I think the problem with this is with PCs being so large at A&M, there will inadvertently be
someone with the same major and in the same honors program as I am, but how would I go about getting a sense of
how many there are? I mean if I were to ask "how many of your sisters are also underwater basket weaving majors?" I wonder if that would come off too direct or I wonder if my rusher would even know the correct answer. Also for the organizations, I would think asking "do you have a lot of sisters in X Organization," "do you have a lot of sisters in Y Organization," "do you have a lot of sisters in the Z Program" in succession would come off as way too interrogative and uncomfortable. Is there a way to get a definite answer without seeming too direct? I've done a lot of LinkedIn stalking for organizations that have public membership lists but it's pretty tedious and by no means exhaustive.
Also, because A&M is a semi-large Greek school, I'm sure (okay I'm using the 's' word again, but what 18 year old isn't sure of the world?
) that the rushers at all the sororities will be well-trained on talking about their study hours, study groups with sisters, etc. and paint it all in a rosy light. However, there are some houses that year over year, do very well GPA-wise and some who do not. How would I go about asking if it's the result of them 1)having a better study program than the others, 2)picking girls with "easier" majors, 3)just plain picking the PNMs with the highest GPAs? How much different can each of the different houses' academic programs be to yield such range in GPAs?
I'm curious what the difference between rush and recruitment is? I've heard the two used interchangeably in conversations.
