Hi - I have been reading he Auburn posts. My daughter is rushing at Bama. I am interested in the fates of all your rush girls. My daughter is doing what they say is average right now, and I am so grateful. She just finished Philanthropy days. She is not able to talk right now but I am eager to hear the results. I am going off tommorrow so I can be there when the news hits on Sat or Sunday. What is a good number going into Philanthropy? Does anyone know what is good going to skit day? Should you try to prefer the most popular chapter? or should you go for your next favorites? At the end of the day she feels she could be happy either way. Also what do you do about chapter you really have not connected with but you still get asked to?

A full schedule is not important. Your daughter can only pledge ONE sorority. When I was a Rho Gamma, one of my PNMs only had one chapter for preference, and I was getting all prepared to console her for potential disappointment, but she was thrilled because it was her favorite and she ended up there. If you daughter has chapter(s) that she likes on her schedule, and is still willing to give others that she feels so-so or not so hot about a second (or even third) look, that's all that matters.

She should rank her favorite chapters in order of HER preference, wherever her preferences may lie.

You go back. Unless you want to screw yourself over (some campuses will release you from recruitment if you blow off a party unexcused; at others it will remove you from eligibility to guarantee a match after preference). And if you're really smart, you'll try to give them another chance to keep your options open.

Update

Just got text message from daughter. No one cut her today, so she's going to her top three from yesterday's parties.
