coming from out of state
by: ArizonaI am interested about rushing at KU, but I am concerned after reading posts about only being able to get in if you know someone. I currently go to a private catholic school in Scottsdale Arizona. I am from an upper middle class family, have a high gpa, and consider myself pretty outgoing. Are these factors enough to get me into a "good" house or is the not knowing anyone thing a deal breaker?

Don't listen to these people, they're butthurt jealous girls who probably didn't get the house they wanted and are salty because of it. Trust the process and be yourself and you will end up where you are supposed to be. There's plenty of out of state girls in top houses. Having connections to a house is obviously an advantage but as long as you keep an open mind and stay true to yourself everything will work out. Good luck!

A lot of the "top" houses are girls from joco and connections are important. however if they do like you and your daddy has a lot od money then you'll get in.
but i'd recommend going where you have the most fun not necessarily going where you want to look like youre having fun.

Oh my the pressure of being in a "top" house.....Guys in "top" frats aren't allowed to date girls in certain houses! Please get a grip KU I hope everyone will be able to think for themselves when they hit the REAL WORLD! If that is the greek culture at KU I feel sorry for everyone involved, unless of course you decide to stay in Kansas...

definitely consider the fact that the "top houses" are lots of girls from KC that have known each other for a while, but there are still a good amount of out of state girls in each house that are welcoming!
also don't be let down if you're cut from the "top houses." it's all a system of where each house thinks you'll fit best. The house I ended up joining was definitely not one of my favorites, and not considered a "top house" but I ended up loving it! I made many friends just like me who had the same values and interests as me! During rush you don't really get a fit of what your pledge class will look like, which usually become your good friends! Definitely consider that!
just trust the process because most people end up in the right spot even if they didn't think it was where they thought they'd be during recruitment!

Choose to be comfortable, not simply impressed. Every sorority will be hospitable and kind during recruitment, but preferential homes make you feel warm, cozy, and accepted for who YOU are.

#5 by: Out of State
I am from out of state and I went through rush, it turned out just fine. Did I get invited back to top houses all week? No, I didn't, but that's okay. I do have friends who are from out of state that in in houses full of JoCo girls and they don't have a ton of friends because everyone already knew each other going into it. I can honestly tell you that being out of state will make it harder for you to rush a "top" house, but odds are you will find ahole somewhere in the middle tier and be happy. Go through the process, it all works out how it is supposed to.

Didn't know anyone from KU come from oos, hot, money and legacy status. Not going to lie alot of the top houses are based on who you know....it's an instate school so the fact that girls choose friends from high school is to be expected. Don't be discouraged I love my house and have found great friends. Just letting you know if you get cut from some houses, it probably has nothing to do with YOU it's who YOU know.

Bingo. Same here. Dance team in HS, straight A's honor student, hot (sorry it's true), outgoing, friendly, rich parents, BUT an unknown. I got a middle house but have to say I'm extremely happy. The top houses are full of cliques and mean girls. Top houses are overrated.

With the exception of AGD no house is "better" than any other house, just different. A house with a lot of JOCO girls isn't any better than a house with a lot of out of state girls. Nothing about a house with a bunch of friends from high school makes them better.

I came from out of state, I was a cheerleader, had a good gpa, came from an upper middle class family and I am currently in a top house and have made a ton of friends. Don't be discouraged!!! The girls who know people already do have an advantage, but you still have a great chance.

So true. There's a lot of pressure being in a "top" house. You can only date guys in other pre-approved "top" houses, and cannot socialize outside your assigned group. I know for a fact one of the "top" frats isn't allowed to date any girls in certain other houses. Learned this freshman year, when all the guys who were talking to girls in certain houses had to end things because those girls weren't on the list of allowed girls. This works both ways btw. If you are out of state, assuming you don't know anyone at KU, don't be deceived by the illusion of top/middle/bottom houses. The house you are in has just as many kind, intelligent, funny, friendly girls as any other house. Girls in middle and bottom houses aren't unhappy, it's just the girls in the "top" houses think they are. It's a myth that if you say something negative about a "top" house you are merely jealous. That's so untrue. Most girls I know in bottom and middle houses are perfectly happy and have no desire to associate or socialize with girls who think they are better than everyone else and extremely stuck up.
