An out of state success

My daughter is OOS (Western US) and had a great rush. She went 12-13 Round 1, 6-7 Round 2, and 3-3 Prefs in "old row houses". One house freqeuntly described as "highly selective" invited her to Pref round with no rec. So it is possible to do very well from OOS. Why did she do better than other OOS students on this board? A few thoughts for the OOS girls next fall. While she is very attractive, personable, excellent grades and played two HS sports,so did many of those who are reporting multiple cuts. I was not in a sorority in college so her recs were spotty. Maybe 10 total, 2 for a few houses and one for about six more. I think a couple of things helped. She did visited UGA for a 3 day weekend in April and stayed in Brumby with a HS friend who was in a top tier house. The went to parties, where the friend introduced her to girls from multiple houses. She Facebook friended with many and also corresponded on Instagram thru the summer. Secondly, she met a HS SR from a GA HS that had friends in a top tier house. They decided to become FR roommates. That connection obviously helped. What was interesting to me is not that those 2 top houses were interested, but so were other top houses where she had no connections. I think the rush committees stalk your social media. When they see girls from top houses commenting your Instagram, it creates a aura of you being a "hot prospect". She still has to get a bid today so my fingers are crossed.
