Falling in love with the one that loves you is probably more the "norm" experience than the exception.

She's gots lots of options, and the absolute worst one if she wants to be in a sorority is to drop out.

Can you help her put it in perspective? If there were 10 great guys all standing in a row, and 5 of them didn't ask her out, but 5 of them did, would she give up the chance to date 5 great guys?

In my experience, the chapters they like often change from day to day during rush. Now that her first day favorites are not an option, she can concentrate on the ones who are interested in her.

When my oldest daughter went through rush, her attitude toward a couple houses changed dramatically just because of who she talked to, so I say carry on and see what happens. If you drop out, you already know what happens.

Nothing.

Because of the new release figures method, cuts are harder than they used to be - for this very reason. So the rushees can concentrate on the groups who really want them and not the groups who are so-so on them or stringing them along.

If she doesn't continue, she will most likely regret it...the guy analogy is a good one...I mean I'm sure when a guy didn't like her that she liked she didn't swear off dating.
