what i wish i'd known going into rush

by: Non-Greek

Sorority rush is a very overwhelming experience. I went into it knowing nothing about the sororities and although that let me make up my own mind, I wish I'd known a little bit about each one beforehand. However I'm happy with where I ended up and hope you will be too! And if you don't find a fit (a shocking number of girls drop or get dropped by all but one or two), you'll be totally fine

General stereotypes (not 100% true but there's some truth, roughly ranked within tiers)
Top Tier - notorious dirty rushers, need money connections looks
Tri Delt: party the hardest, Elmo groupies
Kappa: more southern vibe, vape on their porch lol
Theta: consider the meanest, most stuck up (who knows)
Pi Phi: free spirits, middle tier but top because of "history"

Middle Tier - wide variety, where most end up
APhi: considered hottest/tied w Tri Delt, catty, superficial
DG: good looking but very catty, lots of drama within
DZ: rejects from two above, "easy DZ" (but that's very rude and unfair)
AXO: self proclaimed "chill chicks", "one of the boys"

Chi O: very sweet and southern, known for being religious
ZTA: great philan, wish they were Tri Delt or even DG/APhi
ADPi: very nice but bland, can't say much bad about them
SSS: nice and pretty chill, still forming a cohesive identity
SK: similar to ADPi, care a lot about their rank

Bottom - still great choices, just more "out there"
KD: very sweet, more quirky and feminist vibe
GPB: motherly vibe, don't care about ranks
Sig Delt: trying to improve, just got a house!

Maybe it would be a good idea to put some rush survival tips for PNM’s? I’ll start
Don’t get your heart set on one sorority, that’s just setting yourself up to be crushed

Don’t base your judgments on the judgments of others. Your best friends may have hated a sorority that you loved, trust your own gut.

Also the only people that reeally care about tiers are the top couple sororities and the bottom couple. Everyone else in between is indistinguishable in terms of “coolness”

Roughly the impression I got during round robbins

No one really gets ANY impression during round robins. It's survival of the fittest.. You don't get a real feel for a house until house tours.

Really? Because when I rushed I totally got an impression of what each of the sororities are like during round robbins. I did get an idea of where I really wanted to be in later rounds, but round robbins is totally significant
