sorority comments

All houses take sophomores. They just have fewer spots for them, so rush is slightly more competitive for sophomore girls. Also some houses require a higher GPA for sophomores.

I have many friends who went into rush having favorites and their favorites remained the same. In fact, five of my friends ended up in the houses they wanted before they even rushed. So the person below who thinks she has all the answers clearly doesn't. Everyone begins the journey from different vantage points. Some have connections, some don't. Some find it difficult because they have to choose. Some people go through rush seeing so many positives, they find it hard to cut houses. Others go through unable to find one that fits and vice versa.

All houses do not take sophomores. It depends on the numbers that year. Some years houses will accept a few and other years they can't take any. It is more competitive to rush as a sophomore but there are sophomores who do as well as successful freshman. There are sophomores who don't do very well, too. Recruitment is competitive, much like it will be when applying for a job. There are always going to be more applicants than positions available. This is an opportunity to practice poise, utilize networking skills, being prepared and applying your knowledge of the social rules that exist in society. I highly recommend it.

youre definitely not pledging a good/decent house at iu or go to iu in general.
Pledging a house at iu is about 20 weeks. Not even close to 8.

get out. honestly you clearly aren't in a frat if you think pledging is 8 weeks. "Typically" it is a semester pledgeship....and that really goes for the large majority of frats at iu so I have no idea where you even came from?

The best part of recruitment is the chants. And the slide shows.

Don't drop out mid-rush, whatever you do. There is cheesecake during 3 Party. You heard me, CHEESECAKE! So hang in there because even if you don't get a bid, the free food is still great. I'm not kidding.

will challenge you to a rap battle to determine your sororitytiness.

There is nothing more pathetic than an insecure girl who makes it her job to degrade houses at IU. I have been reading with interest over the past several months and have concluded it is someone from the Kappa house who has been doing this. I think she has been giving her house ones to make it appear like her house is important enough for conversation. She not only drags houses down that are near in the ranking, she also insults the more popular houses out of sheer jealousy. This is very discouraging for those of us contemplating recruitment.
