TexasToast, I know it's probably not what you were thinking, and I am not a member of SDT, but you might consider them. Although they used to be the only option for Jewish girls, now they are not exclusively Jewish and are, as far as I've ever known, open to girls who are not Jewish. They don't do formal rush at all campuses so they are probably not on your radar. If you want to be in an NPC sorority, you might at least check them out. Your Greek Life office should be able to help with that. Best of luck with whatever you choose to do.

Yay! We will be anxious to hear where she ends up.

Do tell :rolleyes:

For the girls who got released... would also suggest looking into COB or the Sigma Delta Tau. What seems like bad news today might turn into being something great!

I am a sophomore too...! The thing is that they said and acted like they wanted me.... It hurts so bad! I will try the COB but for the SDT I don't know anything about them. I heard that they don't have any house yet.... I will check on them for sure

Good rushers make everyone feel welcome. That's why they're good! Unfortunately, you can think that they are treating you differently than other girls and assume you are on more solid ground than you actually are.

SDT may not have a house, but they have other things to offer.

This. Brick and mortar do not make a sisterhood.

There are pictures on their Facebook page of their new house. It appears pretty modest compared to the chapters that participate in formal rush, but even if not everyone gets a chance to live there, having a physical place to drop by can still be really cool.

It sounds like they are approaching this as something similar to a brand new colonization: national representatives are coming in and looking for women from all class years.

Sorry what is COB? I guess it is not what I thought it was

COB is continuous open bidding - my understanding is that it is only available to chapters that are not at total. I think there are only 2 or 3 chapters that participate.

really hope SDT does well at UT! I'd love to see more groups at UT too.

What are those chapters?

It won't be known until formal recruitment is over and chapters see how many women they get as compared to quota/total. Often, the chapters doing COB keep it on the DL, and if they need to pick up just a few women, they grab friends of women already in chapters. Your best bet is to let the GL office know you are interested and/or check out SDT if that is of interest to you as well.

Call the Panhellenic office. They will know for sure which ones.

Beat me to it! :D
