I'm seeing a lot on here where freshmen girls seem to only think 4 or sometimes 5 houses are worth joining. If you have the mentality now then please drop out. You will NOT fit in to all of the top chapters. Even though they are top, they fill a niche and I guarantee that while you may fit in some, you absolutely will not fit in all.
Literally every girl going through recruitment has either pi phi, theta, dg, aphi, or sometimes kd at the top of their list right now. Be aware that these houses cut heavily and are good recruiters-they know how to keep a conversation going but will cut about half the girls after the first round. Not saying it is impossible to get a bid, but if you're only letting yourself be interested in about a quarter of the chapters you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
It sucks, but the thing that determines rankings is frats opinions (aka attractiveness). If you're only interested in being in a pretty sorority you are only perpetuating negative stereotypes of Greek life. Plus our middle and even BOTTOM houses have their fair share of gorgeous girls. Go through recruitment knowing what you want beyond reputation--academics, involvement, philanthropy, etc instead of attractiveness
Also note that NO ONE has a perfect rush. Even girls currently in pi phi were dropped by houses they liked during rush. I don't care how pretty you are or how popular you were in hs, you will have at least one day of cuts that hurt.
So keep an open mind.

Nobody knows what ZTA's membership selection process is. While this isn't the south, Ohio State becomes more competitive each year with the number of great quality PNMs. Look at the GPAs of each chapter and that will give you an idea.
If you think you will be rushing Zeta, get one if you are either a legacy or a friend of an alum.

The people writing your recs should send them to the appropriate VP of Recruitment. And it may or may not help your changes. Depends on how they cut. If you're scored too low in a certain area, your friends can't help you. Your name wouldn't even come up for discussion. However, it may help in later rounds or, if you make it to pref round, for bumping you up towards the top of the bid list.

God I hope you're being facetious. For your sake.
PNMs, if you think like this at all, do all of Greek Life a favor and drop out right now.

Its not even true. Les Wexner was in Sammy which isn't even recognized on campus. John Kasich was in Alpha Sigma Phi, have you heard much about them?

How important will recs be for ZTA? I assume they will carry more weight compared to other houses.
