Granted, the OP's daughter was the only one there but maybe they just didn't have that many in their town??? Or all the others already had their recs lined up. I'd be willing to go to one of these as the person from my GLO. Doesn't sound too much different than the couple of days I spent in Tuscaloosa in summer of 1963 being schlepped around by my aunt (who lived there) to have tea, cookies, lunch, brunch, whatever with her friends who were in the sororities at Alabama. We just did it one by one instead of all at one event.

Well I am very familiar with that kind of party and that involves someone who knows you or your family a little better in some way not some random ladies getting together for a girl they don't know. I'm not saying it didn't happen just that it's a little strange. The thing I thought was creepy was the way she described the lady making her daughter stand up and turn so they could examine her like a prize pig and proclaim she would do fine at her sorority. My momma and I would not be ok with people doing that and definitely not be bragging about it to strangers on the internet. It's weird to me that she talks about her and her other daughters only being sorority alums and it seems really detached for someone who is so into it that she is all over the place here suddenly giving advice about recruitment. I don't think this experience is typical at all.
It is also pretty obvious what school this lady is talking about so it might be better to not go into so many details that could embarrass people or get them recognized or something.
