I think my parents paid for half the house in 4 years of dues for 3 girl's !! She had recs at many houses. What I think happened was that we are from out of state and she did not really know anyone in a sorority. My daughter is a pretty, intelligent and loving girl. I am not sure how she could have done better when she only spent a total of 30 minutes at each house. I also believe that the houses where she had recs saw that she was a quadruple XYZ legacy and cut her because they assumed she would pledge XYZ. It has been the hardest thing for her. I am not sure of any other situation where 18 year old girls are rejected by so many groups of girls. She did put in for open bid and I am praying she will get one.

I am saddened to read your post; my daughter's roommate has gone through a similar experience. This young lady, like your D is thoughtful, intelligent and gives of herself. She would be a great asset to any sorority. She withdrew her name on Friday and is hoping for open bid or snap (not sure of the correct terminology).
But the point is, this young ladies' self confidence was blown out of the water this week. She felt her self worth had been shredded. Thankfully, she is grounded and has a strong sense of who she will come out of this week with a renewed sense of confidence.
As Momma's we never want our girls to go through this kind of rejection. It doesn't help either that they are about to start classes. This girls are blessed to have wonderful parents like those on this post.
