Rush at UofA

[Zillini]

As stated above, not registering until Aug will severely limit the choice of classes available even being in the Honors program. Classes fill up quickly and there are simply no other ones to choose from. This could have long term consequences for your major if you are not able to get into some of the pre-req classes you need.

For Recruitment, missing parties/rounds is a decision a PNM must make for herself, but should do so with a realistic understanding of the consequences. It is a huge risk. Since there are many other Orientation dates available, questions will be asked why a PNM decided to knowingly wait until the last one that falls in the middle of recruitment. Questions like how committed is a PNM to joining a sorority and to her education because she waited until the last Orientation to register?

Also keep in mind that chapters are only allowed to invite a certain number back. The competition amongst PNMs and the actives pulling for their favorites becomes more intense with each round. Not attending could be viewed as an easy/automatic cut if no one knows the PNM well enough to fight for her. Chapters will ask themselves why should we take a chance giving one of our limited invitations to Skit Day/3rd round to a relatively unknown PNM when there are sooooo many others we know better and have just as strong resumes? It might not result in being completely dropped out of recruitment, but the options will be limited.
