reaching out and making friends
by: freshmanI've had some sorority girls follow me on Instagram recently and I'm interested in rushing. Should I talk to them first? I feel like communicating with members is taboo like you're trying to convince them that you're the best pick for their sorority (even though it's July?). Do they get weirded out by that or is it seen as generally nice if you talk to them first?

Sororities 1-3 bid 85-95%+ to legacies ONLY.
Sororities 4-6 bid 70-85%+ to legacies ONLY.
Sorority 7 bids to 85% of PNMs.
Sorority 8 bids to 100% of PNMs.
SMU's Top 6 Sororities are almost a CLOSED LEGACY Society.
Spring Recruitment is a FARCE for most NON-LEGACY PNMs.

It felt taboo to me too when I was rushing last year, but I found that actually a lot of friends did it. Many people had more rush dates than I did because I tried not to seem to eager for one house. I ended getting what I wanted, but my choice was more about a low key Greek experience, which isn’t everyone’s preference. I would say go for it.

Sorority 1-3 PCs are packed with legacies. Over 90%.
Sorority 4-6 PCs are loaded with legacies. Over 85%.
The remaining 5-15% sorority 1-6 PC members are from Big Chapter contributors, Famous Families and Star Athletes. The remaining 3-5% are student leaders or proven academic scholars. My daughter had a 2.1 and was left out.
The Average Non-Legacy PNM will be corralled into sororities 7-8. Panhellenic and the university will use numerous pressure tactics. The WORST is the university tuition and housing full refund deadline BEFORE recruitment results are announced. Then the university 50% refund deadline kicks-in just days after the results are announced. Leaving the Newly Shocked GDI no time to pack and enroll in another university for the Spring semester. "Trapped" for an expensive $50 grand Spring semester. Just as Panhellenic and the university designed it.
Then...the COB illusion. Newly shocked GDIs are encouraged to participate in COB, where Sororities 7 & 8 are the ONLY remaining options available. This was unacceptable for my gorgeous girl.
RELEASE the "Spring 2020 Legacy Disclosure Report" for the past 3 years by October 1st, 2020. Everyone is aware of Panhellenic's coverup attempts. You are NOT going to defraud the 2021 Spring PNMs with your PREDETERMINED LEGACY PC RECRUITMENT.
If this report is available in the Panhellenic Office, DISCLOSE the Spring 2020 results and for the past 3 years. SPILL the results on a GR Post. Most PNMs are too intimidated by Panhellenic to request this report. They are concerned they would be labeled as a trouble maker by Panhellenic, as I was. SPILL it because I want it immediately.

This Spring 2020 recruitment was another WELCOME CEREMONY for legacies. Panhellenic MUST fully disclose by October 1st, 2020 the truthful legacy-filled 2020 Spring recruitment results. Listing each sorority and number of legacies in each PC for the past 3 years.
This early Fall semester disclosure will prepare next Spring non-legacy 2021 PNMs the "realistic slim-chance of a bid" from the top 6 sororities. Hopefully preventing another Springtime of newly shocked GDIs.
