Sorry- stopped for lunch! Let me try to respond to the comments.
Violet pretty said it right!
She suicided and went unmatched. She was offered one COB bid and declined. She was offered a bid from another group, and is thinking about it.
Am I kidding? No, I am just stating the facts. It is difficult to make an 18 year old see things the way we older girls do. I know, and you know, it ought to be based on the personalities only, but it is not. Both in the rushing sorority and the rushee. That is one of the things that matters to a girl just out of high school. Believe you me, I have told her it is her decision and to please make it based on how she interacts with these other girls. I also want to give her some idea of what she may face if she turns this down. I don't think the sororities she would like to be in (there are actually 10 of the 16 she in interested in, just had a top pick) offer COB bids and take very many upperclassmen. I also pointed out that the 2 sororities who have offered bids may not look at her next year.
I guess I just needed other girls who understood what I am feeling here. Helpless and seeking to say the right thing to help my daughter make the best decision.
My reason for coming here was to seek out information on the liklihood of upperclassmen getting in. I was not trying to find her a place. That is not my responsibility. I have only been to the campus 2 times as it is.
