IU soroity rush statistics

Hi,

I am a concerned father regarding IU's sorority rush statistics.

Well, if I'm correct, they have a bed rush, meaning that the sororities only take the amount of girls that they have available space for in their house.

IU is possibly the most competitive campus for sorority recruitment in the US ( over 400 women went bidless in 2011). You daughter should still go through if its something she's really interested in, but she should make sure she keeps those grades up, doesn't commit social blunders, secures recommendations for every chapter, and keeps an open mind by being open to each group. Best of luck to her, as difficult as it may seem, it only takes 1 bid.

I don't understand. What is your concern? How does it involve you and what can you do to solve it?

He's probably concerned about his daughter getting a bid or not, as any parent would be.

"Soroity" is my favorite misspelling of "sorority" ever.

PConn, if you have a specific question about the process you can PM me. I am an alumna of Indiana and have acquaintances who are still there on campus. I would advise you to search the threads posted here about IU and read through those.

I don't think this is a real parent.

The misspelling doesn't necessarily mean anything. My dad is extremely intelligent, but he always complains that he has fat fingers and therefore can't type well, so he makes typos all the time, haha. Not saying that this is definitely a real parent, but it is possible!

I'm derailing, but I couldn't help but giggle at the bolded. This is in no way offense to your father, but all I could think of was this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DtbPOXFk00

It's not because of the misspelling. It's more to do with the diction + one post and no follow up.

Ah yes, I agree with that.

I just think "soroity" is really fun to say and I kindof wish it was a real word.

And lest we forget, there are 2 new unhoused sororities who seem to be taking large pledge classes. This isn't going to fix anything or guarantee any girl a bid (I'm sure they are still being selective) but it can only help. I would advise anyone making their ranking decisions to keep 1 or both of these chapters in play after the first round. This, as much as any campus, is a place for strategic ranking, not just ranking in order of favorites. All of the chapters are good; it's just that some are good and SMALL.
