how to make connections

by:    

I read this on another post:

"you want a spot in the four sororitys above theta (kappa, pi phi, tridelt, alpha phi) or the five key frats (dsig, adphi, snu, ka, pike) you better be rly hot, rly well connected with the upperclassmen, or in the case of tridelt, both.

basically if you're in that top block you're relevant (tridelt, pi phi, kappa, alpha phi / dsig, adphi, snu, ka, pike)

if you're in theta/pikapp/ato/wayne territory you're sorta relevant

and the rest is irrelevant

but thats just me (I'm clearly in said 'relevant block')"

How do I get in?? Really!

meet them in clubs. meet them at parties. meet them in classes. be friends with freshmen with siblings/friends from home in those frats and sororities. you have a whole semester (although the sooner you do it the higher the chances, lots of things are locked in by late november)

You can't meet them, it's either zip code, luck or you need to be top 5-10% in looks.

IMO being mid-tier as a guy is way better because you can absolutely clean up if you are halfway decent, girls at the upper end are too status / outside judgment obsessed to be fun.

you CAN meet them. it's difficult but you very much can if you have the confidence to and are good with making good first impressions. if your friend group is solid, talk to them at parties, meet them in clubs. go to their philanthropy events! Seriously, if you go w a hot/wealthy/polished friend group, you will all make a good impression and will look familiar during rush and they will investigate you more! it really does make a difference.

Do your research. Meet guys/girls out and at events. Be social, be outgoing. And remember, even if you don't want to drop a tier to theta/Wayne/pikapp/Ato, connections there help too, although they aren't nearly as necessary

SOS

just follow the advice written in the post. now is your time to heavily network with all four if you're a girl and all five if you're a guy. see who you like most, see where you fit in. but remember if you know 10 people after a semester the frat/sorority as a whole can be drastically different bc all frats/sororitys each contain a very diverse group of personalities so make sure to take rush into huge consideration as well. good luck freshmen.

if you're saying SOS chances are you won't make the 'relevant' block... try for the semi-relevant

Do NOT ask for numbers as soon as you meet someone. I made that mistake way too many times and no one corrected me. If they like you they'll give you their number.

asking for numbers isn't that bad if you make a good bond with someone, social media adds though are much less questionable

they're right, asking for numbers is weird

You can't float through rush on looks. If you don't have connection, you can float through on money and charisma. I know kids who got into KA and APhi without being dirty rushed. They're both attractive, but the other things mattered more.

By: Lol
by: yes   

this is so true - if you're attractive/charistmatic you don't have to be dirty rushed to get into aphi and ka and pike

tridelt, adphi, snu is all dirty rushing

dsig kappa pi phi if they really like you they'll take you but slim chance
