Top girls are usually identified months before rush starts. Each city/town has a rush captain who picks the top girls from each high school. Many times, these PNM's already know current members from high school, camp, church, etc. Cannot say enough how important connections are - especially for top 6-8 houses. We study all of the recs that come in- it really is important to have someone who knows you well write it, and to include great pics and a full resume. Legacies are reviewed in depth. Lastly, we make goals about the next PC to make sure our houses remain well-rounded. If we have dance team girls graduating, we want to rush more dancers. If we want to get our GPA up higher, we'll focus on high GPA/SAT's. If a bunch of artistic or athletic girls are graduating, we need new ones! Between all these things, the rush team puts together a top pnm list. Some houses begin looking at slide shows of top PNM's before work week and rush week. After all this, maybe we've come up with a list of the top 200-350 PNM's and that's who we focus our effort on getting all week. Sure, some other girls will slip in or become a rush week favorite, but almost our entire bid list will be from that initial list of 200-350 PNM's. At the same time, we're putting together our first cut list for after round 1. Grade risks, no recs, and "questionable reputation" PNM's go on that list and almost nothing they do at round 1 can get them off that list....cold, hard trutH
