I'm sorry that your disappointed in our system, but it's the same system used all over the country, including your home of the south. As a fellow greek, you should know that there are almost always more legacies going through rush than a sorority can take. If a sorority feels that they didn't "click" with your daughter during rounds 1 and 2, the "legacy rules" of most sororities require them to cut her before pref. If they pref her, she is automatically on their bid list. As someone already mentioned on this thread, rush is a MUTUAL selection process. Just because your daughter is a legacy doesn't entitle her to a bid. I'm sure her feelings were hurt, but I am surprised that she put all of her eggs in one basket. Despite you inferring otherwise, ALL of the sororities on our campus are "nice" and our greek system is more competitive than most people think. Had she kept an open-mind, she may have found the perfect home. In all honesty, rejection is part of life. She's in college now, and should learn to deal with it because there will definitely be more to come. Finally, before you decide that I am just posting "off the cuff", please know that I've been there. I was a double legacy to a "top" house on campus (both my mother and grandmother were members of that chapter), and they cut me before pref. I was hurt at first, but then realized that I really didn't fit in there anyway. I am now a very happy junior member of another sorority.
