rushing overview
by: ....Does anyone want to give an overview of what the whole process of rushing for a sorority is like? I want to go to TCU next year and rush but I kind of want to learn more about the process... is there a possibility that you don't get a bid at all?

Fall Recruitment was extremely stressful for my daughter. She was a double legacy and was dropped by that house on Day 1. Legacy means nothing anymore - in fact, it seems it might even work against them as other houses will drop the girls who they think will pledge their legacy. My daughter dropped a couple of days later.
Spring Recruitment is not structured and drags out for weeks. Girls are invited for coffee or yogurt and then might not hear back for over a week. Few sororities are participating and they each have very limited slots (but no one knows how many). Some apparently won't even consider girls who went through Fall Recruitment (AXO). Bids are handed out at random times so the girls have to make a decision on the spot before knowing if another sorority is considering them. It is all extremely stressful - especially since they are juggling classes, exams, and homework at the same time.
I would encourage girls to go through Fall Recruitment but to be prepared and to know that 20% of the girls last Fall did not pledge as they were dropped (or dropped out themselves) during the process.

No body comes through recruitment without a little trauma. It is a very fake environment where your connections, money, looks and clothes matter. You have to go into things with no preconceived idea of where you will end up. Houses changes every year as old girls leave bad new leaders take over. Whatever you have heard about a chapter may not apply here when you are going through. It is hard and the competition is fierce but stay the course and you win life long friends. No matter the letters, it is the friendships and memories that are priceless.

You know nothing. You have no idea what other sororities' legacy policies are.
VIRTUALLY NO ONE GETS COMPLETELY DROPPED FROM RECRUITMENT! KEEP AN OPEN MIND AND YOU WILL GET A BID! Your spoiled closed minded daughter dropped out because she didn't get her way. She still had options left. She felt she was too good for some houses. Dropping out is in no way the same as getting dropped.
You need to get off this site. You're an embarrassment.
