sorority recruitment
by: IVGenuine question, is it true that if you are an international student your chances of getting a bid are extremly low? I am thinking about applying but was told not to because in the last few years the number of international girls that got a bid was in the single digits and those who did get one were half American or live here.

2021 Spring PNMs.
Best, most accurate post of the year.
Each sorority's Recruitment Committee consists of it's most powerful alumni, a few Chapter officers and 1 or 2 active members. They review PNMs apps, recs and respond to mommies' calls & contribution$ to honor their "legacy daughter". This Recruitment Committee determines how many PNM Chapter legacies will be honored with a Spring bid, usually by November 1st. Often for the top 4 sororities, there are less than 10 openings remaining for non-legacies.
The first recruitment rounds are called "cattle calls". Most junior & seniors take Chapter fines instead of attending these. They do not want to make fake conversation with "non-legacy walking casualties".
Non-legacies have a "very legitimate beef" with panHELLenic for not disclosing their limited opportunity to join the top 4 sororities. The "legacy versus non-legacy" Recruitment results for the past few years should be disclosed to PNMs months in advance. Leading-on non-legacy PNMs about joining Greek Life in the top 4 sororities is "cruel and deceitful".

EXCELLENT ACCURATE POST
- worth repeating....
SMU Spring Recruitment is committed to honor legacies.
100% of SMU panHELLenic's executive board are legacies.
Sorority 1-3 PCs are packed with legacies. Over 90%.
Sorority 4-6 PCs are loaded with legacies. Over 85%.
The remaining 5-15% sorority 1-6 PC members are from Big Chapter contributors, Famous Families and Star Athletes. The remaining 3-5% are student leaders or proven academic scholars.
The Average Non-Legacy PNM will be corralled into sororities 7-8. Legacy lead panHELLenic and the university will use numerous pressure tactics. The WORST is the university tuition and housing full refund deadline BEFORE recruitment results are announced. Then the university 50% refund deadline kicks-in just days after the results are announced. Leaving the Newly Shocked GDI no time to pack and enroll in another university for the Spring semester. "Trapped" for an expensive $50 grand Spring semester. Just as Legacy lead panHELLenic and the university designed it.
Then...the COB illusion. Newly shocked GDIs are encouraged to participate in COB, where Sororities 7 & 8 are the ONLY remaining options available.
Only 360 PNMs accepting bids from sororities 1-6 will experience the legendary SMU Greek life experience. An additional 60 will accept bids from 7 & 8, leaving on average 300 newly shocked GDIs each Spring semester.
RELEASE the "Spring 2020 Legacy Disclosure Report" and for the past 3 years. Everyone is aware of Legacy lead panHELLenic's coverup attempts. You are NOT going to defraud the 2021 Spring PNMs with your PREDETERMINED LEGACY PC RECRUITMENT.
If this report is available in the Legacy lead panHELLenic Office, DISCLOSE the Spring 2020 results and for the past 3 years. SPILL the results on a GR Post. Most PNMs are too intimidated by Legacy lead panHELLenic to request this report. They are concerned they would be labeled as a trouble maker by Legacy lead panHELLenic.

Lol so what about all the sororities that are eliminating their legacy policies on a national level? Will you ever be satisfied?

-was told our small elite, entitled campus will always honor its' Greek legacies with bids. The university was built and is financially maintained by these legacies.
The so-called national policy is a joke.

It depends on the sorority. Some sororities might require approval from their national HQ to offer a bid to an international student, sometimes because insurance purposes...it may not have anything to do with you personally. You should still go through recruitment if you are interested, though :) good luck!

You should be completely fine! I know of international girls in each chapter and they confirmed that you don’t need to meet any special requirements apart from those expected of all pnm’s.
You also have to remember that every year only a small number of international students sign up and thats why there are only so few in the houses. Good luck!
