Actually DBB kinda said the same thing twice, she doesn't know how likely you are to get a bid is what she's saying I think. Quota is kind of confusing unless you've spent a lot of time dealing with it. What she's saying is that in the past at Illinois, juniors were factored into overall quota. For example, quota was 45 - and this included all freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors participating in recruiting. Consequently, juniors (and seniors) are often cut hard. This year, juniors are considered free - not a part of quota - common practice at some of the large southern Greek campuses. You'll often see quota displayed on threads like this for those campuses: ABC took quota of 45 + 3 juniors, or something of the like. Juniors not factoring into quota works to your benefit.

One would think that it would, but does anyone know what the junior return rates look like? (I guess I mean invite rates)

The chapters may not know how to work things if the OP only went back to six of ten possible.

It only takes one, so yes, I'd say there is.

I hope it works out. I just didn't get why it was helpful to point those posts out.

If you're going to repost, please wait til Sunday! Someone is already reposting then anyway (sarasmile I think?), plus then maybe you'll get to hear how it turned out

How on earth did this fun, entertaining thread (at least from the outside) started by an amusing (if initially misdirected) PNM turn into a trainwreck of alumnae from outstanding fraternities feeding on each other? Ya'll are stressin' me out! I'm bugging out until Sunday and will check back in to see how it turns out, LMV.

I really doubt we'll get a report back. Call me cynical...

She was online a couple hours ago...I think if she was going to continue this thread, she would have done so already.

Probably that she got tired of everyone bitching at her about the way she described her experience, but that's only a guess.

Do you think the way she described her experience was a good way to do it?

I agree that we can try to turn down the meanness and snark, but don't you think it was probably wise to point out some of the issues?

In general, is it really bad forum manner to re-post something that someone has deleted? It appeared that LMV's only concern was that no one re-post before Sunday, but maybe that's wishful thinking on my part.

This is what the Daily Illini has. Not much more than we already know.

i don't remember what i said about them exactly... i think that they're very pretty (maybe i said hot?) and that people seem to like spreading rumors about them, but i think it's just out of jealousy

(they all seemed really nice and really un-whatever rumors were being said)

littlemissvixen · #14 09-10-2007, 09:20 PM

oh, i also said that they didn't seem to take rush crazily seriously, because the girl i was talking to warned me before the song that rush could be pretty creepy and that the song was a little cheesy. it was really pretty though- they didn't yell/sing, just sang/sang. anyway, they were in my top 10.
