[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northwestern sorority rush was brutal. Only 50% of girls who rushed got bids.
Brutal.

A lot of Manhattan private school girls didn’t get bids (many SIP) and are now thinking about helping recolonize a chapter that’s coming back.

Is that unusual for northwestern for that many girls to not get bids?[/quote]

Yes very. These numbers seem more akin to UVA? Or an SEC school than NU.

Rumor/theory from my kid is they have much more interest in Greek life (like everywhere) this year and they’re recruiting a “different” kind of applicant lately. 
More Vandy. Less Cornell?

A lot of angry kids and parents. And a lot of demands on university to encourage more Greek chapters to come back.[/quote]

Does SIP mean suicide bid? Could these girls really only see themselves in one chapter?[/quote]

NP. Also, familiar with NU rush this year.
By the time you get to philanthropy or pref, maybe yes given the other names on the list? 
The cuts were apparently really harsh at NU. Or maybe they are everywhere? Reports that pledge classes are around 40. Why wouldn't the school increase the pledge classes by 10-15 at least?[/quote]

Very harsh at UVA too. So many really sad girls. There are at least a half dozen on my daughter's hall and that is one hall in one dorm.  :cry: [/quote]
Are they sad because they didn’t get invited back to the so called top tier and they dropped? Or because they actually didn’t get a bid after filling out the form on bid day?[/quote]
