WestcoastWonder - I don't want to derail this thread too much, but your sister needs to be wary of where her Rho Gam or whoever is giving her all of this information (number of groups not making quota, why girls were dropped, etc,), is getting it. I know a lot of these same rumors/statements (virtually word for word) are on another site that shall remain nameless, and she needs to know that they are just that - gossip and rumors. Her Rho Gam might know how many girls were cut entirely, but she would have no way of knowing why they were cut for sure (she might offer a good guess, but that's all she could do).

True, and I should be wary as well. If you look through my posts it often sounds like i'm beating a dead horse and constantly bringing up her recruitment, coversations with her Rho Gam and things about grades this year. It's all speculation and hearsay. And the majority of rumors are probably from disgruntled girls that got cut from houses they liked.

I'm not trying to pee on your leg and tell you it's raining, just telling you what I hear.

But then, in doing so, you're perpetuating the rumors, hearsay, gossip, etc. We've discussed in other threads the damage being done by alumnae and non-members who are heavily invested in the past and maintaining perceived tiers, etc. In another thread someone made some ridiculous comments about Arizona recruitment. I'm choosing to ignore that, for the time being.

Sororities were founded at a time when to be a woman in a college environment was extremely challenging. The focus on scholarship remains to this day. PNMs with lousy GPAs will likely forever remain PNMs, unless they apply themselves seriously to academics.

Equivocating confirms what we already know. The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.
