what happens if...

by: scared

I don't end up really clicking with the specific 1-3 girls who rush me in the first few rounds, but I know I click great with a ton of other girls from that house (from knowing them in settings outside of greek life)?

I'm just scared of getting cut because I didn't hit it off with just one girl or two girls out of like 200.

I'm a sophomore btw

Unfortunately you may get cut if the girls that rush you feel like you don't click with them or their sisters. I had a great conversation with the girl in one house round 1, but round 2 me and this girl had zero in common so it got kind of awkward and I was cut the next day. They do take into account though, "well maybe so and so would be great friends with them" if say you and the girl rushing you don't click very well. But if they go through that test in their head and feel like you don't fit, they will cut you.

I don't want to end up being cut from my home over this? Anything I can do to prevent it/reduce my chances? This sounds so luck and chance

Please don't go into recruitment already calling a house your home because you will have a very closed mind about all the other houses. I had a mindset I really wanted a house because I knew some girls in there, and then I went to a different house later and had much better conversations and good vibes there and ended up pledging there! Just trust the system, don't be nervous, and focus on being the best you you can be and itll lead you to where you're meant to be!

Oh I didn't mean a specific house now, I meant like if I felt it was my home after a round or two or if it could've otherwise been a solid fit for me, aside from those one or two awkward convos. But thanks!

^ If you go into a house and have a really awkward conversation, it won't feel like a solid fit for you. There was one house I kept getting invited back to all the way through prefs because I never had a full schedule, and I hated it. Every time I went there, I had an awkward conversation and one girl like spit on me and one asked me "so like, would you even have time for a sorority?" and I was like yah...
And I knew a few girls in the house that I grew up with or went to HS with. And I loved those girls, but the ones I talked to I just didn't click with. And so I knew it wasn't my home, if that makes sense.
Basically, if you keep having awkward conversations, it probably isn't meant to be.
Also, don't set your mind on a house early on. I absolutely loved these two houses, A and B we will call them. Like I was deadset on them. I loved every girl I met there. And then during Round 3, I got weird and awkward girls in both houses, and I walked out of there like "lol I'm not coming back for prefs" because I knew it just wasn't a match. And I ended up at a house that I loved from Round 1, and had good conversations during each round, and it was my first choice after prefs, but my point is, you won't always know early on. And you may love a house and the girls you meet and then it may change. It's unpredictable. So just go in with an open mind, and go with the flow.

I'm sorry "another active", but that doesn't make sense. You are technically generalizing all girls in a specific sorority as being the same. In every sorority there are different girls, with different personalities. There is tons of variety, if you're in one, you would know. And you would know that not every single girl in a sorority absolutely loves and clicks with 100% of the girls in their sorority. It's not probable. So is it possible for a PNM to fit perfectly into a house but just so happen to talk to ONE of the MANY girls in the sorority and just not click with that individual? Absolutely. Basing an entire sorority off of a short conversation with one of the numerous girls is extremely bias. There are many other factors that come into play. So no, I would not recommend dropping a house you loved previously based off one awkward conversation.
