what i wish i knew during rush week
by: Heads up
First of all, rankings are dumb.
All of the houses are extremely involved, some (if not all) will require you to join certain things as I learned through my friendships in Tut my freshman year after bid day. Your involvement is really up to you. Many houses (again, if not all) will require you to be involved in at least one thing outside of your sorority and WILL check.
All of the houses have a social calendar. No matter where you end up on the row, you will have swaps and you will have date parties. (Heads up - I always thought fraternity date parties were way more fun anyway and didn’t really enjoy swaps even with old row or other popular fraternities. Freshman boys are wack.)
The only real area where the houses are different is GPA and that is up to you. You’ll have study hours, you’ll have personal time to study. You will have access to tutors and “test banks” to study from. Your GPA isn’t going to be based on your letters, but on the choices you make this year.
Every house has girls that prioritize studying, and girls that prioritize partying. There are girls in every house that prioritize their physical appearance and girls that prioritize philanthropy/involvement. You will find your friends no matter which house you end up in, and sometimes they won’t even be in your house!
I promise you over the course of this year you’ll learn that the people who care what letters you wear are not the people you want to spend time with. Sure you may have your sights set on a certain house and you may wonder how your year would’ve gone if you’d ended up there. But all that matters is that you are happy with the people you’ve chosen to surround yourself with, Greek or not.
Your year is what you make of it, don’t let some letters determine your happiness. Take a deep breath and enjoy the rest of your rush. Remember on bid day that these are the girls that picked YOU to run to their lawn and wear their letters. Don’t worry about who didn’t.

First of all, it's clear the OP doesn't even go to Mizzou. Second, I am SO SICK of people insisting that you can't be smart AND enjoy partying, or that you can't care about your looks AND philanthropy. This post sounds like it's from the '50s or something when women were one-dimensional. In my sorority, you have to have it all, or dam near close.
