Most Competitive Rush EVER
by: Scared
With KKG opting out of formal recruitment this year, that leaves 9 sororities participating in this rush cycle, the smallest amount UNC has had in decades. If the trends from past years continue, this will also be the largest number of PNMs rushing. Ever.
Joining a house this year is going to be much more competitive than usual. And joining one of the Big Three is going to be cut-throat.
Good luck to all of the Chi O hopefuls out there. Y'all got this!

also totally forgot to add — I know this seems so random but a real issue facing the houses is that their fire code restrictions simply cannot accommodate our ever increasing pledge class sizes. At some point, these houses legally will not be able to hold all their members at once which causes a bunch of issues.

That right there is one of the dumbest comments about rush ever. Quota and RFM and membership totals are never going to be restricted by building capacity and fire codes.

Let’s clear up some things in this thread.
Yes only nine chapters are participating in formal recruitment this year. And yes this could be one of the biggest years for PNMs. But that does not mean rush will automatically be more competitive. Panhellenic adjusts quota and release numbers each year to help ensure PNMs are matched fairly and every chapter gets a balanced class.
The Big Three talk is mostly opinion. Some people claim certain chapters are more competitive but that changes depending on who you ask. There is no official ranking and every chapter has strong, involved members and great sisterhood. Recruitment is about finding the right fit for you not chasing a label.
Pledge class sizes are usually similar across chapters but not always exactly the same. The final number depends on how many PNMs rank a chapter and how many matches it receives. Chapters with strong retention may take fewer new members if most of their members stay active through graduation.
Bottom line is you do not need to stress over the so called top houses. There are amazing women in every chapter and plenty of opportunities for leadership involvement and friendship. Focus on where you feel seen and supported
Good luck to everyone going through recruitment this year!

These are the facts. The other stuff on this thread is ignorant ramblings and coming from someone who knows absolutely nothing about how recruitment is actually conducted. There is not a set number of spots at the beginning of recruitment, quota is set after pref, all houses will take quota and some will actually take more than quota due to Quota Plus, more pnm's going through means more will be carried at every round and there will be more bids, everything is percentage based and not on hard numbers, numbers are adjusted at every round as needed to ensure the maximum opportunity for a bid, and there is nothing special in recruitment about what some people call 'top' houses because 'top' is an opinion and it depends on who is giving their opinion. And the fire code comment is just ridiculous, no organization will restrict its membership for that. The recruitment system is designed to place as many pnm's with a sorority as possible, not to get rid of them. Recruitment will be larger but not different in any other way.

I mean they all have to take the same size pledge class. Non top 3 can’t just take more than top 3 bc they want to. Only time pledge classes are diff sizes are when not enough girls pref a certain house
