Rush 2023- opinion

by: why does this even matter

To be honest from the bottom of my heart for all the PNM's coming in this year, look at every house carefully, because there's always a chance a house that you have had your heart set on pre-rush, may or may not take you back. that why the open-minded mindset is essential coming into recruitment. Don't disregard a house because as a freshman you see it as a bottom house, because once the ball gets rolling, and you become a junior/senior, your not going to care about that title, but rather care about the quality of the girls. Base the idea on how they treat you, how they interact with you rather than a status. Because once the party phase ends, you'll want more out of friendships than a surface-level connection. Each house on this campus is a good house, what I'm getting at is don't disregard the houses you see as bottom houses, just because of a social construct.

I totally 100% believe that OOS girls are happier in the mid houses. Top houses are fun if you already know everyone in them.

Yes, so much this! You can find genuine friendships in any house and I wish I took this advice to heart when I was a freshman. Prestige will only take you so far

Also the so called “prestige”, which I don’t think is really a thing seen by everyone at UArk, but even if it DID exist, you’re only here for four years and that “prestige” means nothing once you get out of Fayetteville. Top houses here are bottom houses at other schools.

Can we stop with the top and bottom tiers?? We all love our houses and we all want a quality sisterhood. We all have beautiful houses, great philanthropy, great sistershoods -- why put anyone down because it has been on campus for less than 50 years? Where is the "pan love"?? We are stronger when we support each other.

Can someone explain what happens at the parties? I know they’re basically like interviews. I’m not sure how that can happen over and over all week?!

I wouldn't call them interviews per se! They're more like conversations where both you and the recruiter are getting to know one another and deciding whether you would fit into the house. There's essentially three different rounds: philanthropy (first round, you are expected to discuss each chapter's philanthropy), sisterhood (second round, girls will tell you why they chose their house and what the chapter does to create a better sisterhood), and preference (the last round that usually gets really emotional. Girls will tell you in more detail why they chose their house and how it makes them feel to be a part of it). These are pretty soft rules though and the recruiter is generally the one who is expected to lead the conversation and go into these topics. We aren't supposed to assume that you know anything about recruitment or the process in general. Just be yourself, be friendly to the girls (even if you don't think you'll end up there), and make an effort to have a good conversation with each recruiter! Good luck :)

If you have an interview mindset you are going about it all wrong. It's more like speed dating and you're each trying to get a sense of the other's vibe and personality. It's not your answers to questions that matter so much as HOW you converse and come across as a person socially.
