Hello ladies, I have been frequenting this discussion board for a few days now. Let me say first, I was never in a sorority and the Greek/sorority system is still somewhat of a mystery to me. My daughter when through rush at Mizzou and ended up with two houses that wanted her and she wanted. She would have been happy with both but got the one that she thought she wanted the most. She is over the moon! As an outsider, all I can say is that the women who managed recruitment and rush week were awesome! My daughter had a blast and was very appreciative of all the hard work that went into making it a very memorable event. She was stressed and emotional the latter part of the week and broken hearted for those girls who got the call informing them they had no pref's or bids. BUT she knew going into this process that it was going to be stressful, emotional and risky. Some on this board don't appreciate the parent comments but I felt I needed to perhaps let you know that in spite of my daughter being a strong, independent young woman, the fact of the matter is she is states way from where she grew up, just recently turned 18 and in spite of being in college, she has a lot to learn about being on her own. Please allow us parents to indulge our children for maybe one semester until they get their bearings in college. And lastly, thank you very much to the ladies who epitomize the wonderful sisterhood and compassion that drew my daughter to sorority life in the first place.
