2017 recruitment questions
by: greygal
Okay, so I'm going to be a freshman in Fall 2017. I definitely am going to rush to be in a sorority and just had a few things I wanted to ask/get opinions on!
-rankings. I see you house rankings on here but how do ya'll decide? Do general rankings matter that much?
-grades. What kind of grades do sororities look for? I have a 3.49 and take a lot of honors classes but my best friend has around a 3.0.. maybe a little below maybe a little above? I think like a 2.9, though. Will she still get a house?
-getting into a house. Do some girls not get ANY bids? Not including girls w bad grades.
-What are houses looking for besides grades, "clicking", and a positive attitude?
-Do most girls get one of their top houses..? I'm confused about selectivity.
Thank you!!

DO NOT let rankings affect your choice. Recruitment will go a lot better for you if you come in with an open mind. Grades do matter and some houses could drop you if your grades aren't at their average (it should say their average on their website). They base how they want you usually on how well you click and if your values align. Remember not everyone gets a "top house", but if by pref day you have at least one house left you WILL get a bid.

Grades- my house has a GPA cut off, we have had to cut some girls due to grades but not all houses are like this. The GPA cut off is individual to each house
Ranking- Most girls get a house in their personal top 5, that doesn't mean the house itself is known as a "top" house. Some girls do not get a bid at all, but don't worry there are snap bids, continuous open bids, and informal recruitment so a lot of these girls end up in a house anyways.
What we look for- I can't speak for all houses but for my house we look for involvement (did you volunteer in high school or hold any leadership positions? Did you play sports?) Someone who is engaged in the conversation and is excited to be here, positive attitude, personal presence (cares about appearance), and does NOT talk about how much they party or how many guys they get.\n\n\n\n\n

Snap bids are given to girls by houses that fail to meet quota. Continuous open bids and informal recruitment deal with bids that are given out after the formal recruitment period ends. General GPA cutoffs are anything below a 3.0, although it can go a little lower if you were extremely involved.

If all sororities are allowed to take 40 girls, but one house could only get 35, then they can offer invitations at the last minute to girls who already may have been cut. They may have really liked you but had to limit their invites on day three etc. so they had to cut you...not because they didn't like you, but because they are limited in how many they can invite...etc...if you get a snap bid...take it if you want to be a Greek!

Any high school athletic involvement, club membership, community work, leadership roles, jobs, basically anything to show that you didn't just waste time in high school.

Also the only people who care about tiers are freshman and sophomores. Once you're an upper classmen you'll meet enough people and realize that every chapter has some great people. Think ahead to your friends for the next 4 years. Not just who looks the hottest on bid day.

Do you think a lot of girls go into rush and just want to join the top housss, regardless of clicking? Or do you think most genuinely just list their favorites? Like.. are top houses "harder" to get into becaus people know they're more popular or do you think freshman are oblivious to that

What are snap bids and continuous open bids? What is a general range of the GPA cut offs/general cut off?
