if she drops out now, probably not. I know the rule is that you are suposed to wait for a calender year, but it's only like a month after rush at most of the texas schools so probably panhellenic would just let her rerush in the fall instead of waiting a whole two years!
I'm not sayin that's what she should do. I am just saying that she probably could.
Also, if she is talking about UT I know our chapter there did turn around their reputation kind of in the later 90s and they are doing really good now. They aren't like the top or anything but they are at max total or whatever. Plus I have a cousin who I think is probably in the group she is talking about at UT except she graduated last year and my cousin and her good friends in her chapter worked super hard to not be labeled as the loser/fat group and they know they have that reputation and it makes a lot of them mad because most of them are not like that and they are seriously trying to change it! She said they've been doing so much better every year in formal too. I don't think they made quota yet, but for the last couple a years they are getting closer and closer so they are making a lot of progress. And they are a really old chapter there and have like 100 members or something so its not like their going away!
When your a new member, it totally sucks to realize that there isn't a lot of pride in publically claiming the chapter that you joined, but they just need girls like crunchies to stick it out and give it a chance because they want to be the group that keeps girls like her, not runs them off with a scary reputation. Crunchies just needs to find the girls in that chapter that want change and convince the ones that are thinking of pulling out to stay! She probably doesn't even have any clue that the girls like her and the ones who are dropping out are the ones they are counting on to stay and actually change the reputation. Yeah I know it isnt going to work overnight but it will never work if the girls who are bothered by the reputation keep leaving instead of deciding to stay and be the ones to change it!
