[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering how recruitment has wrapped up for those going through it at UVA. My daughter was really surprised at the houses that asked her back for preference round, as at one of them specifically she hasn’t felt like there’s been really great conversations/connections made. I am not really sure how the process works there, but does that mean that that chapter rated her higher on their list than another chapter that she had maybe ranked higher and didn’t get asked back to did? The ones she got back for the last round are both great chapters, but she really cannot see herself at one of them based on the girls she has met through the earlier rounds. I told her that the chapters are huge and she’s only met a handful of the girls in it, and if she ends up getting a bid to that one then she’d be going in with so many other new girls/it’s a great chance to meet more people. I have been pretty uninvolved in the whole thing, so hoping I gave her good advice.

FWIW she really is going through rush to find her tribe. She joined clubs, club sports etc already 1st semester, but hasn’t really found her people yet and was hopeful a sorority would help do that. Anyone with UVA specific experience to shed light on how the computer matches girls in the final round?[/quote]

Which sororities does she have left? [/quote]

All seemed very random when my DD rushed last year, although I know it isn't. She definitely felt deeper connections at some houses that dropped her, and got asked back to houses where she didn't feel she had connections. There are so many girls rushing and so much that can sway a vote depending on who you talk to during the rounds. She is very happy where she landed and has made some great friends. And because of how large many of the UVA sororities are (including hers) she is still meeting people. Good advice to tell your daughter to give it a chance. [/quote]
