Very confused by my cuts

I am so sorry:(. Don’t take it personal. Like you said you didn’t know anyone, which means they didn’t know you either. The top houses are required to cut heavy first round. I was in your same position and am VERY happy with my house. But just wanted to let you know I get how hurtful it is to be cut. Lots of love to you 💕

I’m so sorry. It’s just so hard to make cuts based on a resume. And if you don’t know anyone it’s harder. I was in the same spot. I only had 5 houses left after opening round. But now you’re going to actually get to talk to actives to make a connection and they will get to know you. ❤️ PS. I love the house house I ended up in. You will too. Good luck

I’m in the same boat

You did nothing wrong!! Sadly it starts with connections and who you know. This is the reason every single house here is so incredible - “top house” quality girls are in every single house! You absolutely will find your home. Trust your gut and follow your heart. Don’t worry about what this stupid site claims is the best. If you do that, you’ll find your people and land exactly where you’re meant to be.

An alum of my chapter shared this and I agree.

We are constantly focused on how to modernize the recruitment process and overall access to chapters. So this year could be the greatest blessing we never saw coming.

The virtual aspect of this rush is going to be strange but also pivotal for the future of Greek life. This temporary recruitment style will almost certainly change at least a small portion of which girls get into which houses. Maybe girls that are shy will feel more at ease talking to a monitor and do better. Maybe a girl lacking confidence in big groups, that would have been overlooked in a typical recruitment, will have a shot in this setting.

It should level the playing field across the houses just enough to bring about necessary change. Next year when the current PNMs are running the show, they’ll bring in the girls that are like them, diversifying the pledge classes more over time.

I’m looking forward to seeing how the girls who graduated in a pandemic and started college in a mask will have changed things for all the girls coming behind them.

I was left with 3 this morning and two Of those I had dropped... been balling my eyes out. Have one I like left but just hope I can keep that till bid day

I got left with three also and they’re all ones that I had dropped. I felt like I had amazing rec letters and an okay resume. i just don’t understand how such big cuts can happen from sororities who only know us from a resume and a video that couldn’t be longer than I minute

I have four left. A top where I am a legacy and three lower. But I was happily surprised how much I liked the house I just spoke with!! I see what y’all mean by all houses are good!

Hey, don't let the number of houses you have left get to you. There are no "top" or "bottom" tier houses here. There are only houses that have been on campus longer and newer houses. Keep in mind if you select and are selected by one of the newer houses, what great opportunities you will have to help establish the house. Hang in there. Make new friends with everyone -

Just remember, you only need one! I know it can come as a shock to the system. Stick with it and hang in there. The first huge cut is largely based on connections. Now it's time to let your personality shine.
