rush questions? 2017 freshman

- top house AXO and ADG (aphi slowly going down)
- anything above about 2.8 will get you in (some houses more selective)
- everyone gets a bid
- AOpi doesn't have functions and will take anyone

rankings: Ignore them. This is a site for trolls and rumor-starters. Let them have their fun--you think a kinder way.

grades: Every home has individual standard, sometimes far above recruitment's minimum. Rush with the campus minimum or better, be your sweet selves, follow all recruitment rules about choosing your homes, and you and your friend may be bid.

getting into a house: There are a very few women who get no home. It is a true rarity. Follow all the important recruitment rules and you should have no problem.

houses to avoid: None. There are no 'bad' homes. Panhel, the 26 national sorority HQs and the campus have official ways of removing them if they are 'bad'.

what are they looking for?: Willingness to work for the betterment of man thru individual, and especially group, actions.

do most get their top house?: PNMs have their ideals about Top Houses bent but not broken. Top houses are so popular they must cut the highest number of women during rush. That's an NPC rule agreed to by all 26 NPC sororities. Unfortunate pnm's get mad about that rule since everyone doesn't get invited to the Top Houses. They drop out of rush and come on greekrank to complain instead of attending their invites to the mid-low homes. Don't be that person; have an open mind and a generous heat about recruitment.

My best advice is drop the high school way of thinking. For real. Don't worry about what your best friend is doing, odds are you will drift apart if you open yourself up to meet new people. Rankings are ridiculous. Stop worrying about status.

And don't ever ask which houses to avoid! You can't make important decisions based on other people's opinions

You can't avoid any houses....you visit them all. Have fun. Remember the goal is to get IN one

1.) I wouldn't pay any attention to rankings on Greek Rank. It's just so all over the place, anyone can write anything. And you'll just get a feel of everything as you go through the process. But give every house a chance. I can honestly say that you will end up in the right house.
2. With you're grades, you're bound to be fine. Houses like Theta and Kappa are slightly more selective in terms of the grade requirements
3. You're almost bound to get a bid if through every round you "maximize your options". That'll make sense as you go through the process but that really shouldn't be something you worry about. Just show up to every party you're invited to and rank all your options through voting.
4. Like previously said, you can't really avoid any house, since during the first round you have to go to every house, so that's not something to really take into consideration
5. Each house sets their own set of "guidelines" each year before recruitment for what they're looking for. Community involvement, school involvement, sports, grades are all thing that go into consideration. Also there the legacy/influence aspect so whether or not your mom/aunt/sister/grandma/step-sister etc etc... But then of course just how much you "click".
6.etting your top house or not, it's extremely hard to say. It just depends who you have on pref night, but if you get to pref night then just know it means a house pretty much wants you and then it just comes down to numbers
