[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd at uva said it looks like tri sig got six pledges, which is better than last year at least. I hope some girls COB and get them back to a decent size.[/quote]

It was like 3-4.

Honestly, I put those girls up. It takes a lot more courage and independence to join a sorority like that than follow the herd to some cookie cutter top tier house. [/quote]

I do too, I give them a lot of credit and I hope they stick it out.[/quote]

+1
And the 3-4 happened because every PNM thinks they belong in a mid to top tier “cookie cutter” chapter and when they get to the last night and have only a mid tier and “lower tier” left, they will ISP (only put the mid tier on their pref card at the end) because most girls are very insecure and don’t have the strength of esteem to join a sorority that they are told is lower tier. In reality, the girls in every house are great—but there is just a stigma about joining a “less popular” house that makes girls decide they’d rather not join at all because they just don’t want to deal with that.
But the reality is that when you have 10 chapters to choose from, there are going to be groups that people consider to be on the top , in the middle, and on the bottom. But it’s all superficial because in the end every group has women who are amazing and will make great friends and incredible leaders, philanthropists, and support system for anyone looking for sisterhood.
So I hope those girls hang in there and thrive![/quote]

Yes and frankly many of those who had tri sig left, should’ve gone tri sig, meaning they would fit there beautifully. But it’s the rumors and negative talk that kept them away. [/quote]

How do you know this?  This all sounds like speculation unless you are a member of that chapter and met the individuals involved.[/quote]

I do personally know two members as they are friends of my DD. I'm just saying of all of the people who dropped, of which there are hundreds, there were more than likely 20 girls who would be their type of girl and who would have loved it. You might not know this but there was another struggling house "below" Tri Sig for many years, Gamma Phi. Last year was the first time they did not participate in formal rush and that's what made Tri Sig the "worst case option" for last year and caused all the drops and drama.

Also, they do not have 12 members. They are not as big as the other chapters but I'm sure they must have at least 30-50. I imagine alot dropped last year after the beating they took on social media and it's kinda hard to stay excited about your chapter when no one shows up for bid day. They had pretty normal pledge classes until last year and they picked up people in COB last year and in the fall. I have heard they now are up to 9 pledges and are doing COB so hopefully they will do more.[/quote]
