[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if you don't get invited to join any sorority?  Then you'd feel like the biggest loser.  Why are they so exclusive?  So that they can feel superior?[/quote]

[b]Far more students go through rush than there are openings.[/b] And yes, if you go through to the end and get no bids, it is pretty awful. DD1 specifically chose a school with no Greek life, but that doesn’t seem to be DD2’s plan. Dreading it. [/quote]

This is not true any longer. Any young woman who completes the recruitment process is guaranteed a spot. No one goes bidless. They may not get the bid they want, but every potential new member will be given a bid.  (The only school where this is not true is Indiana.  They are special snowflakes.)[/quote]

+1 How many times has this been explained since the first page?

I think some people have baggage from their college days and can't let it go. Times have changed. If you can't get over parts of your college experience, talk to a professional to process it and don't burden your kids with this outdated information.[/quote]

That may be the case at UVA, but it is not true at all schools. At my daughter’s college, they post the data after rush each year. Last year 7 girls didn’t get bids. The previous year, it was 17. [/quote]

Can you read?  I said "any young woman who COMPLETES the recruitment process."  Potential new members are dropped for a variety of reasons, but to get dropped by every group, you have to have 1) bad grades or 2)bad morals or 3) a mean, mean personality.  If you're not dumb or a total slut or a total bitch, you will be fine.  Ordinary potential new members will get a bid.[/quote]
