rushing this year

by: okay

i want to join a sorority that will give me the ideal experience. by that i mean has a focus on school but won't have an outrageous gpa requirement, goes out but doesn't only talk about what frats they party with, and where the girls are genuine and can have a conversation that requires intelligence. i actually care a lot about giving back to the community, but i just think rush might be too superficial for me to find a group that is really like what i want and not just putting up a front. any suggestions?

You could say this is the experience in every house considering every house has girls that go out, every house has a gpa requirement, and every house does philanthropy. Unfortunately, every house is pretty fake during recruitment but that's just the way it is. From what you described I would suggest an upper middle tier or lower middle tier house, since you seem like you want a little bit of a mixed bag house, so I would say: Chi O, Kappa, AXO, Tri Delt, or Kappa Delta.

basically those are the average houses, chi o might be a little generous considering they put partying above most everything but they do have decent participation in other house's philanthropies. A Phi parties more than you seem to want, DG is stuck up so it won't be the genuine feeling you want, and Theta/G Phi don't party enough for you to get that experience.

comment above had it pretty dead on.

I would argue that Chi O parties a bit too much, like A Phi. Pi Phi is really bent on grades also. I feel like TriDelt is slipping into Theta/GPhi territory a bit tbh

Kappa AXO and KD are your BEST bets imo.

What do you think puts KD up in that group over Theta? I usually would have those houses equal in ranking that's why I'm asking!

I agree that KD has inched above Tri Delts. The past couple years KD has gotten the exposure everyone said they lack. Anyone putting them on the bottom is stuck in the past.

I would stick with Kappa, AXO, Tri Delt (in that order) and leave KD out. They're practically unheard of on campus and don't have a reputation at all. Super forgettable house.

As a sorority member you are not "given" an experience. You make your experience with sisters as a "house" at Oregon. Be a leader. Craft your experience to launch and be an inspiration:

Honestly question yourself:

What are the conditions of the house?
What is your financial obligation?
Have you made bonds with current members?
Do you care to participate in philanthropic activities?
Why do you really want to join?
How will you strengthen the house with your contribution?

Best you you in rush.

So you would say going into a phi you can have the same experience as kappa as g phi? I think everyone can agree that the house and the houses rep has a lot to do with the experience of the members.

you're going to get a different experience regardless but that doesn't mean "higher ranked" sororities don't have a great experience. you might not like it but you don't have to. i think there is some validity in saying that SOME dgs or phis are more materialistic and don't get the most out of it, but are they trying? theres a reason many girls want to be in those houses.
