Grades matter, an awesome resume matters, good recs matter. It all matters. Start working on securing these. Many people will say it doesn't matter, but it does. Those who are easy to cut are the ones who are missing something above or they have a bad rep. Can you get a bid without any of these or missing some of them? Maybe, by why take the chance and start the whole process below the level playing field? Connections certainly help. You get a bid in a house where there are people pulling for you. The more people pulling for you, the better your chance of getting a bid. Do people get a bid without connections? Yes, they can. However, just like the other things, connections help. I am far OOS and I am in OR. I also took three OR to pref. With a full card every round, I will say not to believe the hype on here. Most of the houses really brought it to rush. They are all good. I really liked many of the houses that others say are middle/lower tier on here. There were even a few top tier that I didn't like at all. One thing I found reassuring was that some of the houses I didn't like early on but by the end, after talking to other sisters in different rounds, I loved them. I could have seen myself in many of the houses. Work on what you can control and let go of the rest. Also, be open minded enough to accept a bid from any house if you want to go greek.
