I've walked in your shoes.

AUMom I was in your shoes after Auburn rush a couple of years ago and I know how hard this time must be for you and your daughter. My daughter's roomate and suitemates, and it seemed everyone at the time, got their first choice. After receiving her bid, my daughter was very upset and disapointed, but decided to get to know the girls in "her" sorority better before making any final decisions. After a couple of weeks she finally told us that she was staying with her sorority and became a sister later that Fall. Looking back, she is very glad that she didn't let her bid day emotions overwhelm her, and now she has developed close friendships with several of her sisters and has had a blast during her time at Auburn. Not being Greek doesn't preclude that experience, but it is a nice safety net.

As someone else already stated, your daughter loses nothing by spending some time to get to know these girls who have invited her to join them, but she may miss out on some great friendships and experiences if she makes a decision while she is still emotional and hurting. Praying for a great outcome!
