I'm fascinated by sorority recruitment process

Fast forward one year to last night. My D received a sorority bid and she is very happy!

She was devastated from not getting a bid last January. It took awhile for her to recover. I give her credit for being very resilient. Since then she has moved into an off campus apartment with roommates who have become good friends. She has become more involved in IU extracurricular activities and has made more good friends. I was surprised that she wanted to rush again since she was very happy socially this past fall semester. So she got what she wanted and I’m happy for her. Some of her sophomore friends also received bids last night.

I’m sure there are some young women (and parents) who are now experiencing the devastation that my D experienced last year. Keep your head up. You will recover from this and find your place at IU. And you may be more fortunate next year if you decide to rush again. It is a brutal process for sure.
