[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing that was interesting for my daughter, was that she met more people with similar majors in certain sororities. There definitely seemed to be some sororities which either attracted more pre-health students or, perhaps, kept them through the process. When you look at their highlighted internship opportunities, it made sense. These may not have been the most prolific on social media, but likely a better house for someone with the type of academic schedule that comes along with being pre-health.[/quote]

That is deliberate on the sorority’s part.  A result of the overorchestrarion of rush these days.  Girls are often limited to only talking to those with the same major and only a few girls each night, much different from meet as many sisters as possible rushes of past decades.  Girls then have to hope their assigned girls have a lot of pull in the sorority or they need preexisting ties to the sorority, such as other girls from their high schools attending, an older sibling, etc. . .

Many posters don’t seem to understand how rush works these days.  Everything is computerized, and designed to get the highest yield at each house.  The top houses have to cut a ton on girls each night, the lower houses keep far more.  A bottom house that underperforms reaching quota by a lot  each year will be allowed to cut almost no girls.  It’s possible for a girl to be ranked far higher at a top houses where she is cut than a bottom house where she keeps getting invited back, in fact, often the case.

Ha!  My daughter told me she kept meeting girls with similar ECs or majors.  I figured she must have been assigned them on purpose.  That's interesting about how the cuts are made.So are you saying a girl could be 80 at one house, but they invite 70 and 110 at another house that invites 140?[/quote]
