Texas A&M: To rush or not to rush?

[Low D Flat]

Students from private schools (like the OP), as well as competitive suburban high schools, where it is very tough to get into the top X%, are overrepresented in the Blinn Team group. The university is more or less saying that it believes they are A&M material, and it would admit them if the law permitted it to. Putting them into university dorms says a lot about the university's confidence in them. It's not a typical community college population. Interesting program.

This is my hunch as well, but is it fact/documented anywhere?

It's what I was intimating in my initial post to the OP, but of course, I have no idea if she really falls into that category or not.

I recently spoke to someone in the greek life office on the phone who informed me that the decision to allow BT students to rush was just made on May 1st. Apparently there are some sororities that will not be allowed to accept blinnteam students because it states in their bylaws that the student has to be fully enrolled in the university. Any idea which sororities that might be? Also, would it hurt my chances to go through rush as a sophomore?
