No you insufferable tw,at I meant skit. If I was thinking of pref I would have said pref. You have to cut a ton of girl after Day 1, but those cuts are pretty easy to make. You have to cut another insanely high number of girls after philanthropy and before skit, and chances are there are girls you like that own't make it to skit. In very competitive houses, you're cross rushing a lot so numbers wise you need every girl you bring to skit to want to pref you. So as a girl going through rush, the hardest round of cuts, in my opinion, is after philanthropy.
But tell me again how I am thinking of something else, since you know my mind so well.

Actually as someone in a top house I understand exactly what "honesty" was (admittedly rudely) saying. Top houses don't get to invite NEARLY as many girls to their skits as mid or lower houses do, and in order to have the best pref you want every girl at skit to be there for pref. So as an active cuts after skit are hardest to make because you genuienly like all of those girls, but you don't have to cut nearly as many. As a PNM, you've gone to Go Greek and Philanthropy and probably really like these houses before they make another mass cut before skit. It makes perfect sense if you're used to being selective and competitive.

Thanks for giving a logical and straight answer to my confusion. Admittedly I haven't been on the other side of the process (Yet! fingers crossed!) so I didn't think of that

For me last year, it was the first round. If you have friends in the house, most will take you all the way to skit before they drop you. If you don't know anyone in the house, after the first or second round.
The hardest cuts to swallow, and where I saw the most tears last year occurred after pref. so many girls thought they were getting bids to their first choices only to be disappointed when their first choice cut them.

I agree. @honest above is mean, rude and doesn't know what she is talking about.
Most girls who have friends in the houses will make it to skit. After skit is when decisions have to be made and hard cuts are a reality. Once you get to pref, you know you will be on their bid list (somewhere). You may not get a bid, but you are 99% guaranteed a bid to at least one of your preffed houses.
If you get cut before skit it is because you are a grade risk, or a standards risk, or you simply don't have any connections fighting for you in the house.

K I do know what I am talking about. If you would LISTEN and be LOGICAL you would understand. Just because it isn't this way in YOUR houses doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about. If you are in a TOP house, I'm talking 3 here people, then you know this is true. MOST girls coming through rush these days don't have best friends in every house. We know who we're going after and we know those girls will at least make it to skit and then it gets nasty. AS A PNM, you probably have the same resume as 1,000 other girls and "know" a handful to no girls in every house. This is because a majority of girls are OOS, or aren't from the few top schools we pull form mostly. But you MOST PNMs aren't standards or grade risks, so they make it to Philanthropy of top houses still and have time to fall in love with us. BUT THEY AREN'T COMING TO SKIT. We have to cut another 600 girls after Philanthropy so the ones that aren't connected, weren't THE top girl from where ever they're from, etc are gone. SO AS A PNM, AN AVERAGE GOOD PNM THAT WASN'T BRED FROM JACKSON OR A DELTA/MEMPHIS PRIVATE SCHOOL, THE HARDEST CUTS ARE AFTER PHILANTHROPY. GOOD DAY BETCHES.

Let me state for the record that you are rude. I'm in a top house and I pray you are not one of my sisters!

"Good Breeding" often leads to inbreeding and a magnification of unpleasant characteristics. Using dogs as an example, the "good" (temperament, looks, intelligence) has to be balanced with the "bad" (health concerns, deformities, regressive DNA). Class does not go out of style. Breeding is for animals.

Oh good Lord it's just a term. Girls from private schools with Ole Miss families are absolutely "bred" / "raised" / "taught from a very young age" about greek life at the family alma mater. And I'm so happy that from a limited comment with relatively zero context you could tell myself and other members of top sororities don't look for substance or sisterhood and are only out for sugar daddies in college. Bless you, king, but we hand pick girls we connect best with that match the values of our groups (which have the highest grades, most involvement, and biggest philanthropy donations every year) and even being form the best school won't automatically get you in. As far as sugar daddies, darling love, we don't need one. We already have our real daddy and he taught us how to make it just fine.

Good catch "rebel frat" - all girls were at houses by 3, max 3:30. So...honest, how "honest" are you about being in a top house? Or are you a mom or alumn?

If you are saying that the 'TOP' tiers are looking to 'keep it in the family' and end up like the kings and caesars of the past... Then you go girl... In a few generations, you'll be licking pond scum. You know there is a reason the British Royals no look outside of the blood line for mates? T'ink on it.
by: rebel fratSep 18, 2014 6:44:55 PM
i think @wow... means that they have to/should look outside their blood lines. royals in general didn't look outside their bloodline to keep their $$$s within the family. but that backfired on them because of the inbreeding.

How narrow minded of her to think that only people from those areas are the most well raised people. She would shudder, if she knew what the rest of the world thought about MS, the South, and in particular Ole Miss. May I say just look at past news reports on CNN and world News. The only hope to change national opinion is to include people from other parts of the nation, and maybe only then, the news teams won't race to report the negative. Southern culture is about propriety, but those values are taught in many homes throughout the south. Sororities and Fraternities at Ole Miss would benefit greatly from diversity.

Whilst your opinion is regarded, it is disregarded.
And I have checked ESPN, SEC, and Princeton Review...
