thoughts for incoming freshman

hey freshmen, it's easy to come on here before coming in the fall and read the "rankings" before srat recruitment/frat rush and be like "I wanna be in xyz srat/frat because they are ranked in the blah tier." just so you all know, the greek life social dynamic at FSU does not function exactly in "tiers" as people advertise online. everyone knows or is somehow connected to everyone else in greek life, and how people feel about certain frats or sororities and their social "ranking" is usually based on their own personal experiences with that house. of course there are some opinions that are more popular than others, and some frats are more associated with certain sororities sometimes, but don't let that stop you from finding your REAL home during rush/recruitment. no one will judge you right away just based on your greek house (or at least no one worth talking to), and you will make friends in other frats/sororities too, so find the home that you ACTUALLY feel the best in!
