reaching out and making friends

by: freshman

I've had some sorority girls follow me on Instagram recently and I'm interested in rushing. Should I talk to them first? I feel like communicating with members is taboo like you're trying to convince them that you're the best pick for their sorority (even though it's July?). Do they get weirded out by that or is it seen as generally nice if you talk to them first?

Sororities 1-3 bid 85-95%+ to legacies ONLY.
Sororities 4-6 bid 70-85%+ to legacies ONLY.
Sorority 7 bids to 85% of PNMs.
Sorority 8 bids to 100% of PNMs.

SMU's Top 6 Sororities are almost a CLOSED LEGACY Society.
Spring Recruitment is a FARCE for most NON-LEGACY PNMs.

This Spring 2020 recruitment was another WELCOME CEREMONY for legacies. Panhellenic MUST fully disclose by October 1st, 2020 the truthful legacy-filled 2020 Spring recruitment results. Listing each sorority and number of legacies in each PC for the past 3 years.

This early Fall semester disclosure will prepare next Spring non-legacy 2021 PNMs the "realistic slim-chance of a bid" from the top 6 sororities. Hopefully preventing another Springtime of newly shocked GDIs.

Sorority 1-3 PCs are packed with legacies. Over 90%.
Sorority 4-6 PCs are loaded with legacies. Over 85%.

The remaining 5-15% sorority 1-6 PC members are from Big Chapter contributors, Famous families and star athletes. The remaining 3-5% are student leaders or proven academic scholars.

The average non-legacy PNM will be corralled into sororities 7-8. Panhellenic and the university will use numerous pressure tactics. The WORST is the university tuition and housing full refund deadline BEFORE recruitment results are announced. Then the university 50% refund deadline kicks-in just days after the results are announced. Leaving no time to pack and enroll in another university for the Spring semester.

Then...the COB illusion. Newly shocked GDIs are encouraged to participate in COB, where Sororities 7 & 8 are the ONLY remaining options available.

RELEASE the "Spring 2020 Legacy Disclosure Report" for the past 3 years by October 1st, 2020. Everyone is aware of Panhellenic's coverup attempts. You are NOT going to defraud the 2021 Spring PNMs with your PREDETERMINED LEGACY PC RECRUITMENT.

Just stop. Your constant posts and follow up posts pretending to be other people add nothing to the conversation. All this girl is asking is how they should go about reaching out to people. If you know so much about the makeup of every house, why do we need a report? Why do you have such a low view of people that use this website and think that none of them can get into a top sorority. People like you are the worst kind of people and I am not surprised at all you didn’t get a bid. You blame everyone else for your problems and pretend to be multiple people to validate your views.

FYI to the mom who is asking to have any legacy report disclosed: Please understand these girls are busy...( unlike you). Perhaps you don't realize that this is all public info in the Panel office. In addition every srat has a list of which legacy's made it and which did not. All public info- you and every pen is welcome to view it.

That's great news,

Please include the "Spring 2020 Legacy Disclosure Report" in our 2020 Fall Recruitment Registration Package, listing each sorority and number of legacies in each PC for the past 3 years. None of the PNMs were aware of it and it's public availability. Of course, it was never offered to us unless specifically requested.

The 2021 PNM made major points here.
Panhellenic's spin response posts were weak.

The Spring 2021 PNMs will now demand the legacy disclosure in this Fall semester.
If legacies do not dominate the top 4 sororities, respond back with accurate facts.
If legacies do dominate the top 4 sororities, fess up and save face before a Fall humiliation.

Hey Salty MOM-
While you are pretending to be a voice for the 2021 PNM's, you should know that the legacy report is in the pnm's
greek life office and we have had a slew of Pnm's view it over the years. In addition, we have had a record year in PMN's. Your lone voice must be tired but we do want to thank you for bringing this into the attention of PNms everywhere. Frats 1-8 are thriving.... despite your sole attempt to bring greek life down.

It felt taboo to me too when I was rushing last year, but I found that actually a lot of friends did it. Many people had more rush dates than I did because I tried not to seem to eager for one house. I ended getting what I wanted, but my choice was more about a low key Greek experience, which isn’t everyone’s preference. I would say go for it.

Why in the world would you want anyone to disclose this? No one cares. Honestly and truly, no one. Do you think you're going to solely bring down SMU? You are WRONG. People who attend SMU knows that there are not enough spots for everyone. You know when you rush you may not get the srat you want. So whats the problem? Join another one.... so simple. Your information from 2 years ago that frats 7 and 8 were in financial "distress" as you claim complete horse manure. All greek life continues to thrive, regardless of your laughable posts. Continue with your rants, bc you view life as unfair..... know that you have done nothing to deter greek life. Infact you have made it s much stronger.
