sorority comments

As a sophomore would it be better to try rushing again or trying to join the new colonizing chapter? Thoughts?

You can go on ASA 's natl website and get info, speak with someone, and then make your decision. Just depends on what your looking for. ASA will not be housed, but that works for a lot of people, and founding members have a unique sisterhood. Going through Recruitment as a soph and receiving a bid is tough, but not impossible- just depends on the numbers.

I think it's worth going through recruitment again. Worst comes to worst I'm sure that getting a bid to one of the unhoused chapters won't be any more difficult than joining ASA's colony. (I'm not trying to be catty toward TPA/ASA, it's just a fact). It really depends though on how much being a founding member of ASA means to you. If you really are keen on this opportunity, then go for it. But if you want to give recruitment another shot and see if you end up somewhere else, then there's nothing wrong with that either. Just remember to keep an open mind. There's a big difference between seeing recruitment all the way through the process and not getting a bid versus dropping out during recruitment because you didn't get the houses you wanted back.

Advice. Get the info on ASA, but definitely go through recruitment again. If it doesn't work out for you, and you are still interested in being a founding member, pursue it then. Good Luck!

Not quite. Gphi should come after DZ

8 should include AGD and TPA should be on its own.

Why put in all this effort to ranking...just join a house where you like the girls, you know you'll make friends, and you want to live there. Simple. After graduation, no one in the real world is going to care whether your house was a "top house" or a loser house at IU. What really matters is whether you will actually make friends there and keep in touch after you leave college.
