other side of rush
by: Ontheotherside
Wow- had no clue what happens behind the scenes.
For all you PNMs that pledged a house you should be very proud.
What I found out without divulging secrets.....
No matter how much you liked a certain house and certain girls you may not have any chance you get in. Things are predetermined- not preselected, but predetermined.
Legacies are NOT guaranteed. Yes it sucks- all those recommendations etc. in the short run it will allow you to get to round 1 but that's that. ( most houses )
No matter what every house says if you are from Texas you have a head start. Simply put your chance of being known or knowing people in the house is far greater than those girls out of state.
Within the houses there are cliques from certain towns that will push for girls from their own town.
Most importantly, the girl that took you through rush, the one you clicked with, loved, and made you want to join her house and you DIDN'T get in- she is devastated, just like you! She wanted you, others wanted you- the numbers didn't add up. Enjoy your new house. Wear your letters proudly. Don't worry about "rankings". They change every year.

Honestly the dirty rush thing is true but not for all houses trust me! But the being from Texas thing is so not true, I’m from Texas and I can honestly say that it was kinda a down side. TCU has so many students from out of state and I literally didn’t know a single person when I came here, and a ton of out of state people knew at least like 5 people who came from their high school

I guess it should say the people from the right places in texas. Places where a lot of kids come to TCU or from the rights camps etc. places where you come in having older girls pulling for you. If you didn't know anyone when you came here, then my guess is that you were from a small town in Texas

I actually am from out of state. Initially the odds are better if you are from Texas and have girls from your hometown pulling for you. You probably won't get cut after the first round. TCU is still predominantly Texans, but each year more out of state students enroll. As this changes the dynamics of Greek life will probably also change. Just stating my thoughts and opinions from rush this past year.
