Real reason why axo’s rush failed

I didn’t pick my chapter based on social media but ok. Also AXO did well. Why are you saying they did bad?

I’m not saying they did bad. I’m just saying they might could do a little more social media marketing for the out of state girls who are less familiar with them during rush week but it’s not really their personality. Everyone inside rush knows their pledge class this year is very strong. And all the GR defection bashing comments prove it.

DG does the least SM got talk to them before you come for alpha chi.

Lol who are the 5 axo? No active would admit to other houses they didn’t like their PC even if it was true.
On that note 17 phi mus told me their pc sucks! And 22 zetas said they plan on dropping out because they’re so embarrassed by their pc!!

Yeah and nick saban told me he’s retiring this year.

Don’t be mad because AXO was smart enough to not pref KD’s fillers and you weren’t.

And drop the five AXOs that cried over their pref list or it didn’t happen.

Spoiler alert: it didn’t happen. No house is dumb enough to A) actually cry over something so dumb or B) admit they don’t like their new members.

THIS IS 1,000% A ZETA TO PUSH ANY HOUSE above them out of the way to try to claim they’re a top 5 house now.

Same troll comment, different year. Did they take 30 snaps too? Lmao. Gtfo granny.

You can’t go off actual numbers …only if they met and exceeded quota by a few.

First off upperclassmen can add up to 5 and not all took them. Second, if a PNM prefs 2 highly desired houses they will be more split than PNM who prefs 1 top and 1 lower ranked house because they will put the top ranked 1st almost every time. So…you can’t read much into those numbers except that a house made quota.

The lower number house could technically have more sought after PNMs….or they may not but there is no way to ever know that.

And while houses shouldn’t bring someone to pref they don’t want to pledge technically quota additions are PNMs that didn’t make the bid list for either house they preffed.

Quota was 131 and you are correct, numbers don't lie. Taking way above quota is actually not a good thing, it means a house had to take a lot of quota additions. Less desired houses have lower return rates and therefore have to invite back more pnms from round to round. These houses end up with many more pnms at pref that end up unmatched after they hit quota, so they need to be placed somewhere as quota additions. Stronger recruiting houses have higher return rates and must release heavier numbers. They get who they want so they have to cut harder and end up very close to quota. You can tell the houses that are less desired from how high over quota they are. So when you think 'oh they took over quota, they must be better' you are dead wrong and don't understand how rush works.

Yes and no. PM always has really good return numbers but I agree a higher number doesn’t mean a better pledge class by any stretch and there is literally no way to accurately determine that.

From what I can tell both PM and AXO both got really strong pledge classes this year. While that’s the example being used here, the logic applies to all house quota numbers.
