do sororities drop a lot of pnms for db 1?

by: pnm

how likely is it for an average pnm to get 7 houses back for philanthropy? also what reasons other than gpa will girls get dropped after datebook 1? will you get dropped just if they don’t like ur vibe or will you only get dropped for like bad social media or an atrocious registration vid?

it's pretty common to have less than 7 houses for db2 (philanthropy)

Last year my sorority dropped over half of all PNM's from their videos. That still left us with over 900 PNM's to make decisions about by Pref.

what reasons were behind dropping them? was it bad videos or that they didn’t fit the “vibe”? or was it bc of social media or grades?

Do not expect to have 7 houses back for DB2. It can be really disheartening to only get back a few but remember you only need 1!

Does CU do that thing with quota where houses with higher return rates have to drop more girls? (I don’t know what it’s called). ie- Pi Phi wouldn’t be able to invite as many girls back as Tri-Delt because they have higher return rates.

Yes, I believe all Panhellenic sororities nationally must use release figure management. That means the houses with the highest return rates have to drop the most pnms each round. As someone else said, the top houses end up dropping at least 50% or more of the PNM‘s after the video round and that continues throughout rush.

For each datebook you will have a maximum number of houses
I’m pretty sure it goes like this:
DB1 - 7 houses
DB2 - 5 Houses
DB 3 - 3 Houses
Pref - 2 houses

DISCLAIMER!
It is very common and actually NORMAL to not have the maximum number of houses on any days. Please do not beat yourself up if you don’t start off with 7 houses (my numbers were 6,4,3,1)

Since you only had one house for pref, did that mean you knew where you would get a bid from? Or were you at risk of being dropped completely?

I knew I was getting a bid because I was the last girl out every day of rush (usually a good sign that they are interested) and I held great conversation with the actives I talked to! I don’t know of anyone who didn’t receive a bid after pref, but as far as I know you have to really mess up to get dropped after pref.

You are always at risk of being dropped completely unless you have 2 houses for pref. If you sip and don’t get a bid your rg will call you to let you know so you don’t show up on bid day w/o a bid 😢

you can totally get dropped after pref if you only have one house and you aren’t high enough on their bid list. this is why sip is really discouraged 🫤
