<strong>Subject:</strong><br />this is how sororities vote on PNMs<br /><br /> Poster Message:
Sharing this for OOS girls or girls without friends in sororities who know nothing about rush to even the playing field. Pnms should understand how it works so here is how. Each house pre-scores girls. What this looks like at each house is different. Some stalk your Instagrams some don’t. In general they rank you based on a system of points that gets added to your score from the girls you talk to in the house. So like .5 for high gpa, .3 for holding a leadership position, .25 for 4+ activities, .5 for being a legacy, .25 for a good rec letter. Other sororities do the opposite where having points hurts you and a ‘perfect candidate’ would have a 0 but having no involvement gets you 6, having no rec letter gets you 1. If depends on the specific sorority’s ranking system but it’s all the same concept. Rec letters can also help your pre score because they help the sorority know you. It’s an easy way to cut girls for thinking they aren’t serious if they don’t have one (some nationals don’t allow this openly anymore). Hometown votes if you know girls in the sorority they might vote on you. Again varies by sorority but they can vote on you and then this vote will be factored in with everything else. This means it can really help you if you’re a bit shy in a house having another good score weighted in will protect you from getting dropped. On the other hand if someone doesn’t like you in the sorority they can no vote you where they tell their recruitment team why you shouldn’t get a bid. Your first round conversations matter still despite this but sororities do have a rough idea of who they want now they don’t get every one of their top picks so there is still room. You can kind of tell what a sorority pre ranks by through looking at who is in their house. The party hot girl houses look at instagrams the most. The smart girl houses look at gpa. They all care about those things a bit but you can see where you might do better based on that. Some sororities score the conversations through one overall rank on either a 0-4 or 1-5 system. Some have lower numbers being people they want and some have higher numbers being people they want it varies by their system. Some sororities don’t allow you to vote people a 3 because they want it to be clearer where to cut. When it comes down to who they are cutting each day they will go through and ask if anyone wants to speak to save the girl from getting cut. This is why it’s important to make an impression. Not every house does this though or only does this for later rounds. Other houses vote on if you show their values, so if you show all 4 values you get a 4. The values are broad things like presentable/individual worth, leadership, academic, volunteering so make sure you talk yourself up and try to weave that into conversations. So what gets you a top score? Being a standout being the kind of person that a room radiates to. What gets you a low score? Not talking, answering in one word, or not fitting the vibe. If you come across as a major party type girl and are at the smart girl house even if you are smart it won’t matter you’ll probably be cut. The same is even if you have a good conversation but talk a lot about religious things you do you will be cut from the party house. Some of it is fit. Sororities tell the actives to use low and high scores sparingly. Most people end up in the middle. (Continued in comments)
