i'm hearing and thinking to drop theta first round

ya cut them if you don't like them. it's as easy as that.

I mean there isn't really strategies to rush... Just cut the ones you don't like. Chances are you'll get one of the ones you cut back anyway if someone drops you.

I suggest cutting them the first round if you aren't impressed. The odds are they will cut you too, but you might as well, spend your time and energy on houses you like. I cut them the first round and I'm glad I did, but that' is me. I will never know if they cut me too, and I really don't care. I'm glad I spent my time on sororities that were interested in me.

I'm probably going to cut them first round. They want a very specific girl and I'm not that, nor do I even want to be. I'd rather spend my time in sororitites that might suit me. I will for sure cut them first round.

My strategy: Go through recruitment with an open mind and hope for each and every house. If you don't feel a house is right for you, then cut it. If you feel you may like a house, then don't cut it. Simple as that. Yes rush is competitive and you shouldn't get your hopes set on a single house, but also don't assume you will automatically get cut because chapters WANT to like you! They are looking for the next group of girls to join their sisterhood just as much as PNMs are looking for a sisterhood to join - PNMs tend to forget that. Just be yourself and trust the process and you'll end up where you're supposed to.

I love how everyone tells PNMs "Have an Open Mind." But why don't they tell the sororities to "Have an Open Mind." Theta drops a bunch of people the first day, and they know NOTHING about them besides a few statistics and what the girl looks like.Sure doesn't seem very open minded. The odds are they probably will drop you the first day - that is just statistics. I know we are in a generation in which everyone believes they are so special it won't happen to them, but it probably will. I think anyone who drops them right off the bat is savvy, realistic and smart. Spend your time and energy on something other than snob appeal.

I'm pretty sure Theta does their MASSIVE cut the second day. I cut them the first day, cause I didn't want to go to them the second day and miss out on another good house. That was my strategy and it worked for me, as that I got one of the top six sororities that I feel is better than Theta anyway. Had I not cut Theta the first day, I'm not sure if I would've gotten my house, cause I may have wasted time the second day at Theta only to get cut by them. I'm glad with my discussion, but you have to do what feels right for you.

Theta isn't that big of a deal. There are a lot of good sororities. RELAX!!!!!!!!!

What do you mean they already have their class picked out? Stop trying to scare these girls. You sound ridiculous

the fact of the matter is that we can tell who you'll fit in with best and you could be an awesome girl but sorority xyz feels like you would be a perfect abc and sometimes cuts are as simple as that. the first round especially, you have to make big cuts because after a certain number on the list, there is just no point in trying to discuss a million girls so they try to keep voting strictly yes or no.
