out of state disadvantage
by: soontobepnmHi Im going to be rushing in the fall, but I'm not from wisconsin or anywhere in the midwest region... is that going to put me at a disadvantage when trying to get a bid? i come from georgia, and i don't know any girls in any of the sororities. and plz don't tell me "ohhh be yourself they care about your personality" bc i know that a lot more goes into it than that. thank youu

Unfortunately, yes. Many houses lean toward midwestern only, and the ones who lean coastie tend to prefer LA/NY/NJ/DC/FL. Being from Georgia and not knowing any girls in the upper tier Midwestern frats recruitment will be an interesting process, but don't be discouraged! Just put your best self out there!

Any women going thru recruitment need to decide how they are individually capable of performing for the positive good of their chosen sororities. Scholarship, leadership, service and sisterhood are required membership traits. Your brand of personality will either mesh or not with other students in our sorority homes.
We can't tell you if you will get a bid. We do not know you. Women in our sororities will have to meet you, and you them, for any of your sorority dreams to come to fruition.
All NPC sororities have private membership requirements which vary and shall remain unspoken here. As much as you do not want to hear it do your own personal best during recruitment, and if it is to be you will be bid.

I don't think disadvantage is the right word here at all. The Greek life system at Wisconsin seems to work pretty well by dividing up regional personality types if that makes sense. I know in state girls who seem like they're from OOS, and vice versa. It doesn't matter where you are from per say, I would say it matters more in what way you act/your personality. A lot of times that corresponds with where you're from, but I wouldn't say any house would really dismiss you at first glance because of where you're from.

Just be yourself, trust the process and don't get your heart "set" on just one or even a few sororities. Luckily, all of the sororities here are pretty good and even if you get into one that you didn't have at the top of your list, you will end up meeting girls that you will really like and be friends with for a lifetime.

Thank u for replying!! Will they see where I am from and automatically decide they dont want me, or will I just have to be an extra "impressive" pnm compared to a midwesterner?
