Shelacious,
juniorgrrl and I attend the same school. There are 10 NPC groups on campus and it is possible to be cut by 8 or 9 of the 10 houses. I went thur Formal Rush Fall 99 and after the first round of parties I only got one invitation back. Had that one house been interested in me still after the second round, I would have pref them and got a bid from them. But for some reason, me and the house didn't click and I was cut after the second round. There is no snap bidding here at my school(as far as I know) and no COB because most of the houses make quota during formal rush. The average size of all of the houses is 180 girls. Roughly, I would say about 1000-3000 girls go thur sorority rush (juniorgrrl can correct me if I'm wrong.) The majority of them being freshmen. When I rushed, I believe I was the only upperclassman who did(and also the only minority). The whole time,my rho chi kept saying how brave I was to be rushing(blah,blah,blah)
As far as how often being cut goes, that really depends. I really don't want to say that upperclassmen get cut more then freshmen because I don't know.
hope this helps

Oh, I forgot this in my last post:
I called LSU Greek Affairs over the summer, posing as a mother of a prospective, and saying that she was a junior, had been through last year, etc. What they told me was interesting:
"If your daughter got cut last year because of not having the right grades or recommendations, she could possibly be invited back this year. If it was for some other reason, she won't be invited back. 10 juniors rushed last year and about half were placed."
