Thanks for encouragement and ideas on how to be there for my D during this process. She visited her 9 houses. Some went well, others didn't. She got double rushed at 4 of them and none of them went well (in her mind). She really does have an open mind about the different chapters. But what I'm realizing is that this process is highlighting some other things some other issues she's been having and bringing them to the surface. So we're working through all that. It doesn't help that she's in a group where all but about 4 of the women received full dance cards for round two. I keep telling her that's not the norm, but, you know, she's 19 so she knows more
.
I did have some questions about terms if someone would mind answering/explaining?
What is an RFM, QA, bed quota?
Also, are the women given the opportunity to attend three chapters on preference night?
What does it mean to "maximize" your bids?
Does IU still do "snap bidding" and informal/open rush after formal rush is over?
Thanks in advance. It's been awhile since I went through IU rush and it is a very, very different process. I didn't realize how much it had changed. When I went through, we (the PNMs) were given a list of chapters that had invited us back. If we were asked back to more than we could visit we cut them. Very different now.
This will be a very long week. I'm glad she at least has classes to focus on now instead of sitting in her room marinating in everything.
Thanks!
