ASA

Short answer: ASA Long answer: what makes IU’s recruitment process so competitive is that every single chapter but one has housing and every single chapter has either a one or two year live in requirement which keeps our pledge classes around 55 despite the fact that we are a huge school and a little less than ~2,000 girls usually sign up for rush. If you’re a freshman or not interested in informal then SK is also going to be unhoused starting next year (fall 2019-) so they are another unhoused option though they likely won’t be advertising themselves that way

I know that Theta and SK don't have a live in requirement although I know girls in those chapters and it's still pretty much a must if you want to make friends.

ASA is a great option if you want to go unhoused. They will definitely not always be the only unhoused chapter as SK will likely not have a house after this year.

Why the down votes? Not because you were informative , but because of the information. IU recruitment needs serious reform. When you have over 2000 girls wanting to be in in Greek life and they cut half that is ridiculous! I get it, not everyone is cut out for certain cutthroat mean degrading top houses. But they shouldn’t cut 50-60%! Do what Other large schools do, take more and allow more upperclassmen to live out. It’s a win win! Chapter gets more money and more girls get opportunities to be a part of an organization that promotes charity, friendship, etc. And while your at it change recruitment to the fall. Winter recruicruitment walking a mile in dress clothes in below zero weather, standing outside for an hour is straight up hazing!

Ok
A. When you walk to class you walk fast and maybe are out in the cold for 15 minutes. During recruitment you are told to be at the house an hour before the time and you wait outside. Last year they made minor improvements and did add the busses but some groups were still told they had to walk only. The previous year no busses and not allowed inside any house until the set time in a snowstorm with windchills below zero for an hour = hazing, but stay in denial and say it wasn’t. Keep making those improvements tho. Nobody should be in below zero windchill for more than 10-15 minutes, they are at risk for frostbite.

B. Yes, every house has a slightly different set of values and mission statement, and philanthropies they support. But hey guess what, even if you place 100% of the pnms it doesn’t mean you got it right placing them into a house with the best match for them as you say you do. So of course when you force feed certain girls with opposite values into a house they are going to drop. Get over yourselves in always blaming the pnms. Rush committees ges are just as much to blame. The underground clicks who hang up on girls to degrade and make fun of girls to ensure their picks go thru are to blame. Y’all are missing out on some amazing high quality women that would be perfect fits for your house, but you let clicks of loud mouth mean girls talk everyone out of these girls. Then you try to place them in a sorority that they have nothing in common with. Yes. Change needs to happen. Girls arnt getting cut because u think they will drop so get over the bs lies you keep putting out here.

C. There is nothing wrong with being in a sorority and there is nothing wrong with being a GEED. One isn’t better than the other. Both options at IU have pros and cons. Maybe if y’all stopped bashing women every chance you have feeling the need to destroy others to feel better about yourself, and instead start lifting women up IU would be a more respected pace and 11,000 people a year wouldn’t be needing to visit CAPS.

Lol I don’t know of one house that is “super close knit”. Houses have super clicky close knit separate groups within the house that would be a more accurate statement. Sorority life has lost its original purpose of true sisterhood with likeminded women sharing true friendship and commonalities. It has sadly become overly superficial which overshadows the Philanthropy and community it claims it supports. The non Panhellenic organizations are closer with tight knit groups of people coming together sharing common interests and fit the description of what original sisterhood and brotherhoods were meant to be. I am not bashing just feel like it’s time to get back to some of the original ideals and foundations. I believe in progress but not all progress is healthy for an organization if it strays too far from what made it successful and revered in the first place

Damn girls really are crazy lmao
