Thoughts for fall recruitment/rush

Go where you feel at home. Do not cry when you get cut from Adpi, Kd and Zta These houses are extremely hard to get a bid from. So many other good houses here too. Recruitment is petty and shallow .

Please trust us all when we say do not use "tiers" "ranks" and negative posts about srats (that are what generally get posted in this forum) as a basis for making your choice or setting your expectations during recruitment. Ranks are made by individuals who live on this site (which aren't the vast majority of greek life) and they create them based on their opinion of what is important to them. (honestly, ask yourself what is their motivation for making ranks in the first place) Don't use the so called ranks to tell you what is best for you, be open to the process and know that you will not get called back to every sorority (each sorority only has enough room each year for new members so it's not mathematically possible) and it has nothing to do with your worth. Be open, be patient, get to know the girls and go with your gut...I promise you will find your house!

this is SO a true. there are 100% benefits to being in every tier sorority that none of the other tiers can provide. bottom tiers often times have the best sisterhood, focused the least around boys because they aren’t super into frat relations. middle tiers really offer an amazing combination of sisterhood while still hanging out with some amazing fraternities, and most of the girls in these chapters are SUPER cool and funny. but they don’t hang out with top tier frats and they’re labeled “mid.” top tiers come with the prestige of being considered a top tier girl, and hang out with top tier frats and middle tier ones, but sometimes the top tier frats are a LOT and sisterhood can sometimes get too focused around frats and a little shallow. there are benefits to every single tier, and not every chapter is the same experience. you need to go into recruitment figuring out what kind of individual experience you want. i know girls in all tiers of chapters and they all love it, but for totally different reasons! pan love always, all the chapters are amazing and unique, and full of great women.

Trust the process and don’t let others tell you which house is better or worse than another. Nobody enjoys spending their college years feeling like an imposter in a house that doesn’t feel right, because they chose it based on some anonymous poll that made them think it was the best. Choose to be true to yourself.

I got caught up in the top tier thing. I got Bid from true top house but in reality I wish I would have gone with chi O or dz . I felt at home at these houses. Do not make my mistake. Forget the tier thing. Please . Senior this year. That is my advise . I would have had a different experience. I am not putting any house down. Sisterhood does matter. Make sure you join a house that has a strong sisterhood .

don't waste your time looking at all the so called "rankings". Don't like one? Just wait, someone will post a new "accurate" or "real" or "honest" ranking and then those who put any stock in them will fight over why it's wrong. Do yourself a huge favor and stay away from this site. Nothing but hate and misinformation to offer.

Good luck to all going through rush/recruitment this fall. Lots of great advice above. High school is over (except for the people who make these posts about tiers) and it's your opportunity to meet and surround yourself with the people who share your values and vibe. It can be a rough process, but if you are open to the process and don't let yourself get sucked into prejudging girls or guys before you even meet them, it will all work out.

darling. those women are going to push you into a depression hole and the Peabody building is not for you.. plus if you like to party just be nice to the guys at frats or bars (but don't let them in if you know what I am saying) in this age the nice girl who is good and sweet will get all that more attention (especially guys with money). Something to consider
