Oh please! Get a grip. It's not like it's whether or not she'll get the only available heart for a transplant! She'll get a bid. How she deals with the one she gets is an idication of the kind of person she is. That's far more important than whether the computer places you with your first or third choice.

This made me gag.

Every house on this campus is amazing and rush is very competitive. Your daughter is lucky to have a bid in the first place. Any bid means she has had a successful recruitment.

Like some PPs have said, if she can't make the best of whatever she ends up with, that is a reflection on your daughter. And if you can't be okay with whatever happens as long as your daughter is in an environment where she will be able to be happy and grow (which is any sorority at Ole Miss)...well then I have no words.

Stop obsessing and trust the process. Your daughter will end up where she is meant to, and that's all anyone can hope for.

We were trying not to obsess and I'm sorry if you feel my question or concern was inappropriate. I was sitting at lunch with my OOS, no-legacy daughter where 2 friends were telling her that. She was beyond stressed - she wanted it so badly. I trusted the system and keep telling her but I knew how GC worked too: that the wonderful ladies and gents here would quickly set things straight and they did. I showed the answers to DD and told her to please shut her ears and trust in the system. She saw plenty of things that upset her this week -- friends dropped and drop out, getting knocks, she was frazzled. She was given 3 great options and all 9+ options at ole miss are great. She knows that, she believes that and so do I. But she is 18 yrs old and had a preference.

That said, I want to thank all of you here for the information, advice and support. I am so glad I found this site. You were so right about this works and what to expect. I was right more times that I can count when discussing things with other moms. And that was because of the information here. Most of all I kept telling them "it will work out as it should" and "everyone will be where they truly belong".

That's it. I'm done -- until the next daughter, that is.
