thoughts on sorority life + rush tips?

Hey! I honestly would go through the process and see what happens. I’m not going to lie. The process is pretty brutal and I’m assuming there’s going to be even more girls rushing next year, but you really do never know. When you go through the process, it’s so important to think about the big picture and if you would really fit in at the place or if you just like the aesthetic of it. I love my house and don’t know what I would do without it ❤️

ill be brutally honest and say that yes a lot of houses (esp the top ones) choose by looks and qualities that you might deem “stereotypical.” also i would say that being shy isnt bad but isnt ideal in greek life. personally i think its worth it. i have a fun social life, ive made amazing friends, i feel motivated in my studies because of gpa requirements. but there are hard and stressful moments, and rush season is gonna be crazy next year, since so many people want to go to iu since the nattys. however, there are like 22 houses, so your chances of getting into 1 arent CRAZY slim. i would say try it out. if you get dropped, you get dropped. if you dont like it, you can drop. but maybe youll love it

you sound like you’d fit right in

definitely go for it!! Rush is a tough process for sure but it seems like you already have the right mindset! All chapters have their own charm and with so many people in Greek life you’re bound to make friends :) biggest tips are to focus on where you connect with (not what others say), don’t get super attached to a specific chapter (I had PNMs in the past be super attached and want to drop when they didn’t get it only to end up in love with the house they ended up at), and be yourself! Wishing you best of luck!
