I dont want to beat a dead horse but you knew that there were no obligations before Preference round. why would you drop before that?

If you had 8 houses to choose from, then you were better off than a lot of girls. IU doesnt have 8 struggling chapters, so that means you rejected houses a lot of women would have wanted to be a part of.


If you were hoping to get into a "top" house, the bad news is that you probably dropped from rush too early to get a snap bid, and thats even if the so-called "elite" chapters were short of quota.

a few houses might be participating in informal, but like someone said earlier, they're most likely the houses that you didnt want to be a part of.

This year, the house that historically struggled to get members pulled one of the largest pledge classes on campus (they should share their secret), so that should give you a hint about how good rush went for most chapters this years.

Your best bet is to talk to your Rho Gamma and register on the Panhel website ASAP. You may get lucky with informal if you're able to keep an open mind this time.

And there is always the option of rushing as a sophomore if things dont work out.

You are assuming that she is telling us the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help her God. Maybe she got cut completely after 8 party but is trying to save face. I don't see any reason why someone would drop out before they have to make a final decision either. Who knows this may be a troll anyway.

It happens all the time at competitive schools like mine. Just because you have a full party schedule doesn't mean you have a full schedule of "meaningful connections" houses. Lots of women will drop out immediately if they think their options are below them.

You know, I can MAYBE believe the whole "no meaningful connections" statement if a PNM has one or 2 houses left out of a possible 8.

But with a full slate of 8, yes, the "no meaningful connections" thing is ducktales.
