2014 rush
by: OU Parent-IAI know several girls that had GPAs over 4.0, outstanding rec letters and will be part of other organizations on the OU campus this fall and they were cut by PHI PI, Theta, Kappa, TRI-Delta and Chi Omega while other girls who were not as strong academically or otherwise and they were not cut because of their looks or they had friends that were already in the sorority. (unfortunately she doesn't know anyone and is not a blond). It makes me disgusted with this whole process. From an outsider looking in, it is about who you know and not your accomplishments. How can they judge if someone is a good match based on a 10 minute conversation where the girls are nervous? You have to embrace diversity and I really don't see that happening with the process that is being used by the above mentioned houses to move girls to the next round. They seem to be most comfortable with girls that appear to be just like them. Where is the diversity and the willingness to believe that just because someone does not act or look in the same manner they may not be a fit? They may be shy or introvert but it doesn’t mean they would not be a good fit. Before someone states that I’m in one these houses I’m not I am a parent just trying understand why girls that have excellent grades and leadership qualities were cut by all of the above houses? Why is one sorority considered better than another? Stop this insane ranking do you have any idea what it does to a girl’s self-esteem?

Do you think OU " should get with the program" and allow for cross cutting too?? I bet you don't. OU's recruitment is competitive but it's friendly allowing all girls to find a home. No cross cut and no soph quota. I suspect if you truly look into those ideas you'd probably want to leave OUs recruitment as is. It actually works beautifully and all the houses are great!

Oh my gosh, NO!!! I think that cross cutting is horrible, but I think that going outside of the box and trying new things is a good idea. I am pro greek!!! Would you have ever thought social media would be so prevalent? Things change and change is not always a bad thing.
