@Smart PNM,

I think it's good that you noticed this stuff before rushing. I didn't and wonder if I would've been better off joining a house with a solid sisterhood. It's easy to get wrapped up in the whole fake prestige thing and then once you're on the inside, you realize that most of the girls look just like the girls in every other house (even the so-called "bottom" ones).

The attractive outgoing pledges end up being the queen bees and get a little cliquey at times. It can kind of be like being in high school again, even though you're in the same house.

To answer your question, it hurts the girls whose pictures don't make insta and all that. But the girls running things don't care because this stupid image thing is so important. Having exchanges with a certain frat is so important. And you should go to the frats' FB pages, too. Guess what? Most of them aren't that hot either.

In the end, you should really go for the house that feels like home to you. Don't drink the kool-aid. You'll just be disappointed. Just be you.

After reviewing everything on this site, it's clear to me which house everyone wants to be in but won't admit it: Pi Phi. Jealousy talks, and everyone seems to be talking about Pi Phi above all else. My friends from home agree.

Oh, my fake "Smart PNM," I would get your own handle, please. You're cramping my style.

Seriously, I would never tout myself as being spectacular like you just did. Only self-absorbed and vapid girls do things like that. And don't get me started on the incredibly thin comment. Anorexia is a serious issue and I've had one very close friend of mine deal with that as a gymnast.

My original post was meant to keep things real. I don't like it when people BS and project that they're something they're not. The so-called "top" houses aren't really that special, after all, and I was just pointing that out.

firstly this chain is hilarious and to anyone who has reached the end of this chain at this point and read everything thus far: shut up and stop being unhappy with competition. who doesn't love a little healthy competition? ill tell you who. losers. stop tearing eachother down. whats the point? if youre a pnm, if youre an active, whatever, the most you'll get out of greek life is 4 years (maybe 5 but its pushing it) like honestly who cares. im VERY happy currently in the sorority that i am in. i respect every sorority, because i have friends in ALL of them. tbh every sorority is totally the same give a take a few of the choice girls the houses use on their tumblrs and instagrams to portray whatever vibe the particular house is going for that year. get a clue people. nobody in the greek system whos normal actually cares about this site and the only reason I'M even posting is i know as a pnm i looked at this sites religiously and this year at rush i was totally in my head and nervous because of posts like these instead of meeting girls that i would actually end up being friends with. stop projecting hatred its toxic, and not good for the ENTIRE system. prez nikias hates us anyways so we might not even be here next year.

Actually, I think they post their best looking girls to give PNMs the impression all their girls look like that when clearly that's not the case. I also don't like this misrepresentation. It's like we're being lied to. Or kind of like a bait and switch. It isn't a vibe thing. That's about all I could get from your ramblings.
Sorry.

My oh my, we have a veritable posse of people who want to be me in our midst tonight. I made this post to draw attention to the fact that all of the houses at USC clearly put their best looking girls front and center. After looking through the Facebooks of dozens of girls in all of the top houses, I've found that the average girl in these so-called "hot" houses like DG, Kappa and Theta is...well, average.

Don't deny facts.

Wow, people have sure been busy on this thread, since my post. Geez, a lotta venom.That said, I agree with other posters that said PNMs should just go with the house that they feel the strongest connection with and not worry about tiers. My mom and her sorority sisters from decades ago still get together, share what's going on with them via FB, etc., and actually help and comfort those that need it.They truly enjoy a life-long sisterhood bond---maybe they were just lucky they "clicked" and also ppl were more polite then. But, PNMs should look at Recruitment as more than just a 4 year gig--- you can make friendships that will last for a lifetime. This is what guided my choice, if its any help. Good luck PNMs, look forward to meeting you!
