Buckle up...Part 2

Poster Message:
- Every house has a number they can invite back to the next round and can't go one pnm over that limit. These numbers are given to them by panhellenic and are based on their recruiting history here, so each house has a different number based on the collected data and they are non-negotiable. These numbers determine everything. NOT MAKING A SORORITY'S CUTOFF FOR A ROUND DOES NOT MEAN THEY DIDN'T LIKE YOU, DOES NOT MEAN THEY FOUND YOU UNWORTHY  AS A PERSON, DOES NOT MEAN THOSE MEMBERS WOULDN'T LIKE TO KNOW YOU OUTSIDE OF THEIR SORORITY. Don't take being released personally, it really is a numbers game from start to finish.  Actives get just as upset when their favorite pnm's who they really wanted don't return. There are tears, emotional withdrawals, and anger when this happens but they have to get over it and continue to put on a good rush, just as you do. -  GPA is the first consideration. Every sorority has their GPA of what they will accept so only pnm's at or above that number are considered for Philanthropy round, unless there is some other factor to redeem them, like very strong legacy, alum or chapter ties, or having some kind of desirable celebrity (famous, Rebelette, cheerleader, pageant winner, model, etc). After that they will choose the girls they know or know of from high schools, home towns, friends of friends. They will also prioritize girls with accomplishments and resume points that they consider desirable. Also looks play a part. Girls with a 3.8 get dropped from certain houses all the time, because while their GPA was enough, the added considerations of connections or other highly desirable traits wasn't enough to push them over that almighty line.  - Then it all comes down to the two in-person rounds where conversation and how you present yourself becomes paramount. The sororities will be prepared to meet you. They will recognize you at the door and pair you with actives with whom you have something in common so your conversations go well. You need to give them a chance to see the best of your personality and understand that these are not interviews, they are about talking together and making personal connections so they can read your vibe to see if you are a good fit. When they ask you what dorm you're in, it's not really about what dorm you're in, it's about how you go from there. After each party the actives will make notes so they can remember their impressions. You should do the same.
