Good advice

Moms, also please realize that when your daughter gets cut, it's not personal, at least not in the first few rounds. Rush is so competitive that houses have to cut fast if they're top tier....grades, lack of connections, etc. are the reasons why your daughter - unless she's a Miss/Memphis girl or with super connections/pull - will get cut from Tri Delt, Chi O and KD after first round. Variable quota means these houses have to cut more girls than in the past.

There are exceptions, of course, but I know OOS (especially out of region) girls who are shocked and really upset at being cut from those houses after the first round.

And please don't complain on here about how your daughter was unfairly treated, etc. It's a numbers game and variable quota means even Miss. girls are being cut from top tier houses where they are legacies and have tight connections.

Encourage your daughter to give every house a chance, even the "lower tiers" (which have many fantastic girls...there truly are no "bad" sororities here). If they get a bid, TAKE IT and give that sorority a chance. \n\n\n\n\n

Moms should check out the Greek Chat Forums.

And make sure she behaves when she gets to campus.

My biggest advice is just to support your daughter through the process and let her choose her own house. I know you will be heartbroken if she gets upset but encourage her to consider all houses.
