problem
by: shootFirst off, I'll start by stating that I'm from the south, was homecoming queen and consider myself a fairly attractive girl. I graduated with a gpa above 3.6 so I'm not worried about that. What I AM worried about is the fact that a lot of girls in top tier sororities have been contacting me (I do know some of them from before they went to college), but I really would rather be in DG because I just think it would be a better fit and I have friends at other schools who are DG so it would be cool to be sisters with them. If the top tier girls are showing interest in me, should I be worried that DG will assume I'm not interested in them? I'm afraid I'll be dropped because of this. Sorry if it's a lot of info but I just want to make sure.

Just because you have friends in DG from other schools doesn't necessarily mean you will like DG here.. All campuses are different. Go into recruitment with an open mind for all the houses and you'll end up where you need to be and where you feel most at home.
As for the top tier, other sororities won't drop you based on them contacting you. If you were a legacy to one of the top tier houses some would assume you wanted one of them and wouldn't want to waste their time and a slot for another PNM to pursue you.

I'm betting big money you are the same DG who has been blowing up this site with stories about how wonderful DG is.
My advice to any pnm who has their sights set on DG, go ahead and let the top tiers know you would rather have DG. I'm sure they will be happy to take you off their lists.

You know, I'll let you in on a little secret: pnm's have no say so in recruitment until pref. if you are as well known as you say you are, then we already know who you are, which sorority you are favoring, who you hang out with, and which sororities you friends are favoring. We have already done our homework. We might be only nice to you because we want to bid your best friend and we don't want you to influence her into favoring another sorority. We might have no intention of giving you a bid at all, we might only want your friends. Hard to tell why we are being nice to you. We all have friends in other sororities. We have already claimed certain girls. At this point it is downright stupid to put all your eggs in one basket.
Each sorority has around 400 active members. By knowing only a few girls in each, you have no idea how you would fit in each. A smarter girl would trust in the system, sit back and enjoy rush and be happy on bid day wherever she lands.
Sounds like girls in various sororities want to get to know you better and be your friend. Seems like you want to throw away these gifts of friendship. Tbh I hope you don't end up in my sorority.

You will hear the same comments over and over for a reason: you never know how recruitment is going to go. Be open-minded, get recs/letters for each house, respect each group and what membership offers throughout each round. Don't insult other groups be stating where you want to be and don't pre-determine where you should be. It is annoying!

Ok everyone: I didn't know I was "offending" the top tier houses by posting this. I am really sorry if it did offend anyone. I literally do not care about tier so I was worried that interest from top tier houses would affect my chances at another house. It freaks me out when top tier girls talk about how they investigate all the girls and know everything about me for the sake of being top tier. I'd rather just end up somewhere where people like me for me rather than what I look like or my upbringing, ya know?

I also said I thought it would be a better fit. I met some of the DG girls and really felt like I connected with them the most.
