Do I think SK, ZTA, ADPi have "lower quality" girls than the other houses? ABSOULTELY NOT.
However, that is how, regretably, they are perceived by the Greek system as a whole of the Maryland campus.
I was just commenting that after just one round, this woman's sister cut the, what I perceive to be the "lower tier" houses.
When the recruitment of round one "tours" went from the houses to the armory, I heard that was to make the playing field more level.
It seems to me that if it worked the lower tier houses wouldnt' be getting cut so soon.
Does that make any sense?
I don't mean to offend -- it's just my opinion.

I know just about every campus is like that - even my own. All of the sororities are fantastic and the sisterhood is real and true - but there are some houses that are just not on the same level as others. I think that idea about round one being a level playing field is fantastic - maybe it will take a few years to really show that it's working?
I asked my sister why she cut who she did... and she said b/c the girls she talked to didn't have much to say to her, the conversation was dull, or she just could not see herself in that particular house. I reminded her that every girl has off days and to not forget that as many parties she has to go to and as sick of them she gets at the end - so do the girls in the chapters. It's hard work!!!
Nevertheless, I know nothing about Maryland's Greek system - so when she told me who she cut I was like, "No! I love the ZTAs, theyre philanthropy is the best!" or "SK's motto is so cute though and they seem to have such a great sisterhood!"
But I know she's following her heart on this one and her cuts were for the right reason: she just couldn't see herself in any of those chapters!
my sister really is looking for the "home away from home" in a sorority - girls she can trust, love, and rely on. We're from Chicago - and she is quite a ways from home - the only person she knew when she moved there was her boyfriend - and he's at the naval academy so she barely ever sees him.
I forgot how much I missed the whole excitment of the rush experience until she started the process - and now i can't wait to find out where she goes
