[quote=Anonymous]OP message resonates with me. My kid started college excited about joining a sorority and is about to go through sorority rush in January. I  hope she has a positive outcome, but worried for her bc her social circle is all rushing and it will be hard if she's excluded. I personally don't care, but I know it's important to her. I've tried to advise her that there are limited sports and to keep an open mind and not to fixate on the 'top' houses. I was in a sorority a gazillion years ago when it was very chill, before social media, before campuses were so delinated by wealth/connections, etc. There now seems to be a lot of pre-vetting in the fall term, which I've recently learned is called dirty rush. My kid is very social and has made an effort to meet older girls from each house, but  is not feeling very confident bc the process is very competitive and a lot of girls are connected through private schools, siblings, etc. Of note, she is a great student and already involved in a number of clubs- but this is a very academic school and greek life provides the primary fun social outlet (at least for freshman/sophomores). We will see what happens...[/quote]
