Rush experience doesn't match the ranks
by: confusedI don't know what to do. I only got 5 houses back for sisterhood. One is a top house and the other four are bottom houses. I had the top house and one bottom house today and I didn't like the top house at all. I know it's the best option. But I already like the second house that's supposedly a low house that I saw today better. Should I still try to hold out for that top house even if I don't like it as much right now?

All the chapters go to frats, have date parties/formals, and events. The girls you meet and connect with the best should be where you go. Unless partying at the top frats is all you care about, which is something you should rlly reflect abt if it is the case, the houses with a genuine connection should be obvious choice to keep

I was in the same position u were at sisterhood.I had a top house and a lower house I really liked. Looking back,my conversations were forced in the top house and I didn’t really like the way I felt there.I felt like I wasn’t myself.I did rank the top house first bc I felt pressure due to ranks but luckily they dropped me and i went to my favorite lower house for pref.I loved it and felt so welcome there.i was so happy when I opened my bid.i am so happy the top house dropped me bc I would have hated it there

Truth from a senior, every year I have heard a girl or two say that they regret joining a top house when they actually really liked a lower one better. But I have NEVER heard any girl say they regret joining their bottom house instead of a higher option they had.
Rush really is the time to trust your gut.

that's because nobody would ever a bottom house over a top house if they had the choice..

Trust your instincts and don’t get hung up on rankings. If you connect with the girls in one/two houses, then focus on those. Stop listening to your friends. They are giving you very bad advice.

Your friends are hoping you keep that top house so they can use you for plans. Those are not good friends. You'll be unhappy if you don't follow your gut.

Middle tier and bottom houses tend to have better sisterhood. They care about building relationships not how other perceive them. They r less superficial and more real. Go w ur gut

go with where you feel most connected. realistically as a girl you can get in anywhere you want. as someone in a lower mid house I have been to EVERY frat at least once and consistently go to frats I don’t “pair” with. that’s all the ranking is which frats you go to… not which house has the nicest/best girls. go with your gut you’ll thank yourself

Every house will have weirdos! Top houses have a fair share of them. There are weirdos in the world so you will find them in every house!!!!

Here’s a thought: Why not consider letting go of the “top” “middle” and “bottom” house idea? Is everyone here so desperate to be in what they consider a “top” house that they’d rather be miserable than be with people you actually seem to vibe with? My friends and I are in houses that are in all these so-called levels. Guess what? No one cares when you’re a decent person. And guess what else? When you leave IU nobody cares which letters you wore. Why not go where you feel most comfortable? Do you think you’re a “bottom level” person? Probably not. And most likely you aren’t. And the house you like isn’t either. It’s these stupid ideas everyone is clinging to that perpetuates these shallow ideas.
