easiest sorority to get a bid from?
by: LalaI don’t want to set myself up for a letdown, so I want to be realistic during recruitment. I’m average grades, average looks and not a legacy. Which houses should I focus on?

I Think the answer you are looking for is the younger houses on campus do not have multiple generations of legacies you are competing with for a spot, where even being a legacy may not get you past day 1.
Each sorority has minimum academic requirements and since it is so competitive to get a bid, you need to be way above the minimum.
Looks is not as important, all you have to do is look at the 1000's of bid day pictures that are posted by newspapers and chapter social media to see there are many average looking girls.
Finally, can you afford it? Parents are told how much it will cost to be in a sorority with some houses more expensive then others. If you going to be struggling by with student loans, grants and part-time jobs that might be a red flag for you.

This is from a post made several years ago. I have made a few changes near the bottom.
Rush is a funnel process; mutual selection means that the most desired houses, typically Old Row + Pi Phi, ADPi and Zeta, make the heavy cuts in the beginning. These houses will release over 1000 pnms the first round and know for the most part who these people are before rush week starts. Basically, those houses tend to do the best at the end of the week and get what they are looking for, where as the others want to make quota.
Level 1:
KD- connections, family reputation, exclusivity
Kappa- connections, family reputation, party people
DDD- connections, family reputations, well-rounded and involved
XO- connections, family reputations, well-rounded, earthy
AXO- connections, attractiveness, grades, involvement
PM- connections, attractiveness, grades, involvement
AGD- connections, well-rounded, involved
Pi Phi- attractiveness, cool-factor, party people
ADPi- grades, involvement
Zeta- attractiveness, party people, would boys like you
--------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------
Level 2:
DG, DZ, AOPi, Gamma Phi -whoever is decent and still available after level 1 funnel
--------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------
Level 3:
Theta, Alpha Phi, Sigma Kappa- making quota

^^^^ See what GR is filled with...at least this mama didn't pretend she still goes here. This is outdated bs that confuses PNMs. Here is the truth: Bama has been academically focused for several years. Everyone immediately reads grade reports to compare houses. Your grades are important because all houses are compared on this very concrete measurement every semester. Low grade houses are looked down upon and are scrambling to bring in high gpa members. Grade reports also reveal changes in membership numbers. Anyone, including smart PNMs, can determine which houses have drama/issues when a ton of members drop, or houses continually have to bring in new members, revealing which supposedly mid-ranked houses loose members faster than the supposedly bottom GR ranked houses. With more OOS than instate students, attitudes about OOS and connections have changed. OR lost too many great women who did not like being in houses where everyone went to high school together or being called filler girls. So that has quickly changed and OR goes after OOS just as hard as NR. Do your homework on what houses are really like... not how GR says they rank.

ADPi is not like those others. GPhi is a slightly harder get, too.
