transparency

These are rush stats from two years ago. These numbers came directly from UVA: Recruitment began with 1,020 Potential New Member registrants. Prior to the start of the first round, 42 women left the process (either did not show up or withdrew before starting recruitment). The number of PNMs who thus began the process was 978. Ultimately, 356 women voluntarily withdrew, did not receive a bid, or were released at some point during the process. 622 women received bids, the vast majority of whom received their first choice.(???, not sure about that...) So.... at UVA, 36.4 percent were cut out of rush or left the process. Two years ago, the national average was 17% and the SEC schools were all under 10%.

I think that this year's numbers will be very similar...

It really just takes a simple google search and the algorithm is called rfm. At the end, each sorority will have a first bid list the size of quota that would be their ideal pc and a second bid list with the rest of their pref people, although the point of inviting people to pref means they would be happy to have any of the pnms in their new pc.

From here, if a pnm is on her number 1’s first bid list, she gets a bid. If she isn’t on her number 1’s but is on her number 2, she goes to them. If a pnm only put one name down when she went to 2 and this happened, she would be dropped completely which is why they tell u not to suicide.

The next part only happens if a pnm puts both sororities down and isnt on either. Idk how uva does it because I’ve heard different schools do different things, but if a pnm doesn’t match on either first bid list, she’ll either get her number 1 or whichever one is smaller, again I don’t know. This is called a quota addition

"the algorithm is called rfm" >>> is this on Github or somewhere? It is open for inspection?

Seems like a pyramid scheme. Maybe rush should be free.

Why should PNM's pay for srats' marketing and membership drives? Where's the value to PNM's?

A new sorority, maybe in a house on Wertland to change things up, would be great.

How are the numbers looking this year? Did more PNM's stay in through prefs?

If you don't get a bid do you get your money back?

It’s 20 dollars. You are also guaranteed one of your last two houses as long as you rank both. “Not getting a bid” is extremely rare and most of the time people either only rank one house or drop
