by: ListenI don't like this whole thing I'm seeing where actives on this site are pitting PNMs against each other. Seeing things like, "going up against 2,000 other girls" or, "competing with all the other girls" is incredibly misleading. You are rushing to find your new home away from home! By that logic, you aren't "competing" against anyone. If anything, you should be making friends. These girls could very well be in your pledge class. YOU ARE NOT COMPETING. You are showing sororities who you are as a person and what is important to you. This is exactly how people find their best fit and houses pick the girls that will fit in well with them accordingly. It seems like people on this site lose sight of this because of the bizarre ranking system. Going away to college is hard, and I know that all I wanted was a group of people I could truly feel were like my family. Would you really want to have to put a ton of effort into pretending you're a certain way when you actually aren't for the sake of being in what the five people who continuously post on here consider a "top house"? No one gets enough sleep for that. Whether you're a freshman or a sophomore, don't be rude or crazy and you will get a bid; and I can personally promise that you will be happy with it as long as you're taking every single thing you see on this site with a grain of salt. Be sweet and be yourself. We can't wait to meet y'all!

Which is why pnms who say they want to be in a certain house before they even rush are stupid. How do they even know they want that house without even knowing the girls? How do they know they are going to click with that specific house or make friends in that house when they know nothing about it except from stalking their tumblrs and websites. It's superfical and goes back to the original point of come in with an open mind and don't talk about other house!

This is the way recruitment works:
You start out with 15 options. You go to all 15 houses, make the best impression you can at EVERY SINGLE ONE. Because if you think that the sorority women don't have friends in other houses, you are wrong. If you are rude in one house because you think you are too good for them, it will be known across greek town.
After the first two days, you have a maximum of 11 options. Anyone you don't have on your list for second round no longer exists for you. If you aren't invited back to the house that you decided in high school was the "one," you can either suck it up and focus on what your options are, or you can drop out and not experience the brilliance that is being a member of a PHA house at Mizzou. I strongly advise that you focus on what you've got and move forward. You go to the houses that invited you and make the best impression you can at EVERY SINGLE ONE.
After two more days, you have a maximum of 7 options. Not everyone will have 7. You may only have 1 or 2. You go to the houses that invited you and make the best impression you can at EVERY SINGLE ONE. Those houses saw something in you and think that you have potential to be their sister. They didn't have to invite you, but they chose to invite you. Be gracious, and do your best to forget about the houses that aren't on your list.
After one more day, you have a maximum of 3 options. Again, not everyone will have 3. You go to the houses that invited you...

And GR deleted my follow up. ;)
TL;DR version - focus on the houses who invite you. Go through with an open mind.
Yes, it is competitive, if you are insistent that you will only accept a bid from a handful of houses. But if you are willing to take a chance on sisters who are willing to take a chance on you, you will find a home.
