I mean, I can pay my dues with no problem, it's just my dads not a CEO thing that worried me.

Where did you get the idea that one's father need be a CEO in order for you to go through recruitment?

While I am certain that there are some wealthy girls rushing at some of the larger southern schools, it's impossible for ALL of their dads to be comapny CEOs (what are the odds that 800-1000 young women's parents are all incedibly wealthy?).

I am going to try to say this with out being taken the wrong way. I had a fantastic rush...I loved every minute of it. I was poor, and somehow overcame it without even trying. I didn't even realize how poor I was which might have helped. The thing about it is that money doesn't define class. Good manners and good judgement do. So what if girls flash around in BMWs! Just think how life is going to be for them after graduation. If they are going to be measured, they should be measured by their own success not by the success of their parents. I have been very fortunate. My daughter was able to live a life that I never even knew existed at her age, and she goes out of her way to not show it. She drives a beat up Volvo with a dent in the side and the brakes squeek so loudly that it's a joke. I can't stand looking at it, but she won't let me even get the dent repaired. She is in a fantastic sorority and no one would ever know how she lives when she is not at the University. Just be yourself and be proud of who you are. Study hard, volunteer, get a great job and remember that the success you have may not even me measured in dollars. Don't ever be ashamed of where you came from.

I wasn't being serious.
It was just an example of how I was stereotyping.

most people are not going to care that your dad is a sheriff and you mom owns a hair salon. i am sure you are proud of your parents-your dad is in law enforcement and helps keep his community safe and your mom is a business owner-not a lot of women can boast that they own their own business!

most of the girls you meet are going to care more about the things that were written in the previous posts. just be yourself, put your best foot forward-keep an open mind, don't listen to "tent talk" or believe the stereotypes and you should be alright. good luck!
