My first exposure to the Auburn rush scene was when my daughter and I visited the campus last year. It happened to be a mother/daughter weekend for the campus sororities and we were able to meet several mothers and daughters. All of them had the same feeling about rush at Auburn, and they all said that as parents you just have to steel yourself. They all said that the girls are under so much pressure both emotionally and physically (excessive heat, lack of sleep) that they just will break down and loose perspective on the whole situation. Is it really worse than at non-SEC schools? I have no idea. All I know is that it is common for Auburn parents to get tear filled phone calls from their daughters throughout the week. I should think that it is the same at other schools. What makes SEC recruitment so much different? Perhaps a thread to prepare parents for what they may face when their child rushes would be a good idea. Not only can we lay down expectations but also give advice on how to positively react when things go badly. That's just my two cents! ( however, I really want to know why SEC rush is so different?)
