In this episode of Leading Lady, I want to share my experience with my daughter who recently went through sorority recruitment, or rush, as a freshman in college. I\\u2019m sharing my perspective on this topic because recently, someone posted in the Leading Lady Facebook group that she had been hearing horror stories and wanted perspective on it because her daughter was thinking about rushing.\\xa0

People feel pretty passionately about sororities. Some feel it\\u2019s archaic and toxic, some think it\\u2019s a wonderful experience and really appreciate the community and the opportunities that being in a sorority presents.\\xa0

My experience with this whole process was a bit of a culture shock, to be honest. However, it\\u2019s important to remember that everyone\\u2019s experience is unique to them. There is no right or wrong blanket statement when it comes to sororities.\\xa0

My daughter and I both learned a lot from this experience. One of the biggest takeaways from this is that no one likes rejection, but it is a very real part of life.\\xa0

As much as rejection hurts, we have to recognize that it\\u2019s not our place to determine if we are the right fit for someone else. We should instead focus on looking for situations where we are wanted, celebrated, and accepted.\\xa0

Tune in to learn more about our experience with the sorority recruitment process and what we learned from rejection.\\xa0
