theta

It's not just you... Something weird happened with the bids this year. It almost seems like the bottom sororities were "given" their top 10 (at least the girls who still had them around for pref) whether the girl liked it or not. I'm not the only person who's noticed this... I have a suspicion that panhellenic was in on some sort of strategy to boost the lower sororities by altering the bid matching process. The cards definitely didn't fall the way they used to on bid day

One of my best friends pref'd with a Top tier, a mid tier, and theta... got theta and was devastated at first b/c she was basically a shoe-in for the mid-tier-- the alums who wrote her recs were shocked and so was she. She's come to terms with it now, but if the above really is true, how unfair. Oh btw, theta later told her she was in their top 10 - it was obvious at that point that something funny was going on

I'm not sure how I feel about this post. I'm one of the girls that picked theta over the two middle tier sororities I had on pref night because it's where I felt like I was home. The only bad thing about being in theta in my opinion is how some of the upper tier frats act like I'm nothing because of the letters on my chest even if they think I'm prettier than the chi o standing next to me. I really hope that people start to really evaluate the sororities instead of just automatically throwing us at the bottom because that's where we've always been. It would be nice to be treated like an equal on the row

Does anyone think that theta will eventually become respected as an average sorority on campus? I sincerely hope that their pledge classes continue improving. These girls are not at all as bad as everyone makes them out to be

Invitations and bids work? Do you remember those rankings you did at the end of each round? When you ranked "x" amount of sororities #1 and the remainder first, second, third, etc.? The sororities are also doing that. Do you remember ranking the sororities first, second, and third after prefs.? The sororities are also ranking you and depending on several factors you will end up on their first or second bid list. If you went to Phi Mu, KKG, and Theta and got Theta, it is because Theta placed you higher on their bid list then the other two sororities did. Your first and second choices matched to quota before they got to you on their lists. It was no great conspiracy. Panhellenic always tries to give the PNM her first choice, but if your name is not on your 1st choice's bid list the computer will then try to match you to your 2nd choice. If your name is not within #2's quota range, you get matched to your 3rd choice.Your first and second choices just did not place your name within the quota range. They liked you, and your name did appear somewhere on their bid list' but they did not like you enough to place you high.

I wasn't talking about ppl who put theta first so sit down please
