Rush at a school this competitive is the time to put on your big girl pants and accept that you are not the special snowflake that everyone loves.

I am not sure who you are addressing with this post, but as my post was not agreed with I'm tempted to think you were directing it towards me. If not, please disregard this post.
I never meant to say anything about special snowflakes although I can see how my post can easily be interpreted that way. I used poor examples to illuminate my argument. Ones that in the end did not make sense. My arguments: don't pick out houses that will cut based on grades day 1. You won't know that unless you attend membership selection. Honestly, most likely every chapter cut someone for grades after round one. I also think its crap to assume that chapters with the highest GPA on campus will correspond to the chapters with the highest GPA requirement.
In short, everything below is what I (very very poorly) was trying to say.

And I never thought I'd agree with Hartofsec on anything, but she is right in that you really need to shut your pie hole as far as "my daughter's chapter does this" and "my daughter's chapter does that." If she shared confidential sorority business with you, I sincerely doubt she meant for you to spew it all over an internet message board.
Is it common knowledge that women with lower grades will get cut from more groups sooner? Yes. Is it appropriate to list names of chapters and why you think they will cut for ANYTHING? NO.
This isn't that site that you disparaged for "stupid myths." We try really hard to be Panhellenic and NOT repeat chapter gossip, reputations or why this chpater or that chapter cuts someone. If you don't get that, this isn't the site for you.
