anyone else feel cheated?

Chi o will have less this fall. The girl who had her stomach pumped after formal due to alcohol poisoning won't be back. The girl that assaulted the policeman during an investigation won't be back. The girls that stole the liquor from the bar during all of this won't be back. The party chairman won't be back! Enjoy your accomplishments chi o!

Process last year was flawed because it was poorly explained to both actives and PMN. Everyone should be aware this round and set expectations based on the new system. Pledge classes will be about the same size as last year. The leveling off will be seen in about two more years. Chi -O still has a couple of years with large pledge classes on the books. Keep an open mind or you will experience heart break.

It was not explained well at all. The actives rushing girls didn't know clearly what was going on.?

But the PNMs were not let in on the secret AT ALL! Show us where this time last summer this type of rush was explained at all.

This is a girl having a conversation with herself.

Why did KD have so many drop and Phi Mu? Can their members or the girls they are rushing not afford it? Look at ZTA...1/4 of the chapter dropped along with Pi Phi. Are they rushing poor people?

I've been in a sorority here for two years now and I still don't think I've found my home. I've tried to make friends & I was even an officer, but I still feel like I only have a handful of friends. I don't feel the whole you find your family, you find your home. I guess something just didn't work out for me. I might as well drop.

I went inactive. Never made any friends and just didn't fit well within my house. I bought into the you will love your house after rush, after bid day, and after initiation . Well after a year and $5000, I didn't loveit. Fortunately made some great friends outside Greek life and looking forward to next year.

To PNM go with your gut and trust your instincts. Best advice I would give is be yourself and if you get a bid to house you love give it a chance. If you are unsure, give it a year it may be the perfect fit. If you end with a house where you don't belong then don't accept the bid and life will go in.

What makes you so sure that you were a shoo-in for the houses that cut you the first day? Because a sister told you so? Because your mother is an alum and she told you so after she complained to the chapter advisors and nationals? Please. Nobody knows the order of the lists. And people will say everything and anything to an upset PNM and mom. All of you were not number 1 on the cut list of your favorite houses. You could have just as easily been cut from those houses if it had been the usual process. This talk of "I was tricked" or "there was a mistake" or whatever, is nothing but your ego speaking. I'm not saying that to be mean, just a reality check. You have absolutely no idea of how your rush would have gone otherwise. Would certain pledge classes have been bigger? Yes. But let's get honest here - they wouldn't necessarily have included you anyway.

And the advice of "stick with your house," and "give it a chance" is good advice you would hear on any campus after rush if you didn't get your top pick.

If you had an active say after a cut how much they wanted you (or mom), and upset they were when you were cut, and how they don't know what happened, and this process makes no sense, etc. Also know that they are saying that to every girl.

This is rush. With or without variable quota.
