[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The lowest tier houses mean she'll be separated from all her current friends.  And the lower tier houses are not a guarantee themselves.  She could very likely not be either of them either.

I guess my true question is (let's not get caught up in house tiering) is: [b]what happened to your kid if they were either not matched to any house or separated from all their current friends?  Did they bounce back socially? Did they transfer? [/b][/quote]

I loved my lowest tier sorority! I was clueless going in to rush, and along the way, it wasn’t where I thought I would match or pledge. But it turned out to be great!

I met new friends AND kept my old friends. In fact, I grew closer to them and to some of their sorority friends, too.

The whole experience was additive. It grew our social circles rather than restricted them.

One piece on insight: The rush experience can be VERY intense, especially if it’s compressed into a few weeks. Differences between houses seem massive, and the whole thing feels like it’s all or nothing.

Neither thing is true. The intensity settles down in a month or so. Your DD is NOT crazy to have big feelings about this in the moment. Again, it’s intense. As her parent, stay steady. Encourage her to keep an open mind. And take it a day and then a week at a time. She’ll find her people wherever she lands. [/quote]
