dropped from top house, snap bid?

There were @700 PNM ladies going through Rush this month. Each of the 8 sororities had @60 open membership openings, 480 total. Most of the PNMs wanted to join one of the top 5 sororities, 300 total openings.

There are 220 to 400 disappointed, depressed freshmen PNMs tonight.

SMU must offer better social life options if they want almost $100,000 per year in total costs each year. Relying almost exclusively on Greek Life for a campus social life only serves those Entitled, Privileged 300 Legacy ladies that join their sister's, mommies', grand mommies' top 6 sorority each year.

2018 Summer Post

The above response posts are obviously from Panhellenic and sorority members 7 & 8. After reading these factual posts from ladies brutalized during the 2018 recruitment, I agree and sympathize with them.

Panhellenic again allowed legacies to engulf the Pledge Classes of sororities 1-6. Leaving well over 200 freshman ladies paying over $100,000+ a year to accept a bid from a sorority they were not interested in or be a GDI / GEED. Most of these 200 ladies transferred to other universities. SMU must make changes to its recruitment or face another disastrous failure in 2019.

While there is no predetermined number of spots the pledge classes most years come to 50-60 girls. I think a better rephrase is if each day for example a house to cut 1/3 of the girls that visited that day every day during recruitment, its a lot of girls that are great that they have to turn away purely because of numbers. Obviously every year and every house is different in terms of the percentages, but this is just to give freshman a general understanding that most cuts aren’t because a house doesn’t like you or thinks you’re not great, but you need multiple girls in the house to be in love with you to get a bid.
