Northern Woman Getting Bids at an SEC School

Rush at an SEC school is very tough we have 8 sororties at my school 2000 girls entered through the recruitment process but only about 580 of us got bids to houses. There were some girls from Chicago and New York but they plegeded KD I think but there moms were from Arkansas and were in sororites so that may gave them an edge during the recruitment process

I believe what you mean to say is 2000 may have signed up but some were found to be ineligible due to grades or dropped out of their own free will before going the whole way through rush. Any school that only places a fourth of its rushees who COMPLETE rush is in serious violation of Panhellenic policies regarding quota.

I know it sounds more "elite" to say it your way, but it really isn't the whole truth.

Let me clarify my last post
2000 girls entered through the recruitment process they dropped out for various reasons grades, cut by the house they wanted. By the end of the week only 580 of us recieved bids.

There is something wrong when so many PNM's do not get bids. This is a classic case where another sorority should be brought in. That this has not been done is the fault of both PanHell and the Greek Life people. I just can't imagine them not doing something about this. This is just wrong.

Grades are understandable. However, if the PNMs drop out because they were cut from the GLOs they wanted, that is not the fault of Panhellenic or Greek Life (maybe indirectly if they haven't stressed Greek Life in general). You cannot make someone pledge a GLO just to make your numbers look good.

I wish all PNMs would go through recruitment with an open mind and try to find a reason to like each group instead of focusing on what they don't like about each group. Yes, there are times when certain groups are not a good fit with a PNM and life would be miserable on both fronts if the PNM joined just for the sake of being in a GLO. How many times though have we heard PNMs say they got their 2nd or 3rd choice and can't imagine being in any other GLO?

We are actually in the process of recruting new sororties for our campus we got AOII this year and in the process of three years five new sororities are coming on campus but no details of which ones yet

Three years and five new sororities? I'm sorry, but I find that hard to believe.

I'm an Arkansas alum and I find that hard to believe too. I doubt that UA could find 5 new sororities who would come. There are at least 5 nationals that have folded there--good, strong ones--and you can bet if they folded, most of the rest are saying, 'No way." I don't even think those 5 have any desire to come back.

I also doubt that 2000 girls signed up for recruitment.
