I was a legacy at chi o and had a former president write me a recommendation. I'm blonde and thin. I had a stellar high school GPA. I didn't think there was any reason why I should have gotten cut. I went into rush thinking chi o was the only house for me, because I had been told by alumnae that it was the house for me. There are no guarantees. I have a friend who was a double legacy at KD, had a rec letter, and still got cut. It happens at every house. At the end of the day, I am in a sorority that I love now and I definitely would not have gotten along with the girls in the new chi o pledge class after recruitment. They were nice enough girls, but they were definitely not "me". Rec letters mean almost nothing at the end of the day at most houses. It's just the truth. I don't mean to sound harsh, but if you have your heart only set on chi o, you may be setting yourself up for disappointment. Or worse, you get a bid and realize the girls around you are not who you fit in with or feel happy around. This applies to every other pnm who has their heart set on one house. Unless you literally have an active older sister in a house and went to school with 30 of the girls in that house, do not go into recruitment wanting that house and only that house. Even then, things happen and girls get cut from houses they didn't think they'd get cut from. You should be considering every single house until you see for yourself what the girls are like. Good luck.
