[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok. I feel like many people here don’t know rush works. In a nutshell there are several days of parties/events. After each day, the girl ranks which houses they want to go back to and the sorority ranks which girls they want back. The computer generates a list of parties/events for day 2, and as each day goes by, the girl gets a shorter list each day of which parties/events she is attending the next day until there are only 2 or 3 left. The following day she will most likely receive a bid to join on of those 2-3 remaining.

On any given day, the possibility exists that the girl does not get invited back to any sororities and is dropped out of the process. This is the harsh reality, feels like rejection by thousands of girls, and often leaves a girl wondering what’s next and having to adjust her mindset for what her social life at college will look like. I can see how it could be upsetting for most, and girls need to go into the process prepares for any outcome. It is presented as though the girl is selecting a sorority, but the sororities are actually doing 95% of the selection and they have the final say.

I would never have put myself through this process, and presented myself to be judged, but my daughter is determined and I hope she is as prepared for any possible outcome as she says she is. [/quote]

Wow--this is a heck of a process for young women who are at an age where they care deeply about what others think of them and are away from home for the first time!  At least it is in January and not the first week of school![/quote]
