I can tell all those who are complaining have never been through rush on the other side. And that 95% of you, once you are on the other side, will wince a little at what you said this past week. This isn't a bad thing. I just want to explain how this works. "Kappa and DG cut everybody early, it was cooked" or whatever. Yes, they cut heavily. No, it was not "cooked". For any national sorority at ANY university (Harvard, USC, UC Merced, tiny liberal arts colleges, all of them), you fall under Panhellenic. Panhellenic structures rush. If you want the members, you participate. So 99.59% of the chapters do, unless you are so small that you can only C.O.B. Panhellenic gives the chapter the number of girls they need to cut every night. They do this by return rates. If everybody is ranking XYZ #1, and obviously not everybody CAN be XYZ, then Panhel says, "XYZ, you need to release 50% of the women Day 1". If nobody is ranking ABC high, then Panhel says, "make cuts minimal, we recommend you release no more than 150 women" or whatever. The sorority has no choice. We had advisors and/or alumnae breathing down our necks in the back rooms to make sure we do exactly what Panhel says, and on top of that we don't have an option in the first place. "But the system should change". Not really...it works out pretty well. You'll see this when you are on the other side, but the sorority can pick up on if the girl is a fit way faster than the other way around.
