<strong>Subject:</strong><br />The truth about why UARK recruitment is so difficult!<br /><br /> Poster Message:
We all have heard how difficult recruitment is at UARK Most people would agree it is THE hardest in the country with Alabama being second. They usually have a few more hundred girls go through but five or six more sorority houses that can give out bids! Now that I have been on both sides here is my take as to why it is so difficult here. 1) It is extremely difficult for ranks to change due to cut numbers given each night to top houses. Reputable sororities do not care to invest in large sums of money for the mega mansions that would be required in order to be competitive here. DG is an amazing national sorority that does not deserve to be at the bottom indefinitely due to the system. 2) Luck Luck and more Luck is THE only thing that will secure you a bid to a top house if you do not have a connection. Luck that either someone on the recruitment team is so enamored with your video and resume that they pair you with a great girl that will then fall in love with you and give her time and energy recruitment week convincing others to feel the same way. Luck that your mom is best friends with a very powerful chi o alum that pulls strings for you with their recruitment team. Pi phi also has very involved alums that could help get girls to bid day. 3)It has been said before but the truth is more girls than not have amazing resumes. Girls that are not very involved, struggle in school ect… often are the girls that do not go through recruitment. The vast majority of girls that go through are involved with 3.5 gpa’s or better. 4.0 or 3.567 does not make a difference for a top house. So for all you 4.0 girls just know that. My roommate/best friend since day one biology class is in a top house and has giving me all the tea. 4) This isn’t your average southern school ( like Alabama) where your looks will get you an invite to the top house parties. I promise you based on looks alone you will not be able to tell a top house girl from a lower sorority. I may give an exception to the zetas who are known to recruit on looks but there are plenty of average looking zetas as well. They are fairly involved on campus so I would not say you could get a bid on looks alone even if you are stunning. I will add the same thing goes for kappa with wealth. You can’t buy your way in unless you bring something else to the table. It’s still 95 percent about having a connection. 5)Greek Rank. I came on here as well because I am from out of state and had no connections. I did not get very far with any of the top four houses. I am a cute girl with a great resume. Luckily this site prepared me for the cuts that came. No one wants to be cut from all the tops houses which greek rank so clearly highlights post after post. It human nature to want to have a full schedule of houses each round and it was very depressing when I opened my schedule. I am in a lower mid house and am very happy so just know that it only takes one house to receive a bid and enjoy greek life at the university of Arkansas! I hope this is helpful for any pnm like myself that believes she is the full package but found recruitment here extremely difficult. It is the system it is not you!
