Daughter is a legacy and was cut

[irishpipes]

By having every group attend, UNC may be attempting to de-stigmatize spring recruitment, as well as letting PNMs know that there are more choices so that they can make informed decisions about spring recruitment versus fall formal. (We get a lot of new members posting that they accepted a COB bid without checking out any other groups and have buyer's remorse.)

Your daughter needs to prepare herself for the reality that it will never be easier as a sophomore - she needs to know her options may be even more limited than they were the previous year. Although UNC isn't as competitive as the SEC, she should plan to have recs for every chapter. She will need to evaluate before recruitment if she would be comfortable accepting a bid to a chapter that isn't "top tier." The tier mentality is difficult for a 19 year old to ignore, but it may preclude her from having a great greek experience. In that same vein, she would be wise to seriously consider the groups recruiting this spring. I think the legacy chapter ship has sailed - she needs to pretend they aren't on campus and look at the other chapters as if they are the only options.
