top tier recruitment

If you want ChiO your app has to make it past their crazy alumni who control recruitment. If you are a chapter legacy go straight to bid day. If not you need to be from ark or mo, have strong inhouse connections, and be really really like really cute. If you want kappa then you have to make it past their alumni. Chapter legacy helps but rumor is they will even cut a pnm with a sitting sister if they don't like her. You need to be from ark or tx and have inhouse connections. Do you look like Barbie but are smart enough not to harm their 3.56 chapter gpa and wealthy enough to go to New York or Europe with your sisters every summer? If you want PiPhi are you a top tier girl who may not have connections? Are you pretty and like to party hard? Maybe you don't want to fit a stereotype. Did you really want one of the other top houses but will settle with #3? Then PiPhi is where you will end up.

Every sorority looks for different things. These 3 sororities you listed for sure cross-rush, meaning that they rush a lot of the same girls. But, there are also quite a few girls that may only get rushed by 1 of these 3. They may just not know any girls in the other 2 houses or they may just not be what they're looking for.

There are a lot of girls that these houses "fight" over, but a lot that the others may not even know about.

ChiO and Kappa try to steal each other's top pnms especially if you're a legacy.

I got cut from 2 of the top houses for the first round, but kept another until pref, so I’d say they go for girls they find interesting.
