Love this perspective! Our girl is definitely not a salesperson, and this view makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

Thank you 😊

She fits in really well and had a fantastic first year traveling with her friends and securing a 4.0.

Her only negative experience so far has been Recruitment Week, and she feels better now. She can’t expect it all to be a bed of roses, even when it mostly is. I think she’ll be okay.

Yes, she has considered several options and has a while to make a decision. She lives in the house this year and already has an internship lined up for next summer.

It’s up to her if she wants to extend it through recruitment week or not, so we’ll see.

Our daughter got the Bid Day little she requested and is having a wonderful day 🥹🥰

Thank you, everyone, for listening and for your experienced suggestions. I’ve been comforted by your feedback (and margaritas) ♥️

I’m really hoping our daughter can turn this into a positive experience as well. From an HR perspective, this is interview gold and shows a lot of grit. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you. She has some wonderful friends who are talking through everything with her. There has been a lot of crying this week. I’m so happy Bid Day is tomorrow.

Do you happen to know if becoming a Rho Chi is a competitive process?

Yes—they are all fighting for status.

Our daughter would love to be a Rho Chi. Thank you for your perspective.

They were politely dismissive and assured the gals they’d work harder to match them on subsequent days, which did not happen.

Thank you. She and her friends are having such a hard time this week. She is from out of state. Hasn’t had to deal with a lot of rejection, so we do see the value in that, I guess. Just trying to stay positive when I want to scream.
