question
by: PNMWhat are the chances I'll get a bid from Alpha Chi or Phi Mu? What do they look for? I'm open minded, but these two are my favorites right now and I'm just wondering.

You give no info about yourself.....so there are about 140 pledges in each house. 2700 girls rush.
In round numbers 5 percent chance of getting in each house. Ten percent chance of one or the other.
Of course, if you have to ask (which suggests you are frankly "clueless" and not prepared) as these are competitive houses with girls who have positioned themselves to be wanted and on their radar, if you haven't done theses things, the odds are much, much lower.

This thread went toxic in a hurry. So OP, to answer your question. These houses look for similar things, but may have a different priority for each.
AXO tends to look for grades and test scores above all else. Then you usually need a connection within the house (right zip, camps, whatever). Tend to draw a lot of southern Baptist, hense the nickname Alpha Christ.
PM looks for pretty, well rounded girls. They want academic, but not necessarily valedictorians. Because they value looks, they tend to get labeled as vain. Seem to take more international and out of state girls than other OR houses, as long as they fit their image.

I'm actually in one of these houses I promise!
AXO tends to look for grades more than PM does (you'll need at least a 3.0 for both)
Both obviously want pretty girls but PM tends to pay more attention to looks
You'll probably need some sort of a connection to both unless you are literally a super cool comedian and you have the best personality ever. (This would consider you to be a rush find if you know no one and they give you a bid). But you don't even need to directly know any of the girls in the house. If you have a mutual friend with someone in Axo or PM reach out to them and ask them to tell their Axo of PM friend about you.
I came to bama knowing literally no one besides the girls that I met through my older sister's sorority sisters that reached out to their friends at bama. I ended up prefing Axo and PM.
Socially you'll need to be involved to get into these houses. Did you play a sport? Student gov? Theatre?
And I hate to say it but they need to have an idea that you are financially stable. This sounds really bad, but we don't want to give a bid to someone that may have to drop because they can't afford their dues when we could give it to a girl that would love to be in our house and can afford it. We don't care if your rich, but we wanna make sure that you can afford what comes with being a PM or Axo.
Honestly I love my house and it's smart to have an interest in these houses. I have friends in the other house I prefer as well

Why would I put info about myself so you can try to figure out who I am at recruitment? That's stupid, considering how rude these actives are on this website. Why would anyone want to join a sorority if they are going to be treated like dirt just for being ignorant and asking questions? That's the opposite of constructive. I was asking what these houses looked for. Just tell me rather than getting defensive and coming at me. You don't need to know anything about me to tell me what they look for. GPA's? Looks? Connections? There's no need to be rude, catty, and immature to the girls who may wear your letters one day, end up on your executive boards, and someday recruit members of their own. Be respectful, because treating fellow women like garbage reflects poorly on your own sisterhood.
