IT IS HORRIFYING. I know a girl who was cut after day 1. they will be sizing you up and will tear you apart emotionally. I know one house tries to make girls cry during a rush event just to size them up

oh hush. it is not that bad, stop scaring people. No, you are guaranteed a bid at the end of the week at a&m if you don't cut anyone on preference night. Youll be fine.

That's a bunch of baloney! Houses want girls to like them, just as much as girls going through rush want the sororities to like then. They would never try to make girls cry. And I have never heard of someone getting cut from all 12 houses after the first day. Never. It's pretty much if you rush, you will get in A HOUSE. Not all girls get their absolute first choice, because I have never met a girl who didn't get cut from a single house, but the one you end up in you love after bid day, because he girls who chose you love you and are excited to have you

IF you have recs for every house but don't really KNOW any of the girls in any of the houses and you aren't a legacy, then this will help u.

Expect to be cut by KKG, DDD, PIPHI if you don't have a close, personal friend who is already in one of those houses. Legacies sometimes help, but recs will not help.

You will be cut by THETA and CHIO if you aren't a legacy again recs aren't helpful for these houses.

Realistically, any girl with good recs can get into these houses:
ACHIO, ADPI, DG, DZ, GPHI, KD, ZTA.

Very true ^^ Tri Delt and Kappa all know who they want before rush anyways. If you don't have a friend or are very connected, then I wouldn't bother.

You can get into any house without connections. People who say differently are just butt hurt they didn't get a bid.

I came in with zero recs, knew one person in tri delt who was my fish camp counselor, and I only got cut from Chi-O, because I had this weird convo with a girl who was pushing her church Grace Bible down my throat in our opening convo, and I told her I will make my own decision about church. Anyway, you don't need rec letters to have a good rush.

It's so sooo scary! Prepare yourself for the most horrifying terrifying thing ever. It's a blood bath and survival of the fittest competition between all girls (comparable to hunger games). There will be blood, sweat and tears. You will go to every sorority house and a girl will talk to you and you leave. Wow how horrendous. Only the lucky ones will make it to bid day. You have been warned

Are you on crack? Chill out, recruitment is not that stressful. Just be normal and you will be fine.

I went through recruitment last fall and it's both physically and emotionally draining. Be prepared to be cut from the houses you absolutely loved. Also, be prepared to get called back to the houses you know (or you think you know) aren't for you. You will have conversations with actives that seem completely genuine and then the next day they won't be on your party list. Many girls drop because it's just too much for them and they have their eyes set on a particular house. The biggest tip I have is to just keep your head high and have an open mind. Almost no girl will get the number one house they want so just continue with the process and you'll find your home.

I actually had the opposite experience than active. I enjoyed recruitment so much because I had such a laid back attitude about the process. You get to talk to so many girls and just be fun and carefree. Seriously don't stress, recruitment is a breeze. I got my top choice and you can too! And wherever you end up, the sorority wants you so badly, so enjoy the experience and definitely accept a bid to any of the 12 amazing houses we have on campus!!

You have a less than 10% chance of getting THE ONE house you set your closed mind on. So it just confuses me as to why girls get so upset when the one house they've already picked drops them. Your chances are pretty low statistically speaking. I agree it is physically draining because it's just so darn hot outside, but yea, laid back attitude is the way to go, otherwise you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

I would go through the recruitment process one thousand times before I ever chose to be on the inside of the house again. The PNM's have it easy! Think of recruitment as the one time in your life that you will meet over 100 people in one week that all actually care what you have to say!! The process stinks in some ways, but overall if you just act yourself and listen to your gut, it will work out and you will be happy!

If you listen to your rho gammas during the week and don't cut anyone on preference night, you're guaranteed a bid! Not being mean, but if you just show up and aren't really weird you will get invited back to Gamma Phi, DZ and ADPi because they don't always make their numbers! Rush is great, youll be fine!
