My cousin's best friend (she is her roommate also) got 3 invities-black rasberry, mint chocolate chip and chocolate. They both have chocolate in common-which my cousin favors, her roommate is still unsure-she likes both the same, and it will be difficult for her to rank them. Hoping for some good news later on!

Someone may correct me if I'm wrong, but it's set at a certain percentage of projected regular quota.
Ex: if quota = 60, then sometimes UQ will be set at 5% of that depending on the number of upperclassman and what Greek Life thinks is needed?
Again, please correct me if I'm wrong, I don't want to spread any false info.

so if you can have 3 upper classmen and 200 go through...those are not great odds either.

Wow, I had always assumed that it was related to the number of UQ women participating.

I should clarify...assuming that each chapter takes their 3...that is still only 21 (3 x 17 chapters) and I believe close to 200 went thru this year.

There may be different ways of setting, but that's the way I read here on GC in another Big SEC school thread.
Hopefully someone can chime in on how UGA does it?
At any rate (as I said in the upperclassman quota thread) one shouldn't feel that it means they'll get a bid. Just putting that out there.

The girls I've heard from today all have 3 parties. But I've got a couple who haven't updated me today... I'm hoping it's not a bad sign.

Generally speaking UQ is set just like regular quota - the number of upperclass women signing bid cards divided by the number of chapters.

I hope that the girls get some rest. They all looked very pretty in their black dresses today in the pics shown online.

Hi all....feeling a little crappy today as my daughter was released from rush at 1:30 this a.m. This was her 2nd year going through and while she thought the friendships she had made in several of the houses would be an asset, I guess that it wasn't meant to be. Despite returning to 11 houses rd 2, she was invited back to 2 for rd 3. One of those two more than likely would not have been an option....on either side, so that really left her with 1 possibility. She is more devastated this time around as she felt she had a really good chance and did not go into the process with clear cut opinions on what house she "had" to be in. While friends and family have been supportive, and I certainly believe all things happen for a reason, it's difficult now knowing how upset she is. Fortunately at UGA there are many things to do....it's just that despite only 25% of the student being in greek life, they are just in your face with the things they are doing (which are all good and positive) and when you really want to belong to that group it's like salt in the wound. They play up all the great things about sisterhood, etc. so why wouldn't one want to be a part? Good luck to all out there.....daughter #2 graduates HS this year and should she be at an SEC school and decide to do rush, I think I will leave the country.
Nice chatting with you!
