Daughter deciding to Rush for Sorority

<p>DD is starting her second year and has decided to rush this fall. I am so stressed and worried about the whole process. Any tips, suggestions, hints that anyone can provide? TIA</p>

<p>Hey scrap girl. I know we discussed this last year but all you can do is be supportive and believe she will end up where she should be. She needs to be herself and trust her instincts about where she will be happy. Going in without preconceived notions is best but as a sophomore she will already know girls in the respective houses and probably has some idea where she will fit in. Good luck to her!!</p>

<p>Thanks Janna! That’s what I keep telling her and myself. She does have a few friends that are in different sororities, so hopefully she finds one that fits her.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>My oldest daughter went through the process back in 2008 and landed in a wonderful sorority. She has since graduated and still keeps in touch with many of her sisters today. In fact, it seems to be a wonderful network of women who help each other in many ways. Have your daughter dress according to each event and to keep an open mind. Back then recs were not vital- I’m not sure about nowadays. She should enjoy the experience and I hope she finds a great group of girls.</p>

<p>Scrapgal- how was your daughters first day as a PNM? Would be interested to hear what she thought of the process, the girls and the houses. Hope this is a fantastic week for her!!</p>

<p>Thanks for asking! It was a long day, but she had a good experience so far. Some girls were friendlier than others. Today she visits the second half of the houses. Today will be an even longer day than yesterday from what she told me. I’ll keep you posted.</p>

<p>I’d love to hear about her experience now that I know what it looks like from inside the house. Tonight is the first round of mutual selection. And I am sure you daughter will have a great day tomorrow that won’t wear her out nearly as much.</p>
