Remind her that in the future when she isn't hired for that perfect job that she wants, people are not "whispering about her like a leper or something".

Rejection is part of life. Recruitment prepares you for that.

In all reality (and I'm sure you know this as moms), once recruitment is over and school starts, Auburn will be filled with the other 70ish% of women who aren't in sororities and wouldn't bat an eyelash if she said she went through rush and didn't get a bid because they don't care.

Yeah, but it's hard to keep perspective when you are in the midst of the process. Imagine having to go back and interact with the same applicant pool for that perfect job for four more days after they cut you loose but kept some of the others.

If she still feels like this in September, then yeah, it's nutty, but right now, to tell your mom? Maybe not.

(Your mom posting it on the internet may be a separate issue; just something to keep in mind, moms. Would she like it if she knew you had reported these particular thoughts?)

Well put. AuburnMom08's daughter is having normal feelings for a 19 year old in an SEC recruitment.
