Small detour here:

I'm sorry, but likening recruitment to war is a bit much. Your daughter did not get a bid, and yes, that's hurtful to her and it's hard for you to see her sad, but there is no comparison. Your daughter is still alive.

God, no kidding, big co-sign. I haven't heard an explanation why she was rushing as a sophomore either. If she didn't have a 'good reason' for not rushing as a freshman, couldn't that have hurt her too?

THANK YOU for saying that. Not to trivialize any mother's pain if her very close daughter doesn't get into a sorority, but the analogy really went too far there.

Is the OP a mom or a dad? I immediately thought Sigma Nu, but I know the snake's referenced by Sigma Kappa as well.

I was not under the impression that the OP was even the PNM's parent.
