OK I don't want to put damper on you upcoming rush experience....but don't forget this is still a mutual selection process. Don't desire to be in a house that you accept a bid without recognizing some things that I see going on with the chapter you are rushing just by the things you have posted.

It seems they are having serious membership issues. If quota wa 70 and they only took 40 that is almost half a quota. Definately a weaker group. Additionally you have gotten called by THREE members none of whom have communicated very well. THese sound like women who are very desperate for numbers. Depending which national it is I could tell you how much they push numbers (because some nationals will put chapters on membership probation for being size deficient)

Finally if there is problems with attracting women to membership in the chapter it leads to a host of other internatl problems. Sometimes it is hard to tell which came first the membership problems or the internal ones that made the group unattracitve to join. For example if women don't want to join the group than chances are the sorority probably doesn't have that great of a social calendar, will have trouble filling their house etc.

I am sorry to be so blunt and caution you to remember these are just my guesses but I do tons of recruitment work for my group and this chapter is showing signs of weakness.

You can always pursue alum affiliation with groups after college so remember you do have options.
