rush 2016 question

by: Future baby hog!

I have a sister who's in/very involved in a top house and she is telling me most of the other houses will cut me right away because she's in that house. I want to be able to pick my house and really don't want to be cut by most of them before I have the change to decide which ones I like! Do you think they'll all cut me?

There might be some houses that do that but trust me, you will end up where you are meant to be!

Your rec writers not to mention your legacy affiliation and don't list it on your registration form. Do be truthful if directly asked if you have any legacy chapters but stress that you and your sister/mother/grandmother/whomever agree that you need to find the best fit for you. And keep your options open.

If your sister is involved in her house they are going to know that her younger sister is coming through and, chances are, so will girls in other houses. It will look dishonest if you just "don't mention" your legacy on your registration and rec letters. Better to be open from the start and just let everyone know that you are trying to find your own house and that may not be the same as your sister's. Some houses may cut you anyway. Good luck!

Me and my sister are in two different top houses, we went through different years. My advice would be to tell your sister you want to look at other houses, and if she has friends in other houses, she can try and have them keep you around. And if you find a house that is NOT your legacy and you love it, tell them, "I do not want to go my legacy, I want to be here" because if you show you want to be there, chances are really good that they'll give you more of a chance.

DO NOT TELL A HOUSE THAT YOU FOR SURE DO NOT WANT YOUR LEGACY HOUSE UNLESS YOU ARE 100% SURE!!!!! I've had far too many girls cry to me on pref night, swearing on their life that they wanted my house, only to be grinning from ear to ear on their biological sister's lawn the next morning on bid day. Be polite, but do not make me waste my time giving you a bid when you truly want your legacy house. This happens far too often.

A lot of times girls don't know who they want, bc pref is filled with a ton of emotions. MAYBE give the girls a break. I'm sure there were girls in your house who told both houses that they wanted to be there. Girls have to have strategies.
