Odd Rho Chi question

From the Auburn thread:

What happens if all or most of the girls in a Rho Chi's group get cut before rush ends, and other Rho Chis still have a full group under their charge? Can they get together and help each other out with counseling, phone calls etc?

This just occurred to me reading that - I know it's luck of the draw who gets put where but I was picturing Rho Chi A who had 3 girls left in her group and Rho Chi B who still had everyone who began rush.

I wonder if Auburn purposely put together a bunch of non-freshmen in the same group because they're in the same boat with their class standing. It might make you feel better when the majority of your group is experiencing heavy cuts rather than having one transfer sophomore in a group of legacy freshmen. I know sometimes recruitment groups are done by dorm, so it's not always random.

I was reading on the Auburn Panhellenic site that for people who have outside activities conflicting with Recruitment (people in band, for example), that Panhellenic puts them all in the same group and they have an altered schedule to accomodate those other activities. If Panhellenic does this for those PNMs, my guess is they might do it for PNMs of non-freshman class standing as well, as you suggest.

To the OP - I'm not sure what happens to the PX's who "run out" of PNMs. My guess is Panhellenic would redistribute them to larger groups or perhaps have them help out in random groups where needed.

I believe AU's PRMs are divided by alphabetical order of last names. So, my guess is that a group with several upperclassmen was just luck of the draw rather than intentional.

That's kind of a shame because it would have made so much sense to group by year in school.

I'll admit I wouldn't know how they are grouped because I have no ties to Auburn, but logically speaking, just because your daughter is with other people with her last initial doesn't mean that Auburn didn't pluck out the non-freshmen and put them in their own group. It's still a possibility, and a likely one if they made special accomodations for people with schedule conflicts.

At W&L all the non-freshmen were always part of one recruitment group. Just a random aside.
