I have to laugh at all of the incoming freshman who already are talking about which houses they are interested in and where they want to wind up after recruitment. And when the basic fact that it is the sororities that do the choosing, not the PNMs, they whine and say "that's so harsh," and "that's so judgmental." Well, guess what ladies. Recruitment IS harsh and recruitment IS judgmental. And if you can't handle rejection (because the vast majority of women experience at least some sort of rejection during rush), well, you should forget about joining a house. Thousands of women sign up and hundreds of them drop when things don't go their way. Of those thousands, less than 500 wind up in so-called Top Houses, which means the rest of the women who pledge have to keep an open mind and consider all of the possibilities, not just a handful. The point is, if you really want to join a sorority there likely is a place for you. But rush is a week of doing your best and if you are used to being treated as if you are special, you have a rude awakening. Wait until you see all of the girls on the first day. They are the best and the brightest and you will be blown away by how exceptional they are. You will truly be fortunate to rise above the crowd. Sorry if that's harsh, but if you can't handle that reality, stay home.
