Regretting not rushing

<p>Be careful what you wish for. USC rush seems brutal to me .You need to be fully aware of the numbers on the Panhellenic website:They explain,after visiting all the houses, you MAY get 6 houses, the next day you MAY get 4, and today, you MAY have two. However:Along the way, girls were getting back far less. After the first round, some girls get only two offers. You’ll be lucky at the end to have two to chose from. It is a superficial setting during rush, where your tour guide only gets to know you for a few minutes. It can be a very ego bruising experience so close to the beginning of school. As their bids dwindle, I understand many girls have dropped out.Sorority rush sucks, but sorority life is a ball. So, steel yourself for a healthy serving of rejection. Get recommendations at all the houses. Learn some small talk. Be flexible about your choices. But, no matter what, being dropped hurts your feelings.I wish there were a better way to join sororities, as it is hard to watch your kid go through it. If I had realized how tough USC’s rush was, I’m not sure I would have told my daughter to go through it. Hopefully she will get the house she wants today and it will all have been worth it.</p>
