[quote=triplefigs;1529363]Did they do the early rushing parties in the late 80's? I don't remember ANY of us from my HS going to parties, letters, etc.
I don't think so, I was writing recs and talking to mamas in the 80s and I don't remember anything like this until my oldest daughter was a senior in 2001. And even then, she had been to a state-wide program that enabled her to meet a ton of girls her age and a year or so older and a lot of the notes came from some of them, so I initially associated it with the program, but as more and more came I realized that this was a "rush" technique.
By the time 2006 rolled around I had survived putting on (and paying for) a wedding and all I could think about was how much those beautiful invitations to all those teas must have cost
