My mother was/is the total opposite of a helicopter mom. I went through rush (yes it was eons ago) in order to move out of the house early. She tried to manipulate me into dropping out before I started since she wanted me home for another week to further destroy my non-existent self esteem. She reminded me I would not be invited to join any house because 1) I was not pretty enough for her so the girls would not think me pretty, 2) I was not smart enough for her. I have dyslexia and did not have a 4.0 like she did and the girls would not like that, 3) I am Jewish and there was no Jewish based house on my campus and the other houses all hated Jews, and 4) I was the HS geek/nerd/unpopular girl and no one was going to like me so I should be home so she could remind me of this. Of course, I ignored her for the first time in my life and went through rush. After I signed my preference card I called home:
Me: Hi Mom, if KD offers me a bid tomorrow may I break my dorm contract and move into the house?
Her: What???? You are still in rush?????

Love it. So what did she say when you actually got the bid?
