Perspective from upperclassman
by: Woo PS
For any PNMs reading this — because I know I was when I was a high school senior — here’s what I didn’t know when I was in your position.
Top house doesn’t mean best house. Top usually means hard to get into. Each house gets a number of girls they can cut during recruitment. The bigger the cuts the harder it is to get in. They don’t have as many spots to fill, so it ends up being mostly girls they already know or girls that have some kind of connection. This makes the exclusive/hard to get into rep continue year after year.
I’m in what most consider a top house. I love my house, but I knew a lot of girls going in. What I’ve seen in my house and other top houses is girls that are not from Arkansas or don’t have lots of friends from camp or whatever going in have a harder time fitting in. Not saying it can’t be done, but it is just naturally harder.
I’m gonna give a high school analogy. If you move from OOS into a high school where you know no one your senior year and everyone else has been friends since elementary school, it’s gonna be harder to fit in. It can be done, but it’s harder.
Top doesn’t mean friendliest or happiest or best sisterhood. It just means hardest to get into. In fact like the high school example you’ll probably fit in better with other people who haven’t known each other and who have also recently moved.
The top houses in general don’t have as many OOS girls. The mid houses have more OOS. I predict things are going to change big in the four years you’re here because starting next year UArk is making it harder to get in if you’re OOS, so that means a higher % of Ark girls, which means us Ark girls are going to be spread through all 11 houses, even with connections.
Go where you feel comfortable. Harder to get into doesn’t = better. It’s math.

I REALLY LIKE THIS! I see AOII, DG, and AXO continuing to move up. AOII was moving up nicely, but they had a small setback. They seem back on track and are doing really well. I expect to see AOII and AXO have a really strong rush moving them up. I think KD and ADII are suffering, and I think Phi Mu and DDD are still trying to find their fit, but I think they all get good girls.

Adpi and kd are not suffering. They both have excellent recruitment statistics and genuine sisterhoods. Dg should continue to move up this fall too.
Pan love!

I do think ADPi is dropping. I had about 5 friends and GX group girls who had them on pref night and not a single one went ADPi

@pnm you’ll be ok I’ve never heard of someone not getting a bid. Some drop because they don’t get the one sorority they want but that’s because they do it.
And imo it’s dumb to quit just because you didn’t get what you want because there are great girls in every house

KD is not suffering. They are a very popular sorority with PNMs.
