It would really help if she could talk to some sorority members that have done it.

She will text me how many houses she got asked back to tonight after her pi chi group meets. She is hoping she does not get asked back to a lot. I fear she might throw in the towel if she is overwhelmed.

I also think homesickness and left boyfriend are starting to catch up to her.

I just want to throw this out there because I see the terminology being used wrong all the time:

She is not choosing "five to drop." She is indicating to Panhellenic that those are the 5 that she would least like to return to.

When people call it "to drop" it gives PNMs the impression that those houses you list will NEVER show up on your list again. They most certain can.

If any of those she ranked in her Top However Many Parties She Could List choose not to invite her back. She would see some of those chapters she placed on her lower ranked list in her schedule.

I just wanted to clarify that because often, PNMs will get their lists and be like "HOW IS XYZ ON IT? I DROPPED THEM YESTERDAY!" not realizing that they didn't "drop" anyone. They just listed them low. Best of luck to your daughter!
