getting dropped

Don't get hung up on "what if's" is my advice. Keep an open mind and really try to picture yourself as a part of each sisterhood.....regardless of reputation, appearances, etc. Are your conversations clicking? Do you like how you see the girls interacting with each other? Do you connect with their philanthropy and everything else they've told you? Don't pigeon hole yourself as "only being happy in one house"....every sorority on this campus is great and, really, they're all more similar than different....no matter what this site says.

I think it happens more than it should, and I wouldn't recommend it. I'm a senior and I've known so many girls each year who are so upset during rush about getting cut from certain houses, and even upset on bid day, who wind up loving the sorority after a week or two of pledging and actually getting to know everyone. I'm not in a bottom-tier house by any means. My house is considered upper middle tier, but during rush I didn't really love them and was disappointed when they were the only house I preffed. Even bid day I was apprehensive. After a week, it made sense why it was the sorority I ended up in as I got to know my pledge class, other girls in the sorority, and figured out the house dynamic when they're not putting on a show during rush. So give wherever you end up a chance and if it's not for you after a few weeks, then drop.
