rush ranking question
by: HelpI'm not one of those girls that could afford a rush coach so I have a question about ranking houses during rush. Should I rank houses lower that I don't think I'll get into? I want to get a bid and Im trying to consider bottom tier ones but I want a mid tier a lot more and love the top tiers but don't think I'll get in. Do I hurt my chances of getting a mid-tier by ranking top tiers higher?

No one actually has rush coaches here those are all people trolling. I have heard of girls that dropped all the lower houses earlier and then when those houses got more selective in later rounds they got dropped from all of them. But I think that's very rare. Drop the houses you didn't like! and honestly it won't matter much after round robbins because unless you're amazing at rush you probably will get dropped from some houses so you'll end up going back to some you tried to drop. My best advice is make sure you tell the house you want at prefs that you want them. It's very important at least in how my house ranks.

Can we not talk about which sororitys literally vote girls in/out based on their FB profiles? Beware.

There are a couple of good web sites that give more details on how you should rank your houses and how the computer matching works. Google them. I think it's most important after prefs, that's when girls slip through the cracks. But a lot often then get picked up with snap bids.

Sororities can't accept everyone who wants them (except bottom tiers). The selection process can seem harsh but it has to be done. The higher the tier the harder it is because more girls have to be cut. 30 minutes is simply not long enough to really get to know anyone so voting can come off as superficial. I assure you, it's not easy. Recruitment is an odd, stressful time for the sisters as well as the Pnms. Everyone needs to support each other.

To any freshmen girls who are about to go through the process: SERIOUSLY ask yourself before you make your decision: do I want to join a chapter of girls who weren't actually all that thrilled about me but gave me bonus points because I'm hot? or do I want to join a chapter of hot girls who only picked me because I seemed nice enough to help them seem less "fake" on campus? these are REAL qualifications certain chapters will use when they're deciding on members.

I can say that physical appearance is absolutely a factor when member decisions are made in some sororities. the whole "glitter and glue" concept is a real thing that affects the mentality of voting, although the chapter officials might not say it explicitly. ie certain girls are picked because they're glitter (hot) and some slightly less hot girls are picked because they're glue (nice and outgoing). do you want to be the girl that's just there as the glitter? No, you do not.

Give it a rest with the lectures. No one wants to be in a bottom tier and no one will choose it but if they end up in one they'll make do. But stop trying to convince girls they don't want to be in upper tiered sororitys.

That's what TIERS are, the more selective a sorority is, the higher the tier. It's strictly a numbers game, more girls want to be members of the higher tiers so they are more selective. RANKS are based strictly on personal preference.
Roughly, the tiers are
KAT/KKG/DDD/Pi Phi
A Phi/DG/DZ/Zeta
KD/AXO/Chi O/SK
ADPi/GPB/SDT/SSS

I got dropped from Kappa, Tri Delt, and Pi Phi already but the conversations I had were fine, should I just assume theta will drop me eventually too???

Most girls end up in mid-tiers. Theta will probably drop you but during rush anything can happen.

is dirty rush bid promising? I also got dropped from pi phi but not from tri delt, theta, or kappa yet. I want theta so bad and no one promised a bid but I went on rush dates and was matched with girls I knew during the rounds???
