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

I'm picking up what you're laying down, but I think at UT, for the most part the chapter parity is such that it really isn't a problem.

There's also the chance that by actually meeting and liking some of the PACE women, the chapters will be more likely to lobby their HQ to alter their policy if HQ is reluctant to do so for whatever reason.

I'm all for that!

Really, I am against the sharing of membership selection information. However, I understand wanting to confirm that the PACE women would be eligible for bidding by at least one of the chapters before telling the women that they may register. Having every single one of them be cut after open house round because no one can take PACE students would be a nightmare scenario.

My unease is in the knowledge that it's probably not going to be one person confirming that bidding eligibility within the panhellenic community exists and then moving on.

I cannot imagine how disruptive to the process it would be if Rho Chi's had to sift through PNM files to determine if specific PNMs could be excused from a party for whatever reason.

Surely no more complicated than a right-click sort in Excel, and then putting the PACE women in their own Rho Chi groups. Easy peasy?
