advice to pnms

by:    

•If you only put down one house after pref, no matter how confident you are, chances are you won't get a bid. Don't suicide.

•the first two days, houses initially care about how you put yourself together and the conversations. Did you brush your hair? Do you have makeup on? Are you trying? Do you look presentable? Treat this like a job interview.

• Do not go in set on one house. Also, do not keep that house if you genuinely didn't like it or the conversations weren't engaging. This is the place you're spending your four years and where you will be making best friends. You will click with some houses and you won't with others. Don't force yourself to love a house because chances are you won't.

•Do not talk about how drunk you got one night during summer C, about your boyfriend, or other drama. Treat this like a job interview. Of course be yourself, but you're trying to convince the house why you would be a great benefit to the chapter.

•Do not mention you know someone during rush in that sorority unless you really do know them, not just "know of" them.

•Letters of recommendation don't really do anything other than show you desire a house.

•It's okay to talk about deep things with girls rushing you because it helps you bond with the house. Ex: sisterhood and philanthropy involvement.

•If you've heard of anything bad about a sorority, chances are it's not true, it's an exaggeration, or it's out of jealousy. Be yourself and you will find your home!

Goodluck pnms!

Listen to this advice! Most other things on this site are garbage. This applies to rush as a whole!

I agree with 99% of this, but want to emphasize again - PNMs don't get to drop or keep houses. That isn't part of it. At the end of each round, you are ranking the houses.

This is all true except I suicided ADPi and I got it. While it's not the best thing to do, I couldn't see myself in either one of the other houses I preffed so why accept a bid only to drop?

Because there are many girls who end up very happy in houses they did not choose. Give it a chance. You can drop before initiation if it isn't your thing. So many tears on bid day by those who suicided. It often does not work out. Even if a chapter loved you, there is a chance the numbers are so great you don't make it in.

Amazing! This is great advice but don't be superficial, if you don't wear make up don't pile it on for this. Be clean and go in feeling like your most beautiful self! (Definitely like you would for a job interview!)
