being honest about getting a bid

by:    

To the pnms coming in august, connections re what honestly get you a bid. If you're trying to get into a top house(zta, chio,kappa, piphi) and you don't know a single person in the chapter, 9 times out of 10 you wont get a bid. This isn't even including if you do know someone and they have a bad opinion about you, all it takes is for someone to say they don't want you are you're cut. A lot of girls that were very popular in home town got cut from all the tops house and had a really bad rush. Youre reputation and connections matter more than anything. Good luck sorry if you think this is blunt but its the truth

I’m currently a member in one of the houses listed and had absolutely zero connections. It’s possible, I’m sure having a strong resume helps though, but don’t give up all hope.

Do you know how many people with strong resumes are in my house including me? Not in one of those four. I had a 3.86 and lots of leadership, volunteer ect…. I was cut from all but one of those the first night and then the one I had left cut me the night before pref. So congrats but for real your situation is rare. Those like myself from out of state with great resumes and no connections usually end up in a mid house and that’s ok!

Alright I’m addition to having a strong resume and great convos you have to have some sort of “it” factor they’re looking for, don’t know what that is.

Lots of girls have the “it” factor. Still this post is correct. For the top four houses connections matter the most. Here are other things that are very important in addition to connections for the top four
Chi o - having an alum pull for you. Alumni for chi o is very strong and they have a lot of say
Pi phi- strong resume. Good grades, leadership ect…
Zeta - looks along with personality. Easiest of the top houses to get a bid with no connections IF you have both of those and impress someone during recruitment
Kappa - honestly without connections your not getting a bid. Well maybe if you have big money and they know it.

If you want a bid to a top house and don’t have connections like how I didn’t, try to do the following:
-Interact a lot with their instagrams, follow members and like their pics
-get a good recommendation from someone in your community, they don’t have to know you super well but if they do that helps
-clean up your insta, have cute posts. Idk how much this matters but it can’t hurt
-leadership,volunteer hours, and gpa really matter.
-unfortunately looks do matter to some extent
-If you click with a member and they really like you then they’ll pull for you so that’s probably the most important thing
-Having some “it” factor that a top house is looking for is true. If you have something that they’re looking for to complete their perfect pledge class that they haven’t already found, then they will want you.
