sorority recruitment 2018

by: PNM'18

I'll be participating in recruitment this fall. I'm a legacy going in with a completely open mind. I understand that one "will know" as you participate in rounds and begin to talk to the girls which houses are "your people" and which are not. Would some of you be willing to share your experience? What were some of the specific experiences or situations (without sorority names) that guided you in finding your peeps?

So not going to lie after recruitment you kind of block out the experience. So i really did not like recruitment itself, but i love where i am. There were a few houses i was very intimidated by. The girls and atmosphere just kind of felt different for me and i didn’t really know why, but i could tell i wasn’t meant to go there. The house i ended up at was one of the ones lower on my list for first round, but i am so thankful i am there. My biggest advice would be to keep an open mind when you continue at a house you don’t necessarily like to begin with. There were two i kept going to and just knew it wasn’t for me, but the place i ended up at i liked a lot more after each round and am so thankful i kept going and kept an open mind there.

Finding your home in a chapter is similar to finding a home in a university/college (however it is a lot more emotionally taxing). But think about how you chose TCU. Some of it is cost, some of it is that you had a gut feeling and loved it, and they accepted you. These are all reasons you will know when you've found your home. Each chapter has different costs, different values and philanthropies, different reputations, and different women. You'll feel at home somewhere and know you love it.
It's also important to remember that you may not get a bid from your dream chapter, the same way you may not get into your dream school. But you will end up somewhere great with wonderful women!

My best suggestion is that you keep an open mind throughout recruitment. Don't let preconceived ideas from greek rank or tent talk make you drop a house you feel a connection to. If it's top ranked on here fine. If it's the lowest on here also fine. In the end, what matters is how you feel about the girls you meet. Some of the house that people on here are mean about is because they're doing really well and the alumns of other houses are worried that they won't make quota if XYZ does well this year. So don't listen to crap.

@suggestion If XYZ does well it doesn't affect another house making quota. XYZ can only take quota. Every house can only take quota. And then there's RFM considerations as well. Get your facts straight.
