by: PNM

Did anyone join a sorority based on rank and regret it? Please tell me your story. You don't have to name the sorority but just say your experience

Yes, well almost. At pref I had a supposed top house and s supposed bottom house. I ranked the supposed top house as my number one because I believed the hype even though my inner voice kept telling me I felt more comfortable in the other house. I ended up with my second choice on bid day, and now a year later I can tell you it was the best thing that ever happened to me! Nothing wrong at all with the house I didn't get a bid at, but once I saw the reality of both houses outside of recruitment, rankings etc., I realize I didn't belong there. I am SO HAPPY in my house, I can't even explain how lucky I feel to have gotten my second choice. Go with your gut, PNMs!

when active members come on here and say to go with your gut, we really mean it. some people do join based on rank, but they often arent the happiest. we want you to find your HOME. somewhere that you feel comfortable and welcomed and share values with, and that may not be a top ranked house. in all honesty we dont have that many chapters here so ranking iis weird to begin with. each chapter on campus is great in their own way. find one that your heart falls in love with, not the one that you think will gain you popularity because in the end it wont matter. go through recruitment to find your new home full of sisters who will become lifelong friends.

You will find that the people joining when you do (i.e., your new member or pledge class) will be the members with whom you will be the closest. So, in addition to active's great advice, as your sorority choices become more narrow during rush week, evaluate the other potential new members of each sorority you are considering. Which group of potential new members could become your best friends over the next four years? Sometimes, the best choices can be the easiest.
