How did they decide who to cut?
by: buI heard none of the pnms got to talk to people during their open house so how did the chapters decide who to cut?

Reach out to someone who rushed you and she might be able to provide some clarity!

What happens is sororitys get back the results of how the pnms over all ranked them. So sometimes srats will “rush hard” pnms that they don’t actually intend on taking in their pc so that their rankings are high at the end of recruitment. Pnms are more likely to list the house that has been rushing them hard on their top choice and thus the sorority gets good statistics to send to their nationals. It’s a dishonest and misleading practice and I really wish chapters would stop doing it.

My sister goes to A&M and they did the same thing there for Rush in fall. They prob cut based on if they know the girls then the video and references, resume. That's the way it goes.

A lot of Baylor girls work w rush coaches to help them w resume, recs, etc. when they turn them in earlier, the sororities know they’re interested and ask them out during fall semester. The girls who go on rush dates fall semester get prioritized bc the sororities already know them and vote on them during rush. It’s all decided before round 1 - round 1 is literally just a formality. It’s about knowing what to do before rush that gets you a bid. Rush itself is really a formality.

If all things are equal (grades, honors, activities) and you get cut, the sorority thought one of two things. Either they felt that you would shine brighter in another chapter, or there was another girl who they felt would shine more brightly for them. Remember, you are not in the driver's seat. Go with the flow, and love who you have.

I swear they just looked at appearance and cut based off of that. I rushed one sorority SO hard and they cut me before I even talked to an active member. How can you judge someone off a one minute video? If you aren't pretty and blonde or a legacy you're screwed in my opinion.

Rush dates help for knowing girls before recruitment. If you’ve met a lot of people, you’re more likely to make it further into the week.

The videos were just an introduction. They didn’t have any impact of who was or wasn’t cut unless someone was a total spaz. Lol.

Remember when you got drunk at that fraternity party and barfed in the bushes? Or inadvertently made out with that guy who turned out to have a girlfriend? Or you flipped off that car full of girls at McDonalds? Well...they are all in the sororities that you’re trying to join now! 😳

I understand those instances, but the majority of girls rushing aren't like that...

You may not remember who you might have crossed in high school who’s mom may have submitted a “no rec”!!! A “no rec” means you are basically blackballed and can never receive a bid from that particular house. It’s bad and it does happen!

yeah this whole virtual recruitment process thing is a bust. I prefer in person that online, it doesn’t get to showcase who you are as a person and what you can contribute. Because I also got cut from a lot of chapters except 1

Well yeah but no. Like I said below, A lot of Baylor girls work w rush coaches to help them w resume, recs, etc. when they turn them in earlier, the sororities know they’re interested and ask them out during fall semester. Sooo, that means the PNMs who go on rush dates fall semester get prioritized bc the sororities already know them and vote on them during rush. It’s all decided before round 1 - round 1 is literally just a formality. It’s about knowing what to do before rush that gets you a bid. Rush itself is really a formality.
