cuts during recruitment
by: IncomingWho makes the final decision on who gets cut and who gets invited back during recruitment? Does the Executive Committee, Alumni, New Member Educator, Pan Counsel...I understand groups may be different but it would be nice to know.

I'm glad to see that this question was asked. Not because there is an easy answer that fits every group but because too often we focus on who cut us instead of who placed you high on their list and could see wanting to be your sister. Friendships that last a lifetime can come in any house. That is your goal not greek letters that go on a T-shirt.

Chio if you not a direct legacy forget it(your mom) and that isn't 100% cause they cut direct legacies last year. The Alumni pick their top 200 and that it pretty much the list. Members are told to make sure all the recruits think they have bids for sure, problem do the math they can't take 200 new pledges somewhere between 60 and 80. They make all the PNMs think they are a sure thing then comes pref and bid day and no bid. If your not feeling this group don't put all your eggs in their basket. There are way better sororities on campus that
know how to treat people so much better. They do some of the meanest and dirty recruitment of anyone and everyone on campus knows it! BE VERY CAREFUL, so many girls have been burned by them!

I am not a XO so I cannot give honest feedback to this debate. I will point out that this information is prevelant each year so it does appear something isn't on the up and up. I've meet too many girls who felt they were promised a bid that were cut. We all know their alumni pay fines so they can break rules like wearing skirts instead of jeans on the first day. They weren't my cup of tea anyway but it seems wise to guard your heart with these owls. There are horror stories and stories of pre-recruitment parties every year.

You're an idiot. You don't know anything. You're just repeating stupid untrue gossip from girls that didn't get bids.
Are you really dumb enough to believe every single TCU Chi Omega is the daughter of a Chi Omega?
PNMs, these kinds of jealousy based lying posts are the reasons y'all should stay off this site!

that Chi O cuts outstanding legacies who end up pledging top houses. Personal experience with that issue. No "wise owls" in this group!

EVERY house cuts legacies. That's just a way of life in recruitment. Some aren't allowed to cut them until second round though. You should never depend on being a legacy getting you a bid because it won't.
Chi O has members who are legacies and many who are not. There are a lot of stupid girls spreading rumors here because they are apparently jealous.
It's the goal of EVERY house to makes PNMs want them and feel wanted. Some do it better and some PNMs read way too much into situations because they so want to be in a top house. What are the houses supposed to say? Sorry there is no way someone like you will get a bid from us? No one is bid promising. PNMs are just unhappy because they got their hopes up and end up with their second choice.

Must be a lot of truth to original post since the previous poster has resorted to using words like stupid, ridiculous, jealous, and wtf in response! Would not want to be sisters with someone who freaks and rants like that. It is much classier to chill.

Every house is different but basically the PNMS are listed in order of preference and then that is matched with what the PNMS preference list is. That is how things are "mutual selection". Like others have said, you will have a better experience if you focus on your invites and not your cuts. Also, never leave any house that your receive an invitation to off your list. That has berm given the name "suicide". If you leave off a house, they could have been the only one that was going to invite you back and you end up with no bid. I hope this helps you out.

I hope every girl will read this. It may seem personal when you don't get asked back by a group but it isn't. The groups cannot know you enough for it to be a reflection of you as a person. Different groups place higher emphasis on different traits. Some girls will have legacies to help them out. You can't be in control so know you will end where you are wanted and be happy with those new sisters regardless of what letters they wear.

has no idea what she is talking about. This is the kind of stupidity PNMs shouldn't pay attention to. I received a bid from Chi O and I have no legacy connection, and there are lots of others that were in my class too.
