Oh, I am soo sorry - I didn't mean to get huffy - I just took offense at the insinuation that my daughter was shallow and immature. I haven't slept much and am tired - I am grateful for the support I have given here. I had noone else to talk to about it and don't want to hound my daughter so that she can make up her mind. Yes, I do know that about the other states, I was responding to the poster who said that it made a difference where she was from. I didn't mean to combine the 2 - Please forgive me

I hope that you can get some rest and feel better. Your daughter had the benefit of your council for 18 years; surely, she's going to make a good decision tomorrow.

It's OKAY if your daughter is shallow and immature. We all were at the age of 17 or 18. I think that you are doing a good job of trying to guide her past that.

It sounds like she took the bid, but a few things that may help her stick with it:

1. Make sure the roomie is not promising her anything. I know of women who depledged a chapter because their roomie promised they would get her in next semester or next year or something. This NEVER works out.

2. You will find countless recruitment threads on here where a woman ended up very very happy in a chapter that was not initially a top choice. My own retro thread is a story like that. Yes, there were times in college, even as a sophomore or junior, when it sucked to not get exchanges with the top fraternities or to have to work twice as hard during rush. But you know what? Every chapter has drama. EVERY CHAPTER. To this day, some of my best friends are women from my chapter. If it helps her to read something like that, point her to GC.
