PNMs cutting top tier

This is so true! And so strategic/confusing but it really helped a lot of my friends going through rush. Pretty much if you’re far from out of state, not a legacy, and have not that great of connections, you will get cut. Regardless of how much you liked the house. When you vote eliminate XO, KD, or DDD if this seems to be you. It will give you more options for other good houses that are also high up just not as into the southern royalty thing.

I did this last year and it was really hard listing them lower especially when people in my group were so excited about them and they were all very nice during first round.

I felt more in control and even got one of the houses back and kept them all the way through. I ended up putting them second to my current house but have lots of friends in that house.

They always say trust the process but that does not mean be a bystander in your own recruitment. Actively make your own choices and you will be happy in the end.

KD - even though phimu has the pageant girls. KD will act like pageant girls. 100% fake. They goal isn't to get you, their goal is to have you think they are #1. That's literally their goal: hey ya'll we don't want these non legacies, but MAKE SURE they walk out of here thinking we are #1.

XO - genuinely nice girls that will try to bff you, and they aren't fake. unfortunately they have no say so in who gets in and mommy class of '88 has turned in their member's list during spring break.

DDD - rude, they don't care. They know who is coming in and if you aren't one, they aren't even going to bother.
