Out state rushing
by: OUHi, I’m an out of state student going to OU in the fall and I don’t have any direct family who has been in sororities, other than a cousin. I’m am planning on getting recs but don’t know if I’ll have one for every house. Do you think this will make it less likely for me to get a bid?

It’s difficult to get a bid to one of the top houses if you’re out of state and don’t have any connections. That doesn’t mean you won’t get a bid anywhere though!
I would get recs for as many as you can, especially if you have an impressive resume. It won’t guarantee you a bid but if you don’t have any connections, a great rec can make the difference between getting an invite to round two or not.

Definitely! A lot of girls go into it only wanting top 5. If you’re open to other houses and excited about the chance to get to know them I think you’ll still have a good rush.

Also, if you really love a house/see yourself there/want to be there on Bid Day, TELL them! I was kind of surprised to be cut by a mid house I really liked and the advisor told my mom it was because they knew my sister was in a top house there and they didn’t want to waste a spot on me bc they assumed I’d want to go to my sister’s. Different situation but I think it’s definitely important to make sure they know if you really loved them.

My roommate was from out of state and ended in a top house that she knew no one in! Don’t stress just be yourself

Thank you. What about bids to mid-tier houses? I’m not necessarily concerned with the top 5. Any chance at a bid with a mid house?
