freshman get ready

by: Upperclassman

I'm really sick of seeing some of the freshman girls rushing say their interested in only joining a top house. Just a little reminder that the top houses are very different personality wise and just because a girl is in one top chapter doesn't mean she's fit in in another. Also, our "mid" and "bottom" chapters all have great, smart, kind, and beautiful girls that you should not overlook! Please go into recruitment with a truly open mind, and DO NOT tell people, especially girls you may know in sororities, that you are only interested in a top chapter for superficial reasons. Most girls do not pref 3 top houses if they even pref 1, and there are so many beautiful and smart girls in going through that you need to keep an open mind over more than 3 or 4 houses

Not everyone can join a top house anyway. Freshman will be in for a rude awakening during rush when their favorite houses don't call them back (it happens to a lot of women). Keeping an open mind is the best way to rush.

This is so true. I ended up joining an upper bottom chapter and I was so confused during recruitment because in my mind I had all the attributes of a "top" girl. I was a cheerleading captain, on homecoming court, stuco officer, graduated top 10%, doing well in a rigorous major, and I always thought I was at least decent looking. During pref though, I preffed one top one mid and one bottom and ranked them in that order. You are NEVER too good for a chapter!!
Ps I love where I'm at now

Sounds like a couple of mid tier ladies to me. Sorry you couldn't get into a top house.

There's nothing wrong with "being middle tier". All our organizations have something to offer.

I'm not in a top house and I'm fine with that, but I just hate seeing girls drop out completely because they're too close minded to give other houses a chance if they're not happy with their invites

I'm honestly just afraid I won't get into the house that's right for me. Like, if you don't click with one girl you could get cut, even if you'd get along great with the majority of women in that house... Sigh

and why does it have to be a top house then? Our middle tier has great things to offer too!

@hi
For me it doesn't have to be top tier at all! I'd much rather be in a mid tier house than a top tier one of the mid tier is the right fit for me!

As a guy in a "top" house, I can promise you that "mid" girls are often much more fun and awesome to party with and be around.

Freshmen, please beware that you will not be "blown away" by any girls in top houses. People on here make it seem like its impossible to get a bid to a top house. You'll find all of them just have mostly average looking girls. I walked in and expected to see 200 barbies staring at me when I went through recruitment last year. Not the case. This is OSU, not Arizona. So if you really want top tier, go for it. You'll probably get called back even if girls on here want you to think we are super selective.

You can't say top houses aren't selective. It may be easier to get into one than like an SEC school, but 90% of girls go into rush with wanting either pi phi, dg, or theta and they obviously can't take them all. If you get called back great, but don't ignore what the other chapters have to offer in case you get dropped by your favorite top house.

Something for freshman girls to keep in mind: DO NOT be rude to a chapter you don't want. I had a PNM completely ignore me last year and guess what - we didn't call her back. If you limit your options, you're gunna have a bad time.
