[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, remember that each house has a large number of sisters.  A girl may have 10 girls she knows and likes in the sorority.  If she goes to a rush party and just talks to them, she likely won’t get in.  Not because they “turn” on her because the other girls in the sorority who she doesn’t know still don’t know her after the party.  It’s critical that a girl meet as many sisters as possible at each party.  [/quote]

The whole process is strange.  Pick "your best friends" for the next 4 years from 3-4 meetings, of 3-5 mins with 4 or 5 girls each time, all while you are working your hardest to "present yourself"---or rather let others pick your best friends for the next 4 years.

T[b]hat's not how normal people pick friends[/b].  You hang out with people, get to know them by spending hours with them, not minutes.  Hang out watching movies, go to dinner, shopping, playing games, going to parties, playing sports, studying, etc.. And you decide if they are for you once you really get to know them, not the other way around.

My daughter is a member of a sorority.  I assure you she is very normal and this was not how she picked her best friends ; nor did she let others pick them for her.  She is also on a varsity sports team and a member of a club that focuses on what she hopes to pursue as her career.  Her two closest friends are not in her sorority. They are not even on her team or in the professional club.  Imagine that!  But please, go ahead and stereotype if that makes you feel better.

Where?

Rush and joining a sorority at St Mary’s or George Mason is an entirely different ballgame than UGA or Alabama. Completely different animals.  And if your daughter didn’t grow up in the south, you don’t understand the pressure those girls get. It’s a different world. [/quote]

You’ve made my point.  Rush and sorority membership vary by school.  Don’t stereotype.[/quote]

And don’t judge the girls who’ve had horrible experiences. Because you don’t know how different it was for them or why. [/quote]
