Question Re: Southern Rush

[APhiLife]

My chapter had a couple of girls transfer in each year. Our chapter tried to keep a very open mind and get to know the girls.
The only 2 bad experiences I remember were with two girls that transferred in from private colleges and just felt they were so above our public university. But luckily, they both decided to go alum pretty quickly.
I have definitely heard of this being a strategy that was discussed with girls who want to go to UT and SMU. Spend a year at a different state uni to make sure you can into the "right" house, etc.

Wow. If they were so above a state uni, why did they transfer to one? Not so high and mighty now. lol When I was active, we only had a couple of sisters transfer in and no probs at all--one I was never close to and the other was such a sweetheart. You'd have to have done something truly appalling for us not to accept you or have horns coming out of your head.
