Georgia's HOPE scholarship has definitely had an effect on rushee numbers. It's hard to even get into UGA now because the people with high grades and SATs who used to go to private out-of-state colleges like Duke and Vandy are opting to stay in Georgia.
This means that if you do get into UGa and you think you have a super shot at rush because you have a 4.0 and a 1300 on your SATs, big deal! So do at least half of the other twenty billion rushees--and they've all got great high school activities too! I saw the scholarship rankings at UGa recently--seems like most of the sororities were in the 3.3-3.4 range.
You'd think that all the sororities there would be full but as usually happens, they aren't because so many rushees get their hearts set on certain groups and would rather be independent than not join one of their preferred groups.
