Continuing the swerve: similar to University of California at Eugene? Aka University of Oregon? Two years ago 20% of our student body was from California. I'm struggling to find more recent numbers, but I know they haven't gone down. Almost half our freshman class 2012 class was from out of state at 46%.

I just found out that the daughter of one of my chapter sisters went DZ at Alabama! Not too shabby for a Pennsylvania girl

a rumor was going around on an anonymous forum that Chi O accidentally dropped their top 200 girls instead of their bottom 200... any truth to this claim? How would people know?

Trying to tread lightly, ms-wise, but isn't that impossible from a computer basis?

Unless someone thought the cut list was the keep list, it is impossible. The likelihood that this would happen is astronomically small especially with the checks and balances that occur with collegiate members AND alumnae involved in the process. This sounds like an excuse for a PNM who thought she'd pledge XO to save face after being released.

"Of course, I would have been an XYZ if that computer glitch hadn't happened. All the top girls got cut and a bunch of randoms got our bids," said Suzie Sparkly-Snowflake. "That happened at my boyfriend's cousin's roommate's school three years ago," replied Becky Betterthanyou, nodding sagely.

Didn't we have this discussion earlier in the week that it happened at another school and a different sorority but again, the top 200 were dropped instead of the bottom?
Anonymous forum? You mean the tent talk/gossip chain?

it was on greekrank and yik yak both, so it's been around the rumor mill. I seriously doubt it, thinking about it, because this girl is a 5x legacy and went Chi O, so obviously she wouldn't have been dropped.

If you've ever worked with ICS in any capacity, you know that you're checking and re-checking like crazy before you make any sort of releases, invites, etc. No one running ICS at a school like Bama is that stupid.
That "entire top 200" thing is likely false and created by women dropped by Chi O in order to save face to their friend groups.
Other common myths across the country include:
"I was supposed to get a bid to XYZ but my friend told me that they accidentally cut the WRONG Sarah."
"I was supposed to get a bid to XYZ, but there was a glitch and all the girls who got XYZ invites ended up with DEF invites instead."
"I was supposed to get invited to XYZ, but they had too many girls, and had to cut someone, and my name started with A so I was at the top of the list.
These are all about as true as me being the Queen of England.

I think the "turned in the wrong list" rumor is a perennial favorite, occurring at a number of schools each year, along with rumors ofcertain chapters circling your fat, making you swallow goldfish, and getting an automatic 4.0 if your roommate dies during the semester.

Well, I know for sure sororities circle fat. My husband's cousin's dad's stepdaughter's best friend had that happen to her.

Sounds like University of Illinois Part 2...
AKA The University of Iowa

I was going to say the same thing but didn't want to take the thread even further off course. The closest to the Iowa/Illinois thing (50% of the freshman class every year) would be California and Arizona (or is it ASU?). Maybe someone should start calling it the UIIC (University of Illinois at Iowa City). But I still prefer The University of Iowa, Idaho City Ohio, since people are so easily confused
