Daughter Going Through Rush at UT Knoxville

[ZetaBeta]

Good luck to your daughter! I was in the same situation last year. This year my daughter will be on the "other side" of rush at UTK. We had a long talk yesterday about how it had all transpired. Like your daughter, mine was a legacy. However, she cut it after the first round. She didn't want to lead them on....I see now that was the best option. Can't say it didn't hurt at the time, but it was her life and her rush. UT has 13 wonderful sororties. Your daughter will find the one that fits. My daughter has been extremely pleased with her choice. But, she did say that she would have been happy at any of the three she attended for pref. Good luck, be supportive and most importantly, listen. Don't give opinions, just be there when she needs to vent. It's a stressful week, but well worth it!

YES.

If more parents understood this, the world would be a happy place.

There would also be happier moms and daughters at the end of recruitment.

And fewer heli-moms on GC.

What was the best fit for you (however many years ago), MAY NOT be the best fit for your daughter (who is many years younger than you and a completely different person).

You should write a book.
