Had to chime in for just a minute because I almost thought I had happened upon Greekrank instead of Greek Chat when I read about only 2-3 chapters being desirable. All a PNM needs to do is take a journey on facebook or the internet and see that on bid day last year there were over 130 girls smiling ear to ear "throwing what ya know" in all 9 chapters not just 2-3! As a matter of fact just a little research on here will show that everyone got quota and several chapters got quota additions and upperclassmen that put them above these legacy ladden "desirable "few. I didn't see a crying girl in the bunch. I truly understand that girls naturally want to be a part of the sorority that an older girl from their hometown is in if they really like that girl. It can be so exciting for both girls and lead to situations like TNvol was talking about. But a girl who only wants to be in a sorority because she has heard they are the most desirable from tent talk is the one I feel sorry for. It seems those girls usually are disillusioned when they get in the house because they only care about the letters not the girls who will be their sisters. Or actually, maybe that is where they will fit the best if they are that narrow-minded going in. I would love to hear what "desirability" is based on. Pretty girls? Nope just one glance on Facebook shows that is in all 9. Swaps with the top fraternities? Nope that is more than just 2-3. Pretty house? Nope they are all gorgeous at Ole Miss. Campus involvement? Nope check the Panhellenic website these "desirable " elite haven't won the Chancellor Cup in years. Philan.? Nope they all have excellent charity choices. Better Sisterhood? Nope I venture to say ask any member of any of the 9 chapters and they love their sisters and are PROUD of their chapter. Being the chapter your Mom was in somewhere 25 years ago? I guess that must be it! A wise PNM would go through rush and realize that they will determine what they make of wherever they end up but that is hard to tell 18 years olds. Having been on both sides of Rush with girls at both Ole Miss and Arkansas the past 3 years it is really interesting how it plays out each year.
