[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes girls will say they didn’t get in anywhere but they just mean they didn’t get into as popular of a sorority as they wanted and dropped rush instead [/quote]

Or sometimes it means they just got down to one they didn’t feel was a good fit.  Try not taking a mean girl approach to your hypothetical reasons other people do things. [/quote]

They don’t know it’s a good fit or not, it’s just not cool enough. [/quote]

The entire point of rush week is getting to know each other and choosing girls with snap judgments like speed dating. If a house  can drop you why isn’t it ok for the girls to do the same?  Two way street. [/quote]

It usually is a 2 way street after the first round because you can only go back to so many houses so you rank your top choices. After that, you get narrowed down and go to fewer houses each round. You can rank choices as a rushee, but you can’t / shouldn’t cut.

I went to a school that guaranteed a bid for everyone, but that meant you had to accept the maximum number of invites each round and rank as many houses as allowed each round. If you get to the last round and you only put 1 house on your bid card and that house doesn’t rank you within their quota, there is nothing PHC can do.

At my school each house could get our portion of the rush class during formal rush 2nd semester freshman year - # rushees / # of houses. 
Panhellenic would set a house cap number and during informal rush we could extend bids to sophomores and juniors who didn’t join or didn’t rush. Spots would occasionally open up when people transferred, dropped out, or quit. If you had a high acceptance rate and a big formal class, you might be over cap and any loss would just bring you closer to cap. You only could have informal bids if losses brought you under cap.
