But, her hesitation is that she wanted one of 4 sororities and should she wait to see if something opens up in January? I don't think any of the 4 give COB's from what I have heard.
This isn't going to happen at Auburn, at least with the groups that you and your daughter deem worthy of her.
I am so afraid that my pushing her to take this bid it is a bad idea.
It is your daughter's decision. Advise her if she asks, but push her?
In fact, we have 2 aunts who are both involved in their sororities at the national level. That didn't make any difference as that sorority dropped her.
Why should it make a difference?
I do think that some of the sororities knew which one she wanted from the start and that hurt her.
Hmmm. How would they have known that unless she told them? She did not maximize her options and set her sights on apparently unachievable goals in an ultracompetitive southern rush.
My biggest question is this? How can I find out the odds for a sophomore to get a bid at Auburn? The office is closed today and I don't even know if they can tell me or not what the statistics are.
Why are you doing this? If it's that important, why isn't your daughter making the call? It would only be a number and rush is about individuals. If your daughter is set on XYZ and they extended a bid to two Sophs, would that be enough to make her want to try? How about three? This isn't Vegas. This is the next four years of your daughter's life.
My daughter has always been popular and was in homecoming, a cheerleader and very outgoing and involved. She is a classic beauty and is not used to being the little fish in a big sea
This describes 99% of the girls rushing at Auburn. But they also grew up in places like Mountain Brook, went to the same schools and their daddies have played golf together at the same club for years.
She worries that the sorority who has given her this bid may not be where she fits in......
I doubt this is the issue at all. You seem much more concerned about
her not being in a lower tier sorority that is somehow beneath her. You know, the ones that have to COR now.

I apologize to the other fine Greek Chatters for my lack of decorum, but the constant thwack thwack thwack of the helicopters over the past couple of weeks has turned my brain to mush. If indeed this poster isn't yet another spoof.
