from a small town what are my chances

Legacy connections help sometimes but nothing is guaranteed. Keep an open mind and do not limit yourself to only two houses.
Both of the above houses cut pnms who had a sister in the house so your friends should also keep an open mind. No one is guaranteed a bid and it takes more than just knowing people in the house.

Thank you for being honest.

You might end up in a house that doesn't have any girls from your little town. Being from Dallas there are girls in every house from Dallas. I think it would be kind of awesome to be in a house where everyone is new! Good Luck!

Top houses do limit small town girls. It gets to be totally high school and caddy if they do not. Some great houses have suffered from letting too many of these small groups in them because they can never seem to move beyond high school. For example saying they are guaranteed a bid or guaranteeing others bids both very caddy. Everyone from one small town all wanting to be in same house is another example. That is not what Greek life is about and gives it a bad name.

I think you spell it b-i-t-c-h-y.

I have alumni connections in a top house. The alums make the final decision from what I've been told so I'm not worried at all. Any suggestions on what houses I should cut first? I don't want to lead anyone on when my decision has already been made.

Sounds like you would fit in perfectly with either one of those sororities.

My advice is to go through rush and tell every other house that you already have a for sure bid. That way they won't waste any more time on you after the first round and it won't take a spot from another girl who wants to be apart of a true sisterhood. Then pray really hard you actually get invited back to one of those two you mentioned above. Good Luck, sounds like you are going to need it.
