[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To summarize op, if your daughter will be traumatized if she is not given a bid to a “top” sorority, she should consider whether sorority rush is right for her.  If she is open minded and looking for a group of girls that she might be compatible with, then she will likely do well.[/quote]

The trauma is not about “top houses”. It’s about getting dropped by all but one house (and maybe one they didn’t like) only half way through rush. If that scenario is ok with your DD, then it’s ok. [/quote]

That’s how the process works, both the girls and sororities winnow down so no girl will have more than 3 options on the last night. Other girls may have one or two.  This is all explained to the girls beforehand.

If not getting invited back to any particular sorority is going to be traumatic for a girl, rush isn’t for them.  Some girls aren’t as invested in a particular sorority or are fine with dropping out of rush if they don’t get into the one they want.[/quote]

Do you understand that PP isn't talking about not getting invited back by any particular sorority, she's talking about not getting invited back by any sorority that a girl was interested in. [/quote]

Same difference.  Every girl should enter the process knowing she may not get into the sororities she thinks she wants.  All that is promised to girls who rush to the end is a bid, it may not be their initially  preferred bid.  If that prospect is upsetting, they should not rush, but all of this is explained upfront.[/quote]

Exactly, some girls need to learn that their place is in the reject house. [/quote]

Wow.  So glad my daughter rejected Greek life completely before bothering with this incredibly shallow nonsense.
