do instagram followers matter?

by:    

I want to rush but I only have around 800 followers. Will this prevent me from getting bids?

If you think recruitment is conducted on instagram you are in for a rude awakening.

Would you want to join a so-called sisterhood that evaluates their potential members on something so superficial and fake? Or would you want to join a genuine one that prioritizes real-life accomplishments, personality, and good fit for their house?

You don’t need 800 followers or any pre-set number.

But it’s almost 2020 and the comments on here are so “Mom” and from another era!!!

Instagram IS much more current reality than the BS you’ll find here.

It’s not your Moms campus/social life anymore. So don’t be social media ignorant / in this day and age, it’s influential.

Sorry you’ve been blocked granny, bless your heart.

Nobody's saying that ig isn't influential, but it won't lift up a pnm to give her an advantage during recruitment. In fact, it is far more often the opposite. What you put on your ig can get you cut first round. Makes our job easier tbh.

In what universe in this day and age is an instagram not going to make an impact.

Agree, high profile and lots of followers may miss the mark in some houses prefer lower profile/quieter members.

But a good insta that matches well with the house vibe is certainly going to be noticed!

Get real.

Not saying it’s a must. But a good insta consistent with the house members will make a difference in any house. Particularly if you are unknown.

Old Row doesn’t want influencers, so having tens of thousands will actually hurt you. Look at MM in KKG. They gave her a bid and she was doing microwave pancakes in a mug IG posts. KKG is mortified. That’s the only Old Row influencer I’ve ever heard of. The rest go PBP and APhi and that one super weird AOPi one.

I genuinely don’t get it. It’s pancakes, not something obscene. Why is that embarrassing? I don’t have an opinion on MM either way, don’t know her, but why would shilling food be embarrassing when she’s tiny?

Honestly yes houses like Zeta and APhi look at your Instagram. Some of the girls in GPhi may but it won’t be the determining factor in you getting a bid or not. DZ will rush the crap out of anyone with lots of followers, look like at FA.

Name an influencer in Old Row other than MM. Go ahead... I’m waiting.

Old Row doesn’t want influencers. They want top grades, involvement and good family reps.

Old row doesn’t want influencers. I tend to agree.

They prefer women who stay in the background, concede to the men, and although they get good grades will stick to a “traditional” female niche and not appear too pushy.

That’s the OR brand!

So sorry, but the 2 main "influencers" in PBP seem SO ditzy and, bless their hearts, dense as bricks. Both seem very sweet, but I was shocked when I found out the younger one is in the honors college...then again, probably not saying much. That said, I can see why Old Row might want to keep all that at bay...

“Two influencers in PBP”, “the younger one”, “Found our she’s in honors college”......you must really be paying close attention to them.


Frankly that’s creepy. Either that or you really ARE interested in what they have to say!

I'm in a top sorority that supposedly bids on looks and I don't even have an Instagram acct. I am not into selfies, I'm not a legacy and I'm OOS. I love my sisters and no one has ever cared that being an insta model isn't my thing. I'm not the only one in my house either.

Most everything on here is made up

Damn there are a lot of down votes on here from people who haven't gone through rush themselves, much less as actual sorority members.
