[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD has both UGA and UF on her final list. She is attractive, extroverted, and smart: VP of her senior class, homecoming court, varsity athlete, tons of friends, active social life. There is zero doubt she'd get a touse bid at UVA or UMD-CP, especially since she has older high school friends in touses on those campuses. But she is lured by the weather, energy, and tailgate scene of the SEC, and I'm wondering how rush will pan out for her there given she's not a stereotypical Southern belle and will know next to zero people to start. I can't see her ending up in a bouse, but I keep hearing that a touse bid requires existing connections, recommendations, even a family legacy in some cases. Is a mouse the best she can hope for as an out-of-state student not from the South? I'm not saying that's the worst thing that could happen, and obviously academics come first, but she wants to be in a social environment that matches what she brings to the table, and I don't blame her. Parents with out-of-state DCs at SEC schools (particularly UGA or UF), what has been your experience?[/quote]

I would not count on a "touse" (new word for me) at UVA.  The top 3 houses each had many PNMs (50+ in the one I'm most familiar with) with inside connections who dirty rushed who went to the end and then did not get a bid.  I personally know a dozen "attractive, extroverted, smart girls with tons of friends" who ended rush without any bid.  [/quote]

Did they audition them for their dancing ability?  Because that seems to be very important for publicity purposes.[/quote]
