piercing
by: don't wanna be judgedI'm getting a nose piercing (a stud) and I'm wondering if it'll give the houses a bad impression during rush? Is it frowned down upon to have a nose piercing when rushing?

I would say go for it. All the top sororities love girls who can't get enough attention for all the wrong reasons. Nothing says "I have no self esteem and nothing to offer of substance" like self-mutilation. They especially love girls who are able to collect snot on a metal fastener when they blow their nose and will be eager to see you stick your finger far up your nose when you change your stud.

I don't know. I think the first answer was legit. A nose piercing is something most people regret. Statistics show 82% of women who get their noses pierced let the hole close up within 12 months. I, for one, can't figure out why someone would call attention to themselves for all the wrong reasons. Let your good looks, your grades, your activities or your honors speak for you. Not some snot collecting form of self mutilation.

One of the people who went through rush last year with a nose ring provided all sorts of fun for us. A little comic relief. You see, she was an otherwise pretty girl with adequate grades and activities, but the hugest nose. A real honker. The piercing pretty much drew attention to her worst feature. Bad judgment, to say the least. But we laughed and laughed. And then cut her.

Hey there friend. There is nothing wrong with getting tattoos or nose piercings. I have two beautiful tattoos and I am in what most consider a top house. But, during recruitment, sadly, how you look does matter. In all honesty it's hard to really get to know a girl in the 10 minutes they're inside your house so how you hold yourself and present yourself physically is a big contribution. Do what you want, but also consider if you can possibly remove it or cover it during recruitment. :)

So your advice is to hide who she is? Really? If you have it, flaunt it. But be prepared to have very few choices on the last day, if you make it that far.

Wtf you all are petty af. I know plenty of girls who have small stud nose rings that are cute and hardly noticeable. I know girls who have a small hoop and pull it off. What kind of message are we sending here "oh we're open and accepting to everyone.....but not if you have a nose ring! Get out of here!" If you personally don't like them, that's up to you but don't be a b.i.t.c.h about it

No they don't. If you want to leave yourself available to every sorority, then dont go through recruitment with a pierced nose or ANY tattoos anywhere. If you're only interested in the houses that accept those things, then pierce it. This isn't meant to be mean. Just honest. The only way you'll be appealing to all the houses is without piercings or tatts. If you want to eliminate certain houses before recruitment even starts, then go ahead. Honestly....

^^^^^^ yes to all of this. Or better yet, be unique and make yourself stand out with stellar grades, a winning personality, a real interest in other people, lots of honors and leadership roles and looking and dressing your best. If you have to resort to self-mutilation to stand out, God help you. But if you choose a low-rent way to express your individuality, expect to wind up in a low-rent house.

its up to you. there are multiple women in my chapter who have them and rock them. its just an expression of who you are. I feel like it really shouldn't matter what you have pierced but your personality and what you can bring to that chapter specifically. just be yourself and it will all work out in the end.
