HELP! Auburn PNM question!

Hi! I don't know much about AU rush, except that it is competitive and that getting a bid as a sophomore is tough. With that in mind, I would recommend that you have your daughter sit down and really think about the house that offered her a bid through COR. Have her think back to rush and think about the things she liked about the house and see if she could picture herself being a member of the house. Remember, she didn't get to meet everyone in the house during recruitment. Panhellenic total is 175, our chapter there had 191 in the spring, I say this not to scare you (or your daughter) but to emphasize that she only met, during recruitment, probably 1% of the houses.

I truly hope your daughter thinks and does decide to give the chapter a chance. They saw something that they wanted in your daughter as a sister of their chapter, that say's alot!

Remember, things happen for a reason, and your daughter not bid matching but receiving these bids could be a sign.

Good post.

Many of the decisions that your daughter made during the process suggest that she wasn't interested in simply joining groups that wanted her as a member. She elected to suicide and turn down one COB. She seems to have very strong ideas about what she wants; perhaps you should just turn it over to her to handle.

The other thing you can do is to review the new member list on the Auburn website and see how many sophomores got bids at the groups she is most interested in.

ETA: sorry, the Auburn list doesn't show class standing. My bad.
