My own daughter will go through next year. She is blonde, smart (4.0), cheerleader, great resume, will have great recs... etc. However I will encourage her to ignore the flash and brilliance. If she gets invited back by all, I will encourage her to look at the girls in each house. Which ones will fit her personality? I will especially caution her to take a good look at her compatibly with the perceived top houses. Once you are in, what you see is what you get. And if she truly doesn't fit with that stereotype she might not end up with the sisterhood experience I would hope for her. Worst case scenario she might even drop. The top five is a perception, which you have unwittingly encouraged. I hope you take the time to encourage the young women you are speaking of to stick with the process. If they are as wonderful as you describe they have a lot to contribute to those Greek organizations. And like any organization, it is what you make of it. The letters are for life, not just four years. I love my alumnae group. I know some of them better now than I knew the sisters I lived with. Just shows the process can work. And a good home can be found. Luckily at OU there are no truly bottom houses. No groups in jeopardy of closing. The perceived bottom would be upper at most other universities. I would be proud for my daughter to be a member of any group there. It is a win-win at OU. Good Luck!
