I am preferring one sorority over the other. She is feeling the stress a bit. I can hear it in her voice. One of her good friends got cut from Phi Mu and Tri Delt today ... my daughter didnt get cut from any that she listed as her top 5 so she is feeling bad for her friend ... its going to get worse each day, as far as cuts and hurt feelings go, I dont know how to prepare her. I just hope she isnt the one getting hurt. ohhhh the ups and downs of rush... and I have 2 more daughters to go after this one lol.

phimu88. i feel you angst. two years ago i was in your shoes (but my daughter attends a different school.) in some ways i think it is harder on the moms, because we don't know what is actually going on. the advice i gave my daughter was to try to get to know as many members in each group as she could, and look at the pnms at the parties she attends. could she see herself eating lunch with these girls, piling into one of their rooms to watch a movie, or call one when she has a fight with her boyfriend. like you i tried to stay away from discussing the actual sororities-i was afraid that my bias would show.

please let us know where your daughter ends up. good luck to her!
