informal & houses

Phi Mu and Sigma are the only ones that will COB. SK and KD are already at average chapter size.

There were other houses besides Phi Mu and Sigma who took new members via COB last year.

Every house has done so in the past, those that say they haven't aren't being truthful.

Nationals have something to say about whether a house can COB. I know our national doesn't allow it, nor do Theta's ADPi's and Kappa's. So not every house does it.

I am a COB Adpi. Now sure where you are getting that information.

And I'm the Queen of England. Now stop lying^.

Alpha phi, tri sigma, KD and phi mu cobbed last year.

Dg and AXO did not cob last year. Both houses were over chapter total so that would be impossible for them to hand out any more bids. Sometimes they do cob though and it just depends on the year. According to Panhellenic the only houses who cobbed were sigma, phi mu, KD and alpha phi. These houses probably will cob again this year because they have lower retention rates but that doesn't mean they aren't great houses! KD and phi mu are on the rise and accepting a cob bid from them would be an excellent option:)

AXO did COB in the fall just not the spring.

If a house cut you once there's not much of a chance they will be interested the second time around. Your best chance was rush your freshman year. Sorry you were too picky, but I think you just screwed yourself out of Greek life.

That is not true at all. There are a ton of girls that go through recruitment and end up dropping and then cob and get a house that dropped them at some point. There are very few girls who skip formal and just go to informal recruitment.

And aphi has a lot of out of state girls from the north (or maybe south?) suburbs of chicaga that went to the same high school so if you know any of them you might want to check that as an option(unless you want to avoid the cliqueness, wasn't clear on your post)

This is college, why in the world would you want to be in a sorority with a bunch of people you went to high school with. Time to grow up and be your own person unless you are that insecure that you can't function on your own. And if that's the case shoulda stayed home with mommy and daddy rather than make college a continuation of high school.

Have to agree with why? You are going away to college, time to let go of the security of your hometown and spread your wings and fly.
IF that is true that aphi takes their friends from high school they are dumber and more pathetic than people already think. The demise of tridelt was taking too many st Louis girls that everyone knew and zeta still can't lose that 'mean girl' image they got when they started taking all the girls from the same highschools. Assuming this is true now of aphi, their antics on these boards the past few months put them on the same path as two other houses that fell(and they had grades and looks at the time they started falling). C'mon aph,we know you are patrolling these boards 24/7, are you really now imitating zeta and tri delt?

I don't know even ONE GIRL who was cut by a house during formal rush who got into that house later.

I know one

Then please explain how a girl goes through recruitmet, doesn't get cut by a house but ends up dropping..and then going through informal and ends up in a house that didn't cut her? Doesn't even make sense..is someone trying to bury a post?

I think you^ need to get a life

Interesting..just heard this was a wrap up convo but anyways...

Just curious. I was at aphi and liked them along with about 5 other houses, could see my self there. Being an out of state person 2 of the girls asked me several times exacly where my high school was. I thought they were referring to southern suburbs, and yes my school was out that way. but the one girl on my floor that got a bid said they only take out of state girls from the north side, so I was totally confused. they cut me early which was ok-LOVE my house and couldn't be happier. Just got a really weird vibe and wasn't sure if they wanted me or didn't, liked my area of Chicago or not. so I'm curious if they have a lot of state people, where are they from?

I just love when trolls get on here and say "we take a lot of out of state girls". Won't they don't tell PNM's is that thought the girls may be out of states , they are all from the same high schools as their current members!!! Way to grow up in college, still needing those same high school friends? Who want's to be in a house like that? Y'all need to grow a pair!
