[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all crazy.  How do they get bids if so many kids rush?[/quote]

The colleges bring new houses but it takes years for them to grow, especially if it’s one that’s not popular in that part of the country. That house becomes the “catch all” and a lot of girls drop out rather than join. Because it’s not that you were necessarily “wanted” by them but rather dropped by everyone else at some point during the week. They had a much bigger quota than the established houses because they needed members. And you must know active girls in the other houses or your odds are slim to none.   A big SEC school did this several years ago and it messed up rush so much for several years,  moms told their daughters to go to the other big in state U instead. Sorority membership matters a lot to them and they saw too many examples of undesired/unexpected outcomes.

I never rushed. I think the whole process is abusive and artificial.  20 minutes a day for three days is not “getting to know” you. Just do a lottery, same outcome with no emotional abuse and less drama.
