Northern Woman Getting Bids at an SEC School

[Elephant Walk]

I don't know how many that dropped because of grades, but I do know that something like 1,500 went thru.

No, sweetie, that's how many delusions went through your head.

(Can I add "bless your heart" here? Someone from the South help me out.)

I wish you wouldn't speak of what you don't know.

The number released is usually around 15-20.

Also, I can tell you that there is no way there are 5 new sororities coming. There has been speculation of one additional sorority, depending on AOII's results.

I'd think that irishpipes' info was more credible than the other numbers that were posted in this thread.

Funny, one could say the same thing for you.

Are you stupid?

For 7 sororities, quota is 75. That puts it at over 500 because nearly every sorority makes quota. However, this year AOPi did not participate in rush and took around 95. Even further more, usually over a hundred to a hundred and fifty girls. Over half the freshman girls class rushes.

75 x 7=515 plus 95=610. Also, not all 7 groups took quota, so we're talking about maybe 600 girls going Greek. No way do I believe that 2000 rushed. Also, no way do I believe that kappababe is a KKG at Arkansas because of all the groups, the Kappas pride themselves on their scholastics and no KKG there would use such bad grammar and spelling as kappababe.

To quote her:

"Rush at an SEC school is very tough we have 8 sororties at my school 2000 girls entered through the recruitment process but only about 580 of us got bids to houses. There were some girls from Chicago and New York but they plegeded KD I think but there moms were from Arkansas and were in sororites so that may gave them an edge during the recruitment process"

Sororties? Plegeded? There moms? Sororites? That may gave them an edge?

I think we'll close this for the time being, as we've gotten waaaayy off the point. It will return.
