is sorority rush competitive?

Rush is very competitive here. This past year we had the largest amount of girls go through rush ever. Plenty of girls even get dropped the very first day. I highly suggest getting letter of recs and just keeping an open mind during the process.

Don't let @hey scare you. Larger numbers of pnm's just means larger New Member classes, not more competition among pnm's for spots. There is not a set number of bids before recruitment starts; Quota is not established until the Pref round and if you make it to this round you are on the bid list somewhere. Everyone goes to all the houses first round. After that, each house is only allowed to invite back so many pnm's based on their historical percentages. So while releases happen each round, it really is better this way so you can concentrate on the houses that are asking you back. Do everything you can to help yourself out, including getting alumnae to write recs for you.
