[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not going to defend the UVA frat rush system because I think it's very hard to get a bid because of how they do not force you to attend all of the fraternities, like they do with sororities. what happens is that guys go to maybe 6-8 chapters during open house (there are 28 total or something like that) and then they follow through with those and ultimately get dropped. Again like sororities, those are likely the most popular chapters and most of those already have their pledge class in mind. If the guys could spend more time at ALL of the options they would likely find a home for them. My DS is in a fraternity there and has loved it. They are not considered a "top" fraternity, but it has a great brotherhood and it's been awesome for him to break out of his shyness and meet lots of other guys. he lives in the house and is watching the Commanders game with a big group of fraternity brothers.  My DS only went to about 3 or 4 chapters during open house (it was virtual)  and to this day he wished he had given more thought to which, but he is happy with where he landed. I think the upper tier fraternities keep guys in the process for too long only to cut them eventually. That's one good thing about sororities that they HAVE to consider all the available options, which directs them to the places that match with them, rather than just what the girls think is popular or cool.[/quote]

My DS rushed three times, including to many of the low tier chapters, and got denied from all of them. I don’t think you understand how competitive it is [/quote]
