| Summary:

We present exact results in softly-broken supersymmetric $text{SU}(N_C)$
chiral gauge theories with charged fermions in one antisymmetric, $N_F$
fundamental, and $N_C+N_F-4$ anti-fundamental representations. We achieve this
by considering the supersymmetric version of these theories and utilizing
anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking at a scale $m ll Lambda$ to generate
a vacuum. The connection to non-supersymmetric theories is then conjectured in
the limit $m rightarrow infty$. For odd $N_C$, we determine the massless
fermions and unbroken global symmetries in the infrared. For even $N_C$, we
find global symmetries are non-anomalous and no massless fermions. In all
cases, the symmetry breaking patterns differ from what the tumbling hypothesis
would suggest.
