cuts

The Atlanta girls need to stop having spring/summer parties where they tell their younger members to invite their senior friends. They are making predetermined bid lists. This practice should not be allowed and UGA Panhellenic needs to figure out how to stop this practice. The girls from small towns/cities and from out of state are at a HUGE disadvantage. Maybe they need to go back to having stricter quotas for how many girls should be taken from each region of the state. Please tell your daughters that the sororities that are deemed "not popular, low tier, or not old row" are the BEST ones at UGA to be in!!! These houses have the sweetest girls and have true sisterhoods. Don't give up!!! Accept those bids to the houses that might not have been your top choice...I know you won't be sorry.

My daughter is OOS (Western US) and had a great rush. She went 12-13 Round 1, 6-7 Round 2, and 3-3 Prefs in "old row houses". One house freqeuntly described as "highly selective" invited her to Pref round with no rec. So it is possible to do very well from OOS. Why did she do better than other OOS students on this board? A few thoughts for the OOS girls next fall.

While she is very attractive, personable, excellent grades and played two HS sports,so did many of those who are reporting multiple cuts. I was not in a sorority in college so her recs were spotty. Maybe 10 total, 2 for a few houses and one for about six more.

I think a couple of things helped. She did visited UGA for a 3 day weekend in April and stayed in Brumby with a HS friend who was in a top tier house. The went to parties, where the friend introduced her to girls from multiple houses. She Facebook friended with many and also corresponded on Instagram thru the summer.

Secondly, she met a HS SR from a GA HS that had friends in a top tier house. They decided to become FR roommates. That connection obviously helped.

What was interesting to me is not that those 2 top houses were interested, but so were other top houses where she had no connections. I think the rush committees stalk your social media. When they see girls from top houses commenting your Instagram, it creates a aura of you being a "hot prospect".

She still has to get a bid today so my fingers are crossed.

Listen up you little millennium entitled coward - it's grannies that built the foundation that you are sitting your disrespectful little derriere on and it's grannies and mothers and sisters and aunts and more that helped make houses throughout the country what they are so we can pass our passion on with confidence to a new generation. It's part of the responsibility of being a Greek.

What it ISN'T about is people like you. Do you talk to your own grandmother in person like you do in these anonymous comments? Seriously doubt it, at least I hope not.

Sisterhood is an honor and a privilege to be respected and should be treated as such. So pipe down grasshopper, leave the trolling alone and try to do something positive today for the world.

These old ladies really need to take some menopause pills to calm them down.

Hope everything will work out just as it needs to for everyone who went through rush.

I think you mean "millennial"
