i need some advice on how to pick houses!

by:    

So this is day 2 of rush and I need some help with how I should pick the houses. I went back to ten houses today and I really liked most of them with the exception of a few. I've looked at the rankings here and asked around for help but am still not sure of how the reputation of these 10 houses stand and hhow I should rank the ones I go to tomorrow, please someone give me some advice!

DG
Chi omega (really liked!)
Alpha Phi
AXO
AOPi (liked this house but had to go to the bathroom in the beginning so not sure if that would affect my call-back)
SK
ZTA
DDD
Theta (had a really quiet girl talking to me)
GPhi (not really feeling this house)

The best advice I can give you is to NOT go to greekrank for advice! It's worthless.

If you're smart enough to be here at Cal, then you should be able make your own decisions about who you liked.

I agree with the above poster. If rankings and reputations matter to you more than your connections with the women you met, then you're rushing for the wrong reasons. Go with your gut and you'll be okay! Also there is nothing wrong with needing to use the bathroom at a house. No house is going to penalize you because you had to pee.

I am really just trying to get a better grasp of how the girls at each of these house are (or have a reputation of being), because lets be real- talking to a few girls for a couple of minutes doesn't really give those going through rush a clear picture of a whole house. Obviously I'm not going to base my decision completely from reputation or ranks but I just want to get a clearer picture- that's it.

For those curious, I was invited back to seven (the maximum number) houses today:
Chi Omega
Alpha Phi
AOPi
AXO
ZTA
SK
DDD

Overall had a good experience, I liked most of these houses. I was a bit disappointed to find Tridelta on my slip instead of DG since I eliminated it from my rankings along with Gamma Phi and Theta yesterday. I'm pretty surprised I did not get a call-back to DG since I thought I had a good conversation with both the girls I spoke with...

Anyways, really looking forward to preference tomorrow and I hope I will get an invite back to Chi Omega and Alpha Phi!

Also if there are any other people going through rush out there that want to share there experiences here, please do! I'd love to read about it!

All of you who are being so cruel to this person who is only asking for help need to check yourselves before you start putting her down and belittling her.

To Miss Rush, I am sorry that so far none of the other people who have responded to your post have not been empathetic. Let's be real, there are a lot of hypocrisy that goes on in the greek life at CAL especially when it talks about a being supportive greek community and etc... However, this does not mean that supportive and kind people who want to build community are lacking in the greek system either. I know that my response is coming to you hours after bid day, but I hope you got into a house that you like and that the house who gave you a bid is sincere about receiving you as a sister. I wish you the best.
