Getting into a house

so i came from out of state as well and knew a few girls from a few different houses- but ended up in a top house that i knew no one in and had 0 connections to. grades, personality, reputation (and social media does play a factor, especially if they don't know you- that's the first thing they look at), play a huge role. this summer i would make sure your social media is completely clean (helps if it's cute too- i know it's stupid), and that you're practicing up on your conversation skills. appearance matters too so make sure you look presentable and cute for recruitment. connections definitely help- but you can stand out to any house based on your conversation and it will help you not be overlooked. be yourself and you'll end up in the house you're supposed to be in! best of luck

also ^^ i talked to a couple girls during recruitment when i was recruiting on the other side, who no one in the house knew or had connections to and i had great conversations. i made sure to let other members know about them and i wanted my friends to talk to them too. if members really like a girl that they meet during recruitment, they can recruit them hard for each round, even if they didn't know them before. we have gotten many girls on bid day who shined during rush who no one knew before

Hey girlie! I came from out of state & didn’t know anyone. Rush was very tough for me personally. Don’t get caught up in some of the bs. Just try to enjoy the week, don’t overthink anything, and be engaged during your conversations!

I think you will have a good chance at the three houses your looking at. Tri delt may be a little tougher so follow some girls on insta and let them know your interested during recruitment.

Hi girl, these houses are great choices filled with sweet people! Work hard this summer to build up your recommendation letters and resume! Looks is not everything but it doesn’t hurt to look presentable and put together (as you would for a job interview, etc) be yourself and put yourself out there! Rush is a tough experience so don’t give up and try to make friends along the way! I met some of my best friends through recruitment
