pepperdine rush?

I don't know that it's necessarily generational, or even seen more at more "intense" schools.

We had lots of girls who were "queen of everything" in their very very small town high schools (it's easy to be the most popular girl in class when your class has only 20 girls) go through rush and not get what they wanted and have it be a huge wakeup call.

That too!

haha thanks! Thats exactly what I need to know...I heard rush there was different and I guess thats what no frills is. Im still undecided about where I'll be going next year, either pepperdine or ucsd. Thanks for the info, every little bit helps me try to make my decision.

The way Pepperdine does recruitment is becoming increasingly popular on campuses, mainly because it's how NPC wants things done. You'll still hear plenty of songs and see decorations, but the emphasis is on conversation. Get ready to talk, smile, and talk some more!

Oh, and about 300 women go through recruitment, and if you maximize your options (go to all the parties you're invited to, and list as many options as possible on your bid card) you will almost surely get a bid. The number of women released from recruitment altogether is very, very low. The sororities routinely either make quota or come close to it, which is how things should be.

I'm not sure how UCSB is doing recruitment now, but from what I've heard, greek life there is not as central to the social scene as it is at Pepperdine. UCSB has plenty of partying with or without greeks, so I know one of the "issues" greeks there have had over the years is convincing people that it's worth it to join.

Good luck to you!
