Ames44's LSU RUSH experience

[WhiteDaisy128]

I'm so glad it went well...stay open to all of your options! I'm glad all three groups would work for you, it's so good not to put all your eggs in one basket! But we can certainly hope for the best!!

What all is left? Just Pref?! So exciting! How many can you pref? I know it's probably at the beginning of this thread, but might as well post it again!

[Ames44]

Pref is 3 parties.. I think they said in our schedule that there is no talking allowed in between parties.. I'm sure I'll hear more about it at our Gamma Chi meetings tonight..

Cross your fingers guys! Not just for me, but for all the girls!!

[OUlioness01]

[theta sig agd]

>>>There are no bid guarantees at LSU that I'm aware of, else "going suicide" wouldn't be suicidal...<<<

I think it could be - at schools where things work that way you have to follow all the rules to be guaranteed a bid. You wouldn't be allowed to put down just one choice unless you only went to one pref. In that case, I guess you would get that house. Someone feel free to correct this, I don't know about it firsthand. Sorry for the thread hijack.

ok here is tomorow schedule:
Friday, August 22: Final day of parties known as Preference Party. This round will consist of a maximum of 3 parties to attend. Potential new members make selections at 10:00 am with their Gamma Chi's and parties begin at 6:00 pm. Potential new members sign their preference cards after their last party and have until 11:00 pm; depending on how many parties they attend.

We better get an update asap.

Ther is nothing pathetic about tearing up for their skit, I hope the girls saw you so they can see how much you love them.

As an alum of an lsu sorority... I know for a FACT about this... , say get invited back to three parties for the last round (Preference) You go to all three parties and then have to sit at a table and make the hardest decision of your life
Which house did I like the best!??? And on your scantron you have to rank all three houses in order to be guaranteed a bid to one of those three. Because at this point the houses are ranking you too. They have 3-4 (bid day) lists... ranging from one list of all top girls to 1-2 lists of good girls to a list of not good girls... in the last few years the potential new members have been SO good that if you make it to Preference the houses are usually very intersted in you. Say you only put 1 or 2 on your scantron out of the three... if those houses that you did list have you high on their lists then you have a relatively good chance of going there... if not you run the chance of not being offered a bid. as far as I know...if you pref with only one house and you rank that one house on your scantron then as long as you are not on their LAST list you will be offered a bid there.

[Ames44]

really? is that so? I heard about that from someone else.. but you put it in a much clearer description.

It seems as though the cuts for this round were really big.. Across the board.. Who knows what holds tomorrow.

So are you saying that if I pref with a sorority, my odds of getting a bid are much greater than before? I knew they would be better.. but I still have that doubt that I won't be guaranteed a bid.

What year(s) were you greek affiliated at LSU?

Good luck with prefs....

[JohnsDGsweethrt]

what's the max number of houses one could attend for round 3? is ames attending 3 or 5 houses for round 3? i'm confused? The max they can pref is 3 right?
