question
by: Jessie'sMomHi Everyone! My daughter went through Rush and was cut by her favorite houses, so she dropped out. Someone from our hometown is the President of one of the houses she liked so much. I can't believe she let my daughter get dropped! You would think the President would have more influence than that. Is there a way to appeal their decision? My daughter is amazing - smart, pretty, athletic, etc.

I am hoping that your daughter's name is not Jessie, because it will be fairly easy to find out who she is. If she is interested in Greek life, Panhellenic will have a sign up for Continuous Open Bidding. Have HER call the Office of Greek Life to find out the details. DO NOT call national headquarters. Membership selection is private and they are not going to give you any information.
It is not impossible to go through recruitment as an upperclassman. If she gets involved on campus, makes good grades and has good friends involved in Greek life it is possible to have a successful recruitment.
One last thing, you can not hold the chapter president responsible for your daughter's rush. The chapter makes these decisions, not just one person.

Why so much anger in the tone of the reply? I know it's been a long week but come on ladies, it's time for some smiles and let the comments rest. So much to look forward to during these wonderful four years. Trust me, the mortgage, kids, jobs, aging parents take over and you will reflect happily on even Rush!
Enjoy and have a wonderful football season!

I wanted to update everyone on my situation. I heard back from the National office and they were very helpful in explaining the whole recruitment process. While I understand what they told me, I still can't help but feel that my daughter didn't get enough exposure to enough sisters. She was cut after the first round. How could they really get to know her in 20 minutes? I've heard through the grapevine that most sororities already have their pledge lists figured out ahead of time, usually from people they went to High School with. That doesn't seem fair.

To LOL, if you don't go to UA, why are you on this website? Why should I listen to anything you have to say about my daughter's situation? And why the Special Snowflake comments? Seriously, I think you need a hobby. You don't go to Alabama yet you feel compelled to comment.

Oh, but they are...especially GDIs, because they don't know how the system works. What's sad is that she hasn't even tried to educate herself about sororities or NPC recruitment.
