for girls looking at this site for rush purposes
by: Greek Affiliated
Hey girls, I know this is a stressful topic so I wanted to ease your minds if you're on this site freaking out about rush. Here are some things to keep in mind that I wish I had known last year:
1) Don't starve yourselves this summer, while rush is superficial yes, don't acquire an eating disorder just to please people. I have many friends struggling from it currently and its not worth risking your health. All shapes and sizes are in EVERY house. what makes a house beautiful and fun is diversity.
2) There are no bad houses. PLEASE choose a house based on who you know you can see yourself going out and having a good time with. If you choose a house based on rank alone it's possible you'll end up without a strong bond with the rest of your pledge class and then you'll just be unhappy. If its happens to be a "top tier" great! and if it's not thats also great!
3) No matter what house you're in-employers don't care-i have even been told explicitly to not put it on my resume. So keep in mind that if you're not in a top house NOBODY is going to care in 4 years. also keep in mind that if you ARE in a top house nobody will care in 4 years.
4) People in other houses are friends. If you are lucky enough to come to school with some of your highschool friends but end up in different houses, you will most likely stay friends. Panhellenic support is important because it creates a stronger and more prestigious greek community overall which will help in the long run.

PS, if it means anything - im in one of the top 3 houses (i won't say which one) and I am miserable. I should have picked another one, but I went with which one seemed most popular at the time. Don't do this. Follow your heart. Think of whom you want to be friends with in 50 years. Think of whom you would trust with your life.
I love some of the girls in my house, but I haven't made a true, deep connection with anyone. I went with the best house I could get into based on my looks, rather than the best house for my personality. Again, do not do this. It will never matter in 50, 60, 70 years.

1) Wrong! Unless you want give up your first and second choice
2) Wrong! There are more bad houses than good ones. No one should have to settle
3) This is true but your future husband and his friends will care
4) This is true if your HS friend ends up in a => than yours. Don't continue friendships with girls in lesser houses. Not your fault they settled

It won't matter in 5,6 or 7 years, let alone 50, 60 or 70. So, good advice @ "this." As OP said, it won't matter in 4 years (employers don't care what tier your house was, or if you were even in one, unless, you were, say, President and showed great leadership abilities) much less decades in the future. My mom still gets together with her sorority sisters 30+ years later, so you are right, "this" at making the right connection. Good post!
