Are you in Texas? Did she attend any of the summer camps there? My daughter went to Camp Mystic and loads of the counselors were greek. They were always asking her where she got her AXO t-shirts from. Of course, I have a new supply every year because of being around during recruitment. If she has the camp ties that may help her to be on common ground. Just a thought.

One of the main ingredients for success is college is - attendance. My students don't believe me when I tell them that, but it holds true. It's the chicken and the egg, though - do you do better in a class because you always attend, or do you always attend because you are the type of student who makes the effort necessary to succeed? !
Very very true. I started off my undergrad in school A and I would skip class to do other things happened more often that I like to admit. When I transferred to school B, they had a very strict attendance policy. If you miss more then 2 classes at trimester, your are supposed to be dropped from the class. Most teachers will work with you if you have a valid reason to miss more (for example, I had surgery last winter and there was a good chance I would have had to miss more then 2 Thursday classes but my professor said she would work with me) it has to be a good excuse. I had to re-take three classes that my grade didn't transfer over. While better teachers and smaller classes probably played a part in my better grades, the fact that I couldn't just skip class and had to actually be in class or risk getting dropped played a huge part in my grades being a lot better from the first time I took the classes.

I didn't go to Camp Mystic myself but some of my best friends have been counselors there for a few summers.
Sorry, just got excited to see a little something familiar.
