Hi all....feeling a little crappy today as my daughter was released from rush at 1:30 this a.m. This was her 2nd year going through and while she thought the friendships she had made in several of the houses would be an asset, I guess that it wasn't meant to be. Despite returning to 11 houses rd 2, she was invited back to 2 for rd 3. One of those two more than likely would not have been an option....on either side, so that really left her with 1 possibility. She is more devastated this time around as she felt she had a really good chance and did not go into the process with clear cut opinions on what house she "had" to be in. While friends and family have been supportive, and I certainly believe all things happen for a reason, it's difficult now knowing how upset she is. Fortunately at UGA there are many things to do....it's just that despite only 25% of the student being in greek life, they are just in your face with the things they are doing (which are all good and positive) and when you really want to belong to that group it's like salt in the wound. They play up all the great things about sisterhood, etc. so why wouldn't one want to be a part? Good luck to all out there.....daughter #2 graduates HS this year and should she be at an SEC school and decide to do rush, I think I will leave the country.

Nice chatting with you!

My mom wouldn't have wanted to go through another SEC rush after my UGA experience and my sister's Bama experience. It's just so stressful.

I'm so sorry for your daughter, BeachMom. Is she considering spring recruitment or do you think she's done with the whole process? It's much less high-pressure in the spring.
