what happened with rush?
by: ConfusedToday I got my schedule back and only had AOPi and not in a mean way, but I dont fit in their at all. I've also talked to mulitple girls who didn't get asked back to ones they seemed to be a good fit in and SO many girls have dropped. Is it normal to have this many girls drop/ be unhappy with their options? Also the first round of rush, I was only dropped by zeta and chi o....

If you dropped out when you had options left, then it's probably not going to happen for you. If you had unrealistic expectations, then welcome to real life. The bad news is you aren't going to be Greek. The good news is that being Greek isn't everything. Good luck.

I don't know about that. A lot of girls definitely deserved higher up tiers than they got...

The issue is not everyone can be in the houses they want based on sheer numbers. Even if you are cute, have the GPA and not completely awkward you can end up in a house you didn't necessarily want. That's why networking before rush is so crucial. Honestly though, try out the house you end up with. You'd be surprised with some of the girls you find within different houses.

Not everyone can make it into the "top" tiers so very few that don't take the opportunity to join this year will end up Greek at Vanderbilt. Next year's focus will be on freshmen. That's just the way it is. Life goes on.

All my friends are doing well, so will I be fine? Not like Kappa or theta but a lot are tridelt so could I possibly rush tridelt if all my friends are in it?

The top tiers stay about the same when it comes to competitiveness to get in because they get most of the really good transfers. If you're a sophomore that knows a lot of girls in a certain middle tier house that gets easier during sophomore rush but even then things can go not in your favor.

#6 by: Blacklisting Truth
Some of the girls that you think are automatic "top tiers" were probably black listed. This year, sororities didn't screw around with black listing girls for things that previously that wouldn't have been black listed for. It's nothing too personal, but Vandy is coming down hard on Greek life so they can't risk taking girls that could get them in trouble so no matter how cool, pretty, whatever the girls are, if they are a risk to the sorority, they were probably cut...

I wonder if it is typical for this many girls to drop/ sorta get screwed over. Also a lot of the girls are really cool and genuine nice people so I don't think it was like a bad personality that did anything. Also one even had a 3.92!
