i rushed in 2016 which was the biggest rush class ever at ua and in the country. i think after, it was released that our rush class had a 93% bid match rate which is EXTREMELY high. basically everyone who wanted a bid got one. as someone mentioned earlier, MOST of those who account for the 7% of girls who don't get bids are girls who drop from rush themselves. most of the time, these girls just realize that sorority life isn't for them and that's absolutely okay. after you go through your first day, you get a good feeling as to whether or not this is something you genuinely want. and for some girls, they realize that they don't want to spend thousands of dollars on something they're not 100% happy about. very FEW girls get released from rush. at the end of each day, your rho chi will tell you to keep your phone on overnight just in case they need to call you to tell you you've been released... and i know how nerve racking that is. EVERYONE is nervous that they might be released. but virtually no one is released from rush. the few girls who are released are released because of extremely poor grades or an extremely poor reputation. another factor for why girls get released is honestly because they're just weird. i hate to say it, but there are a few girls who go through rush and are outwardly very weird and they get released... there was actually a girl in my rho chi group who was like that and got released. point is, the chances that you'll be released are miniscule. and unlike what the first person said above, you don't need to be an outstanding candidate. yes, there are a lot of very well rounded and pretty girls who go through rush. but there are also a lot of very average girls who go through rush too. my best advice if you're nervous about this is to get recs. you still have over a month to get this done and recs are what will help you exponentially. in addition, pick your outfits and practice how you're going to do your makeup/hair. enjoy the summer and good luck
