I don't think it matters if you were Greek or not when you have a daughter that goes through. It is so different now then it was when I went through in the early 80's. Unless you do volunteer work and understand the voting process today I don't think you can truly comprehend what happens. I know my groups voting has changed since I was in the Chapter. I actually had 2 alumni contact me after Fall Recruitment wanting to know what happened and why their DD's didn't get a bid. When I told them how RFM works they were shocked. To get through round one now you HAVE to have a recommendation even at the not so competitive schools IMHO OR you have to have that 1,000 watt personality that lights up a room so you get noticed. 10-15 minutes is not much time to get to know any one it is all first impressions. I have seen some really great girls get released after the first round with impressive resumes and no recs.
