ADPI appearance vote

by: egr

I am an incoming potential new member and I thought I wanted to go adpi because my aunt and mom were but I heard the chapter specific to clemson all decides the PNM by sitting in a room and putting your face on the screen and voting... does that mean my conversations with them/legacy status doesn’t matter?? I also have a friend at Clemson that just dropped because she said it was a nice popularity boost but the girls didn’t talk to her. However some girls swear they love it so I don’t know what to think.

Your “friend” that dropped out should have never rushed in the first place if she wanted a “popularity boost.” You’re not in high school anymore so grow up. Stupid & immature.

Not even going to bother answering any of the other questions.

try your best on the rush first impression but follow your heart!! it may be hard to go a different route than your family but you have to do what feels right!! if they feel fake, drop them!

Clemson is not high school and people don’t think of popularity as a thing anymore in college. You aren’t going to be popular by being in any sorority. If that was her reason or anyone else’s reason for rushing, don’t waste your time.

Legacy matters to adpi probs even more to them than other sororities

I’m not in adpi but not going to lie all/most sororities put your face up on a screen and vote, it’s the only way the sisters you talk to remember you. It isn’t just for appearances, but last year each sorority saw 1200 girls between the first two days. Don’t take things personally and don’t rush for status and you’re fine.

like said above, lots of sororities use this as a method however adpi ranks there girls with initial judgements using this powerpoint. they do create bias

Not all legacies get in. Go with where you feel you fit in regardless of the letters

It’s used in remembering the person for voting. Voting would be more on conversation, not looks. Go through recruitment being yourself, TALK, and make your own judgments when you talk to girls in each house. They are not just interviewing you, you need to be interviewing them. They will be just as nervous as you, Just don’t let it show.
Don’t talk about which sorority you want. Give each house a fair chance. And, its not about getting a top tier house. it’s about finding the fit for YOU to make lifelong friends with. It’s about learning to serve others including working with charities. It’s not about being popular. And, no matter which house you end up in, just like in every part of life - there will be both good and bad people in it. These houses have several hundred girls as members in each one. When someone joins a sorority and says they couldn’t make a connection with anyone in that house, out of several hundred girls - then that girl is the problem, NOT the sorority.

Every sorority has a selection process just like the PNM does. I can’t say what ADPi does, but what I can say is that if you are a legacy in any sorority it should matter. It doesn’t mean you’ll receive a bid, but your experience should be good.
