Recruiting 2nd year student (TXTech)

Anyways, I know nothing of Tech...but O.U. really impressed me in terms of sorority's. Tech might also be the wrong place. Anyways, I am just doing homework on Tech at the moment

EXCUSE ME? Wrong place for who? Her or you? Who cares if OU sororities impressed YOU?

I've heard of Helicopter Parenting, and we even had a Helicopter Boyfriend recently...but Helicopter Relatives? Wow.

The girl's going to college to get an education. Let her choose whatever interests HER. You mentioned something about 2nd year student. There must be a reason why she hasn't given recruitment a try yet, right?

Depending on the campus and how competitive recruitment is, upperclassmen sometimes get cut pretty hard. So if you're shoving all this down her throat, chances are, you might very well be setting her up for disappointment. I obviously didn't go to Texas Tech, but I know there are several Texas Tech alums here who might be able to provide some information.

If she wants to rush, let her do her own homework. Don't do it for her. If my cousin tried to persuade me into doing something I didn't already feel like doing, I'd be very resentful and less likely to the thing he wanted me to do.
