Connections

Poster Message:
Connections are huge. I wasn't an outstanding PNM in any way but ended up in a "top tier OR" house despite being far OOS. I'm cute but not gorgeous, have good grades but I'm no valedictorian, my only legacy was to a "lower" NR, etc. I'm a pretty good conversationalist but so are lots of girls. All but two OR houses dropped me after first round, and after philanthropy I only had my current house along with some awesome NR. I LOVE my house, I had wanted it from the first day of rush. But, I know I only got in because my parents' friend's daughter is in said House. Not that they would have disliked me otherwise but especially by pref when these OR houses already have so many tops picked out, I probably would have slipped through the cracks. I talked to her first round, had great conversations there everyday and felt at home immediately, but I know she pulled me through. Girls in my Rho Chi who were similar type PNMs got dropped from OR pretty quickly. That being said, this girl that pulled me through was telling me about her own rush the other day and she had 0 connections, 2 NR legacies, and preffed 2 OR and a "top" NR. (She is super pretty though, had lots of recs, and a higher GPA so maybe that's why.)
