good convos/bad convos

Realistically speaking, PNMs: please remember the houses are selecting you. Each house sets goals for the year i.e. "We want to focus on academics" or "we want to improve sisterhood" etc. They then look for these qualities in building their pledge class. So, if you happened to be paired with someone at a party and you felt like there was a "meh" connection, it is very likely because they didn't pair you with a top recuriter. The girls they are wanting to recruit, get the top rushers. Plain and simple. The ones the house is interested in, are paired with someone with the same major, same personality style, from a similar home town etc....if that didn't happen for you and you didn't have a great convo, it is prob because they were giving you a courtesty party. You were very likely not going to be invited back the next day anyway--not because you are not a great girl, but because you are not they type they are looking for in this pledge class. And, for you to say "I dropped them" is naive. You were likely not on their invite list anyway. I say this to make a point--that recuritment is selective, especially at Mizzou. Be happy with who is on your invite lists today. That means you are what they are looking for. I honestly can say that being Greek at Mizzou in any of our amazing houses is better than not being Greek. With the exception of maybe one house, I think I could have found a sisterhood in any one of our amazing houses here. But, the one I am a member of WANTED me. I was the fortunate one to receive a bid. That is all.

While I agree with most of ^ this, I find myself wondering how someone who is in a sorority can say without question that "Being Greek is better than not being Greek," since they have only experienced Greek life. Isn't that like a GDI saying "Being independent is better than being Greek," I mean, how do they know. And this is a good time to remind people that if rush didn't work out for you, you can still make wonderful and lifelong friends at Mizzou. Often it starts in the dorm and you go one to live with the same group of people for the next three years. I am in a sorority and I am thrilled with my choice, but it's NOT the only way to experience college. My sister was not in a sorority and she has the most amazing group of friends. When they graduated, in fact, several of them decided to move to a new city, live together and start their careers there. They couldn't be happier. So not being Greek isn't the end of the world. If you were cut from your favorite houses and decide to quit rush, your college experience will be different, but not necessarily worse, than if you had joined a house. It's just one of many adjustments you will make concerning your expectations in the next four years.

Just remember that not all sororities treat their members well and you can be better off not being in a sorority. There are certain sororities that base everything off looks and nothing else. Great reason to be in that sisterhood, right??? Sad, but true!
