If my pushy recruitment counselor hadn't talked me into continuing with my rush then I never would have found my home that I loved! Also, no one dragged this girl through rush in shackles. She could have listened to the counselor and stood her ground and quit when she felt it was the right thing to do. I have a feeling there is more to the story....
1.Only wanted certain sororities..thus the emotional rush week.
2. Didn't want to be a part of lower tier sorority...reading through the lines, could be wrong here.
3. Thinks she could have done better through COR.....risky move and not likely at Auburn.
The counselors have a tough job. They have been disaffiliated since May, their days are really, really long and boring (longer than PNM's), they are dealing with super emotional teenage girls, they don't get to sleep in their own beds at night (unlike the PNM's), and some of them have to deal with Prima Donna's. I salute these young women for making such a sacrifice in order that your daughter may have guidance and a shoulder to lean on while they navigate this crazy thing called rush.

I totally agree that Pi Chi's have a tough job, and one of the hardest things they might have to do is talk a PNM through a tough situation in order to find
her own solution....especially if the PNM reaches a decision different from the one the Pi Chi thinks she should make. "Pushy" shouldn't be a part of the job description! BTW.....this particular former PNM is about the LEAST prima donna-ish young woman you'd ever meet!
