JAM--you're so right about the rose-colored glasses. I waltzed into rush totally unaware of how selective it is in the SEC. I had no clue that 75% of the other rushees had tons of friends in the sororities already or that juniors, no matter how fabulous their grades and activities might be, were not what most of the sororities wanted. I saw so many girls get cut who would've been very desirable at smaller schools.
How I wish I'd had a Greekchat to come to before I rushed--because it's rougher when you go in unaware and full of excitement and innocent confidence!
