What...in the heck happened this year???
by: Suri
Can someone please explain this? UT alumni here. I have several friends who had daughters with solid credentials that got dropped from most of the sorority houses. I heard many dropped yesterday before preference round.
We know it happens every year, but I haven't heard it happening as much as this year. These are girls that houses should have been competing for, not dropping!
Does anyone know what happened?

Someone is being very hateful on here. It’s either an alumni or someone that did not have a good rush experience posing as one. Multiple people are trying to explain how the numbers work on here and you don’t want to listen. It doesn’t matter how many girls are going through, the ratios are staying the same. Sororities still look at grades, involvement, resumes, recommendations and all of that. And yes- a large part of it is who you know. That’s how it has always been and when you’re looking to get a job after college, that’s life in general.
I understand being frustrated with the system but the alternative to cap rush numbers seems like a “solution” that would be going in the opposite direction.

Don't want to listen? I simply asked what happened and responded to a post that 1,700 were cut. That wasn't my statement it was someone else's. If you had read the thread from the beginning you would know that. You obviously picked it up in the middle.
I graduated well over 25 years ago. I don't have a dog in the race and I never said anything about about the current recruitment process other than my personal opinion.
I only made a statement that if UT wanted to reduce the numbers, as a university it's well within their right to do that. There's a long list of restrictions they can put in place anytime they wish. They can disaffiliate with the whole system if they choose. If you think it's an impossibility? When you get some life experience behind you, you'll learn the university can do anything they wish.

You win. Hopefully when I get some life experience behind me, I won’t feel the need to be 45 years old on Greek rank.

Need? 😂😂😂 It's called being resourceful. I think the other poster had it correct. In short, NPC has lost its way.

So your over 40 years old and you thought that instead of going to Panhellenic or your nationals with your grievances, you’d come to a site with like 3 actual Vols and a bunch of trolls who have never even been to Knoxville to air your complaints? Makes perfect sense.
Just kidding. You sound like a raving lunatic who doesn’t have a clue. Stick to house bashing little troll.

Quota is set after the MRABA cards are signed. If 2100 girls signed the MRABA then that number would be divided by the number of sororities and that would be quota. If girls didn’t like the fact that the “top” houses didn’t invite them back, but felt they were too good to continue, that’s not a flaw in RFM-that’s a flaw in them.

The tough thing with these massive numbers is that no one gets a chance to really connect. All the sororities have great things to offer. They all have sisterhood events, mixers, formals, homecoming partners, etc. They all have smart girls, athletic girls, hot girls, dumb girls, party girls, churchy girls, loud girls and introverts. Most girls could be happy in most sororities. But the same girls (or their mamas) that complain that they got cut from the top houses before the sororities "even had a chance to get to know them" are also dropping out of recruitment rather than continuing on and trying to get to know the sisters at the other house. The PNMs are cutting before they bother to get to know those girls. It's all about wanting a reputation. There will always be less popular houses that PNMs decide they are too good for, even if you bring in a new sorority or two.
