My daughter is in the rush process. I have been reading all the comments. I realize that a sorority is more than their philanthropy. My daughter wanted to join a sorority to meet people and to make her transition easier. She held several leadership roles in High School as well as she was very active in community service (hundreds of hours). I understand the job interview analogy but disagree in some sense to paralleling it to the sister interviews that occur. In the real world, appearance will only take you so far and that depends on the specific job. In certain career paths, being "pretty" could actually be a hindrance instead of an asset. College life and real life are very, very different. I'm wondering what would a PNM could possibly say in the 5-10 minute interview that would make a Sorority remember her or make her stand out given the nature of the questions asked? My daughter thought she had great interviews with certain Sororities, she was so happy, only to be cut from them regardless of the Round #. I was the one trying to console her assuring her that it wasn't her. My concern is that top tier Sororities are defined and rated as such because of what the sisters look like. When my daughter first expressed an interest in rushing I decided to research the UF Sororities. I found that the reviews had nothing to do with philanthropy, grades, etc... The reviews were all about the "looks" factor. It's sad and disheartening for all involved.
