[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your DD is at UVA, I can tell you which ones may be in danger of shutting down. [/quote]

Interested - can you share? [/quote]

Do not post names of “struggling” sororities while rush is happening at UVA. These houses may end up with more pledges on Sunday (or in cob) and end up being fine. This is the type of behavior that keeps girls from joining these houses.[/quote]

Agreed and my dd is a fourth year Greek at UVA. That house youre talking about was a pretty healthy chapter before last years rush when there was basically a smear campaign against them on yikyak.  It was very sad. They went from having a good sized pledge class to 3, all of whole dropped on bid day. I wish people would realize that they could join and build on what they have and make it their own. They have a nice house and some very nice girls. When my dd rushed in 2022, they were not the “bottom” house and pledged some very nice “normal” girls. Such a shame.

I rushed at UVA 12 years ago (geez, time flies) and the house you are referring to still hardly got anyone. I got a bid and declined it as did many other women. I honestly don’t remember why I declined it other than I didn’t really remember having much of a connection with the house and assumed they gave me a bid because they needed people. [/quote]

My DD has a couple of friends in the chapter and getting three pledges on bid day was unheard of for that sorority. And then having them all drop. I think the year my DD rushed they at least had if not quota, they were at least close. There are some great girls in that chapter and it’s just been devastating to them. The house that had traditionally been the least desirable seems to not be rushing this year and lost their house last year, another shame. So here you have two houses essentially “going out of business” while girls are complaining that there’s no chapter for them to go to. Get a big group together of your friends and pledge, you can turn it into whatever you want it to be.  [/quote]
