How many signed up for recruitment

If you stay in the process you will get a bid. If you decide you think you are better than houses that have given you a chance or that you deserve to be in certain houses that drop you then you will be crying in a dorm room on bid day

It doesn't matter how many have signed up, your chances are the same no matter how many others are going through recruitment. Everything is entirely dependent on the number of pnm's participating. The process really is designed to give as many invitations back each round and as many bids as possible, not to eliminate pnm's out of the process. There is no predetermined number of bids on the part of panhellenic or any individual sorority, and more pnm's means a larger rush overall and more bids given out.

You are good with a 3.8 but your conversations and how you present yourself really matter, and a few sororities do already know lots of pnm's coming through and those will be their desired new members. When you get released from one of these sororities it is NOT personal, it doesn't mean they didn't like you or found you unworthy, it doesn't mean they wouldn't want you as a friend.

If you go to pref and rank both these houses, or just the one if that's all you get, you are guaranteed a bid.
