What is "pre-major"? Is that the new PC term for "undeclared"?

I agree, I think the writer was confused about the optional parties, but then the chapter president used the same term in her quote? That's where I got further confused...

Yes, pre-major is TCU's term for undecided, and it dates back to at least 1991.

I noted the president used the term too, but was wondering if the writer mixed up the quote? That would then have led to her mixed up explantion in the article? Who knows?

Gotcha...just sounds like the writer left out a word (ie: was supposed to be "Pre-Med" or something).

I'm guessing that TCU Panhellenic had some "optional" time slots for parties in case they needed them due to large numbers. They ended up needing them, so that's probably what she's referring to & it just came out wrong. I know other schools do that "hold this time slot" plan, so that's why I'm guessing that. Either that, or she was flat-out misquoted.
