Just wondering

Hey troll, of course tiers matter. In fact, this whole site is designed around them and that is why it's called GREEK RANK. That said, tiers are really all an illusion except for those objective numbers from tor. The top self promoting tiers think somehow their fun is better than others so they push out these fake rankings, but if anyone bases their choice on those opinionated biased ranks they are crazy.

Hi, i rushed as a sophomore and went into rush with everyone i knew telling me which houses i would fit into best. Rush itself tho is very different. I preffed a top house that I was convinced I would drop after round 1 but they surprised me every time i went back. I also preffed at a middle house. I picked the top house bc they made me feel much more wanted and welcome during recruitment. My house is also more ambitious and competitive than the other house I preffed, and they appealed to my drive. I will not lie tho, tier did affect my decision a little. It was very flattering to me that they kept asking me back, and I do think i have a slightly more active social life for it tbh. We also are way more involved on campus. I am always very proud to wear my letters, which unfortunately not every sorority member is.
I will say that i do think about having gone the other house a lot. I’m more of their “type” where I’m not really my house’s type, so sometimes I do feel left out. Especially because most of my PC knew actives coming in, where I didn’t. I don’t think that either experience would have been better, just different. i’d definitely still hang out with the same frats regardless of my house, even though a lot of sororities stick to their certain frats. I have also met way more people I think because of my house.
People WILL treat you differently based on your tier unfortunately. And its usually the “lower” orgs who obsess over it more. I actually avoid mentioning my affiliation unless people straight up ask just because some people act so damn weird about it.
