Sad recruitment story

[karmelgirl]

Thanks all....I think they have informal in the fall
but only a few houses participate....based on house quota I think. It might be an option. After things quiet down I will check. Her roommate is pledging also, so that is not making it easier, although thankfully they have a great relationship.

Why would you check into informal recruitment for your daughter, rather than having her do it herself?

Just a question.

If your daughter is into acting, then she REALLY needs to get used to the idea of rejection, quick. If it breaks her that much, then she really should find a different interest because rejection happens frequently in that area.

I'm sure she's disappointed, but I can't conceive of a way that she could've done both at the same time- it would've been really tough to be in a production and pledge at the same time, AND keep up with her grades.

I think it is time to continue to support your daughter and be there for her, but step back and let her be an adult and deal with these things on her own.

I question whether she really wanted to be Greek all that much. Maybe she was just going through to make you happy, and didn't think it was really for her? After all, you're the one posting on here about her experience, not her. Just a guess, but it may not be too far off from the truth.

I read that as "after things quiet down (with her) I will check (with her)."

Meaning she'd check with her daughter. Why would she have to wait until things quiet down to call the school? (OH GOD OP please don't call the school!)

Hopefully she meant the former.

And LOL at the bolded.

This one is a good one for PNMs and their moms to read before recruitment so they can be forewarned that not every recruitment is all rosy.

Same reason why would mom post here when it's her daughter going through recruitment.

For goodness sake, what is that link? I think it's appropriate bc the daughter is a "complete package".
