PNM must read: ranking system exposed

Ever wonder how rush works at USF? Here’s the tea!
When you enter a house you go in a specific order so that the house can pair you with women who have similar interests and can be a judge of how you might fit in their sorority. On day one this isn’t as important unless you have a letter of recommendation in which they might have an VP talk to you instead of women from the house.
When you leave the house the girls that spoke to you (often in what is called a bump group) will rank you on a scale of 0-4. 0 being they never want to see you again, 4 being they NEED you in their house. Often times houses will tell their women to rank everyone a 0-2 on the first day and everyone they dirty rushed from pre rush get reserved the 3-4 rankings.
This occurs every single round, and as each round goes on more women with similar interests will talk to you and try to recruit you into choosing their sorority.
All of the ranking and point system information gets put into a system and randomly chooses who gets to return to the house or not. Each house has a certain number of spots based on how many girls they had graduate, drop, or didn’t recruit from the previous year. The only way for sorority women to guarantee that the girls that they like the best make it each round is to rank everyone else (even though they may like them a little) super low!
I will reiterate this over and over: your personal ranking on the computers of each sorority does not matter until the last day after preference round!!! You can “drop” a sorority by ranking it last every single day and you will STILL get it on your schedule if they are ranking you highly. (I even got a phone bid from a house that I dropped every single day after I dropped from recruitment)
Before bid day, on preference round, if you are left with 2 sororities you don’t like, DROP! because if you accept a bid from them you have to wait an entire calendar year before being allowed to rush again. If you drop in the process before accepting a bid you can attend any of the houses COB parties and spring recruitment for that year.
Hope this helps 🤍🤍
