If you present yourself well and give every house a chance you will most likely find your place. To answer your question, yes there are a handful of nice girls who fall through the cracks each year and are released. It is such a small number, but it happens. There is a second chance with snap bids and COB if this happens to you. Dress the part and be polite and friendly at every house and you will be successful. Going in as an unknown, even with your recs, is going to make it much harder but you will find a great house that will take the chance. Being from the northeast, don't be discouraged if you don't have a full card each round. Don't let this make you upset or it comes through in the houses you do have left and then they may let you go as well. Some good advice from my Rho Chi a few years ago and I passed on when I was a RC: You can only pledge one house so as long as you have one on your card you are good. Enjoy the houses that invite you back since they saw something in you and wanted to get to know you better and forget the houses that had to let you go. We have to cut our list down drastically so don't take it personally when you are released from a house. Be thankful and excited when you have houses left each round and go into those house excited to learn more. Keep an open mind and realize that most of what you read on GR is self serving junk or troll nonsense. All of the houses have 400 girls and all houses have superstars. The past few years I have watched as nice, normal PNMs come in with ideas that they will go to any house except---and then the go on to list 3-5 houses where they feel they think they are too good to go. These houses are all amazing but they go in to IWT looking for all the reasons they wouldn't fit instead of focusing on the great things the house has to offer. In every house you will find frienship, leadership, social opportunities, and fun. When they are left with 3-4 houses at sisterhood and they happen to be those houses that PNM predetermined were not good enough, they drop or they sabotage themselves by acting horrible. For some reason they feel that they are better than the thousands of girls in those houses and choose to be a GDI instead. The truth is there are NO bad houses or bad choices in our system. Look around. There are gorgeous friendly girls in every one of our beautiful houses. Your attitude will go a long way towards getting your in.
