[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a pretty massive number of women rush their first fall. About 1/6 of them will either drop out of rush or end the process without a bid. Sorority numbers have gone up significantly every single year.

1/3 of women overall participate but I'd be willing to bet it's more like 40-45% of the most recent freshman class. 
 
Fraternity rush is definitely less intense although frat participation is growing too. [/quote]

My daughter rushed last year and ended up dropping. I have read that it is 1/5 of the girls end up dropping before the end, which seems like a large amount, imo.

Recruitment is hard at every school, I believed the myth that "william and mary is laid back and different," and I pushed her to do it, and frankly, I wish I had let her wait till her Sophomore year so she could figure out what she really wanted to do on her own.

Rush has changed a lot since the 1990s- Panhel changed the system so that before the big cuts were at the end of rush, now they are at the beginning. Sending a new college freshman through a process where she can be cut from half the houses after the first round is not for everyone.

Sororities no longer care about legacy status. It doesn't help them one iota. [/quote]
