I’m out of state, 3.8 GPA, rec letter for every house. Not really any connections. First day I kept- 1. Kappa 2. Pi Phi 3. Zeta 4. Phi Mu 5. KD 6. Chi O 7. Adpi 8. a chi o And cut Tri Delt, AOPii, and DG. However, I ended up being cut by Pi Phi and Tri Delt, so I ended up with 7 of the 8 I wanted and AOpii. Overall, I had a good rush but felt like it was hard to not listen to stereotypes and “rankings.” I made some dumb decisions about which houses to cut based solely on ranks. For example, I never felt like I connected at chi o or fit in at all. However, I continued to request them back because they’re “top house”. They ended up cutting me on the third day. I didn’t get too disappointed until pref day, when I was cut by kappa. Kappa was my favorite house during rush, they do a great job with recruitment. I was devastated. However, this is funny to look back on now because I would not fit in with kappa at all. I ended up in a “middle” tier house that I love and had a great connection with since day 1. Once I stopped paying attention to the ratings and seeing where I really fit in, that’s when I made the best choice! Could not be more thankful to end up where I am and I’m honestly happy that kappa cut me, despite how upset I was at the time.
