PNM advice from an alum
by: advice from an alumPlease do not stress yourselves out with the "rankings." my little sister is going through cu rush this year and told me everyone is talking about greekrank. Fwiw, I rushed at cu five years ago now and had kappa and alpha phi on pref night. I suicide rushed kappa because I just loved their physical house (I knew i wanted to live in sophomore year) and bonded a lot with the girls during rush, and didn't really fit in at a phi! nothing against a phi but it wasn't my vibe! Im not saying to suicide rush but I'm so happy that I went with the house where my HEART was instead of trying to choose whatever was considered the most "top" tier sorority. now as an alum i actually have lifelong friends. y'all got this!! <3

Suiciding is a risk. If you aren't high enough to make the cutoff with that one house before they match to quota then you aren't getting that bid, but it's legit if you absolutely would never ever ever accept a bid from your #2 house no matter what. Suiciding does not increase your chance of getting that house in any way.
Commentby: im aware
Im aware which is why i said i don't recommend suicide rushing!! this was also five years ago and there were different rules and factors at play than now; I knew id get a kappa bid with 99.9% certainty. my point was that you should go with the house that you feel in your heart is right instead of the popular house. i literally suicide rushed because i would have rather not be in a sorority than end up in a house where i felt i didn't really fit in at the end of the day.

That is the only reason to SIP, if you'd rather have no bid at all than get your #2. But IDK what you mean by different rules five years ago, there weren't. You were just fortunate that it worked out for you.

#2by: Might well be true
There were indeed different rules 5+ years ago if OP was a Kappa legacy. At that time, a Kappa legacy at preference was supposed to be put on the first bid list. So I wouldn't even call it a "suicide" preference, because the KKG bid was effectively guaranteed.

Yep I was a kappa legacy but also an Aphi legacy! I was told Kappa gave legacies a guaranteed bid if they made it to pref night and listed Kappa as their top house.... however of course I didn't know that for sure for sure. (that's why I said 99% sure) I don't mean this as advice just an anecdotal experience I thought might help PNM's who are caught up in the popularity contest thing or worried about getting a "top house." That's all!

the rule used to be that a legacy that prefs goes to the top of the bid list-not the case anymore

Whatever man I'm muting this now. I said my piece. I probably shouldn't have named my house or Aphi to be fair but I just feel for my little sister and all the PNM's going through rush because I remember when I was in your shoes (thinking really hard about what to choose.... so many different sororities but I kept coming back to those fleur de les) okay I'll take my cringy Kappa rap elsewhere but hope this helps someone out there!

And this kind of mean girl energy right here is EXACTLY why I wouldn't have liked Aphi; and why I went with Kappa where I could be myself!

by: suiciding
single intention preference aka suiciding is a huge risk. If a house can take 175 girls total and you are 176 on their list you will may or may not bet a bid depending on how far down their bid list they go. If you have two houses for pref you are guranteed a bid from one of the two house.
