recruitment

What if during sorority recruitment the different sororities covered up their letters? This would mean PNM would rush for literally the character of the girls and not for status. obviously there are holes in this because it wouldn't be hard to find out which sorority is which but it would be a cool concept. may be possible for spring recruitment.

You think it would make a difference if they covered up their letters, but it wouldn't make much difference at all. The so-called 'top tier' sororities are obvious because the way individual members show their social confidence. There is also a matter of looks. The truth is you might put the top ten best looking women from each house in a room without wearing letters and you couldn't distinguish which belonged to which sorority. But once you get past the top 10, the difference becomes more obvious.

This is definitely true, though this would be a cool concept.

What would be point be of covering the letters? The sororities are proud of their unique profiles. It would be like buying a car unseen just because you want transportation. Some cars are better than others. Some cars are more prestigious than others. If all cars cost the same, then who decides who gets the Porche and who gets the

No, this is not at all what's being described. What if you were car shopping and you had no idea what the make and model of the cars were, and they all cost about the same, and you were deciding which car you liked best based on just the features of the car??? You wouldn't know if you were looking at a Porche vs a Volvo vs a Mazda or whatever, you would just know what you liked about each one and which one fit you best.

Yes, but you're supposing that everyone can buy any car they want. In sorority recruitment, the "car salesman" can choose who she wants to sell to. There are only so many Porsches available, and the salesman gets to pick her customers.

Yes, but you're assuming that the Porche would be the most desirable to everyone but that is not the case. Some would want that, but others would be attracted to different qualities and not influenced by perception of a certain name. That's the whole point; without 'branding' you would notice the qualities of all the choices. And ALL the salesmen get to pick who to sell to based on who they think would be the best fit. Is a fast car with super quick acceleration and high maintenance too much for you? Not a good Porche fit. If you are looking for traditional, understated and really classy, then your car is a Volvo. Want a great all-around, easy to drive car without drama? Mazda. Sporty carefree nature lover is a natural for a Jeep. Etc etc etc

This analogy is flawed...

When you are investing your money time and energy you would be a fool not to consider researching the quality, value and track record of a car ( House) before commuting .

Yes, researching factual information is a good idea. 'Rankings' and 'tiers' are not factual; they are made up. Greekrank is not any kind of source for researching quality, value, and track record. House GPA, graduation rates, philanthropy involvement, campus leadership, disciplinary actions, what members put on social media are all good places to start. If knowing how many insta famous members or you tube personalities in a house is important to you then you can find that out too. But don't take rankings and tiers as fact.

This idea is stupid since most girls here rush for status. They think they will get into a top tier and if rush was this way, if they got into a lower tier they would drop. Sad but true
