rush

and i just want to say you might not get invited back to the max amount of chapters after open house round because of your gpa, but all you need at the end is one chapter to give you a bid! don't get discouraged, while a 2.9 isn't a fantastic gpa for recruitment and it may hold you back slightly it doesn't mean you can't get a bid

We also cut for other reasons too...not just gpa. I’m tired of PNMs coming here after the first weekend of rush crying because they have a 3.5 and still didn’t get what they wanted.

^^^^^^^!!!!!!

No one here can tell you how rush is going to go for you based on anything you tell us here. Or we can tell you is that yeah some sororities have a higher GPA than others and some will cut lower GPAs than others in some situations. There’s no garuntees. Go into rush with an open mind and you’ll find your home.

^im senior and this will be my third year recruiting, this is AMAZING advice

Perfect piece of REAL advice! Only thing is to remember when we talk about being “interesting” she’s not (I’m assuming) talking about how interesting you are as a person, but we have to check off some boxes on you in order to vote you in. They’re different for every chapter but from what I’ve heard they all pretty similar. It’s like “character” and “academics” and maybe something like “talents and skills” or “Interests”. Literally all I have to do if I liked you during rounds Is when it comes time to vote tell everyone “Anna May was great to talk to, she wants to be an engineer and was very passionate when talking about her major with me.” Our recruitment chairs ask if anyone else has anything to say. Another sister might say “Anna May also played volleyball in high school that shows she is good at teamwork.” Literally so basic. But the more good things we actually remember about you the more we will have to say and then in theory, more of my sisters should vote for you. Flip side, if we weren't gelling or a PNM was like hungover/disinterested/ruudddde i might say something like “She didn’t make eye contact/was difficult to talk to or hold a conversation with.” That usually gets the rest of the room to vote no in my chapter. If you also do something really bad like are actually rude we just straight up report you to our rush chairs who may tell Panhel. And I will tel all my friends in other chapters if it was bad enough lol. So don’t be rude no matter how much you think you “don’t like” a chapter.
