rush

If you didn’t get a bid, that doesn’t say anything about you, just means you probably didn’t know anyone. The biggest issue with IU is the fact that the school is too big and kids know way too many kids before coming here, not making it a very good or normal college experience. If IU accepted half as many kids the school would be much better overall and you would actually have to earn your way in, and not just take the easy way out and go to a college with hundreds of kids from high school. If you’re not in Greek life, good luck with your social life though because there is absolute nothing to do here other than Greek life. At other schools rush is 3-4 weeks, with several different rounds where you hear either way. Kids aren’t signed weeks before rush and connections aren’t an important factor. At another school you could be in the top house, but if you went to IU and didn’t know anyone you would likely not get a bid anywhere.

If you are a chill and social kid you'll get a bid regardless

That’s true for the top frats 100%, but the middle ones are manageable if you vibe with the guys and have 0 connections.

As a guy who didn’t get a bid, I appreciate this. I think I’m a pretty normal guy, and it just didn’t work out. Gonna shoot for lower houses in spring, plus I have friends in houses now. Thank you for taking the time though to write all that

This post sounds like it was written by someone who is salty they didn’t get a bid. The problem isn’t connections, it’s the fact that most kids think they’re too cool for middle or lower houses when they are still equally as cool. Greek life is the top 20% of kids so a lower mid house is still the cooler part of IU, not the bottom like it sounds. Just go in without stereotypes and if you vibe with the guys you’ll get a bid anywhere besides maybe Beta, Pi Kapps, or Sig Chi where connections are big
