nervous for rush

by: newbruin

new freshman here, first in my family to go to college let alone consider greek life. i am thinkomg abt rushing fraternities this fall and was wondering what to expect from the digital recruitment. how much of fraternity recruitment it’s based off of race/looks/follower count? how hard is it to actually get into the “top” houses? does it rly matter how your fraternity is “ranked”? thank you for any answers+ advice!

You’re rude af. There’s a house for basically every guy at ucla. Honestly, the top houses are way overrated. The guys here at ucla are the ones in hs that were the nerds and super awkward but may have had a spec of potential. The ones that get into top houses are the ones that sort run with that spec but if you compare our top frats to say sdsu guys or ucsb, there’s no comparison. Ours are complete dorks. I say go for it

You 'sorry' are part of the problem. Take it from me, I'm in DG. Yeah! I'm female.

'newbruin' RUSH. I have a feeling 'sorry' is in a terrible fraternity anyways so you wouldn't want to join that one.

To some extent sure those things matter, but the biggest thing is that you're not socially awkward. Top houses for frats just means they tend to have events with top sororities. Other than that, they aren't better, just different. It's not like being in a top house will give you any extraordinary benefits.

Honestly it's probably very variable in terms of selectiveness. The pandemic isn't very Greek Life friendly. Some houses might be trying to wait it out, while others might take the approach of being more open to maintain numbers.

Think about what makes you a person of value, think about what type of experiences you want in college, try to get an idea of the general makeup of different houses that you feel you could fit well with, and then rush those houses.

I hate to piss everyone off but this guy has no potential whatsoever. Not even a "spec" (SIC)
