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

[adiisis]

I am quoting this from something sent to my daughter who will be rushing at TAMU this fall. I have no idea if this is accurate but it's what the PNMs are being told.

This is straight from NPC and national sorority headquarters : All sororities are eligible to take Blinn Team girls. Now, local advisors, alums and the chapters can decide they aren't taking them but it's not a national thing. Membership selection is private so you will never know the local decision until you are a full member.

While I'm sure this is technically true... By the day after Bid Day, it will be glaringly apparent to all of campus which chapters declined to extend bids to the BT girls. Right? Or even by 1st period when the heaviest RFM cuts come down?

Conversely it will become apparent which house(s) The Blinn Women, in their own form of wisdom, chose not to join/attend.

I'm pretty sure the Blinn girls are not required to wear a scarlet "B", so unless someone has absolutely no life and is going to try and figure out which school each pledge attends (which would be quite the trick, given the fact A&M doesn't release bid lists) I think it will not be "glaringly apparent". There might be gossip, but we all know how accurate THAT is.

This whole idea is new to me so I apologize if my deduction is off-base (although the bulk of the thread has been along the lines of wondering how Blinn Team students will fare in recruitment, based on the OP's question).

I just assumed it would be apparent on those resumes or indicated otherwise in their recruitment registration, and therefore the sororities would be aware, even if the PNMs or campus at large were not.

FWIW I don't have an opinion either way on Blinn Team membership invitations, and I agree from what I know that they would be a competitive asset to any chapter.
