RUSH NEEDS TO BE CAPPED

If PNMs would actually give houses other than the top ones a chance, there would be more strong chapters and less worry about so called ranks!!

That is not at all how it works.

First of all, it is against NPC rules for panhellenic to place a cap on the amount of pnm's allowed to rush. Talk about forcing "perfectly good girls" out...

Second, the pnm's are not competing for a certain number of spots, the spots are unlimited in number. The more pnm's rushing and staying in the process, the more will get asked back each round and receive bids, and the larger the chapter memberships will get. But the sororities are doing the choosing, not the pnm's. They decide which pnm's are not a good fit for them and then release them from their recruitment. You don't pick a house and join, welcome to not being in high school any more.

Second, it is no more 'competitive' with more and more pnm's than with fewer. The algorithm is percentage based, not hard numbers based, and the same percentages are in place no matter the number of girls rushing. You have the same chance among 500 pnm's as you do with 2000. Your position within the ranked lists would not change, you would still be above or below a chapter's percentage cutoff. Fewer pnm's just means fewer attending rush parties, fewer bids, and smaller nm classes.

Chapter Quota is set based on the number of pnm's finishing the process and signing cards after pref. More pnm's, more bids, and every pnm who puts down both her pref houses is guaranteed a bid even if it puts a house over Quota.

The system works and the sororities are growing and thriving. That's the math. Just because you didn't get your way doesn't make the math wrong.

And finally, how absolutely vile of you to say that receiving an invitation to any of our chapters here is to be "forced down the algorithm". You are one nasty, entitled, bottom tier human.

Rush needs to be capped from people like you.

Girl if a house has to cut 50% and you’re below that percentage then the numbers don’t matter, you just didn’t make that 50% cut. That’s how math works.

Wait a minute..."making it more and more competitive for people who rerush..." You are rerushing and it didn't work out for you AGAIN? Even though you had the advantage of being here for an entire year and every chance to make friends with sorority members who could vote you in? And the advantage of already having rushed once and gaining experience to do better in your second rush? And you think your problem is that there were more girls this time so it was more "competitive" for you? Yeah, that is a Hot take.

fr srats are getting pnms who they know they want- the process isnt set up to let them rly get to know new ppl. it feels unfair but unfortunately that’s how it works. :/
