Dear PNM's and their moms

[SwampThang]

I am certain there is another thread which addresses the following, but I am unsure of where it is! As the rush season is in full swing at many schools I wanted to share my dd's experience with her rush. Several of the posters on GC are concerned about not getting their fav house and how if they can't get what they want they will just drop out of the final round. PLEASE don't do this. I know it has been said many times and it is true--you will find the fit that is right for you. DD attends a school out of state. We are in the South and her school is competitive. She didn't know a soul upon arriving and knew that she would rush as a way to meet people and find her niche. She had recs from teachers, friends of family, etc. She had stellar grades, activities, the whole package. As rush began, all the pnms were given notepads with which to write their impressions of the various houses.(I think this is such a good idea.) Day One was great, she really liked several of the houses and was excited about Day Two. Day Two came and went and she was happy that she still had several of her favorite houses to visit. By Day Three, something began to happen to my DD.
