getting cut
by: Future PNMI hear that Rush is big at TCU. With that, how common is it to be cut from rush? Like not get into any sorority?

If you are open minded and respectful to all houses and put your best foot forward for every group your chances are still good of getting a bid.

This is not true. At all. An increase in the number of PNMs means an increase of the exact same number of bids that can be given out. It doesn't matter how many PNMs go through, that is the number the bids are based on. Quota (the number of bids given out) is based on the number of PNMs who sign a bid card on preference day. If you attend all your parties and agree to a bid to any of the chapters you went to a preference party for, you will get a bid!

most of the girls who do not get a bid are those who dropped out of recruitment themselves. They had chapters left on their schedule but chose to withdraw.
Another reason that girls don't get bids is after Pref (final recruitment round) they decide that they only want 1 or 2 sororities of the ones that they visited for Pref. Had they been open to receive a bid from any of the chapters that they attended that round they would have received a bid. It may not have been their first choice house, but it would have been a bid.
The number of girls who get completely released from all 12 chapters is very, very, very small.
Also, the number of girls going through recruitment has nothing to do with how many girls get released. More PNMs simply means bigger pledge classes, NOT that more girls get cut. If Alabama can place over 2000 PNMs we can place 1000. Don't listen to rumors that "there isn't enough room in the pledge classes."
Moral of story: keep an open mind to all groups.

<3 this response. This is true ladies! You never know where your new sisters will come from so be grateful. It's about friendship way more than letters on a shirt.

Well, it is a little late to start creating things that can go on your resume since it is time to be sending it in. However, you should know that what goes on your resume does not have to be only school activities. Anything that you have done the past few years, including summer breaks, is appropriate. I know a PNM who did lots of local modeling, commercials, etc. She also started a week long soccer camp for inner city kids with a classmate. She didn't put either of these things on her resume or recruitment application. Another friend of mine was an accomplished dancer. She didn't list any of her many awards/accomplishments for dance because it was through a dance studio and summer internships and she thought the resume was limited to just school activities. Instead she listed dance under hobbies but didn't say anything about it.

They probably dropped out because they were dropped by their favorites. That's completely different than being completely cut from recruitment, which is extremely rare.
Keep an open mind. Be nice and polite at all chapters. Stay the course and you are guaranteed a bid if you are invited to at least one pref party. It may not be a top chapter or one of the ones you wanted from the start, but you will get a bid. EVERY sorority at TCU has something good to offer!
