sorority

Tbh, I hated my house first round. I ranked them in my bottom four. But after sisterhood, I completely fell in love and wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

My house was my favorite going into rush. I love it, but it was kind of eye opening to see that just because a house advertises itself a certain way doesn’t mean that it’s actually like that.

I came into rush with a really high GPA and a lot of involvement. All the girls who rushed me were also smart and involved, making me think the whole house was. When I pledged I realized that this was not a thing that my house really valued. There are still smart and involved girls, but it was disappointing to figure out that I was among the minority.

Very true.. I had a house that rushed me SO well. Beautiful, smart girls. I took them to pref, but when I looked at the other PNMs around me I realized it wasn’t the right place for me

they were the one sorority that really stood out to me. they were the only house with actives following me, and i knew of older ladies who once were in my sorority. (im far northern oos) that being said, they were the one sorority i could identify by name and put a face to it.... i just clicked with the girls and everyone in my rho chi had nothing bad to say about them..

the girl i talked to all of rush ended up being my big!

I ranked my house in the bottom four after the first round, I never hated it but it was definitely just “ok” throughout rush. It ended up being my only house on pref and I definitely liked it more than the thought of being a gdi so I took the bid.
I know “trust the process” is just a dumb thing rho chi’s say to PNMs, but I am so glad that I ended up in my house because I never would have picked it if I’d had other options and now my house means SO much to mean and I can’t imagine being anywhere else

My house was the top of my list every single day! I loved it from the very beginning and am still in love with my house today!

During bama bound I knew nothing about the house. As I drove on sorority row I looked at the house thinking they would never take a girl like me. Here we are now and I was one of the top pnms they were rushing(I know this because i was treated how we treat our top pms during rush). Anyways I fell in love with the house because the girls there I knew I could be friends with each and every one of them.

I did not like my house AT ALL for most of rush. During IWT, philanthropy, and sisterhood I was like "nope they are wayyy too in my face" and kept ranking them low but they kept asking me back. It wasn't until pref that I was like ok yes and fell in love with it and I actually put it as my top choice.

PNMs need to keep an open mind and really take a better look at houses that are inviting you back. These houses have 400 people spending a lot of time and paying a lot of money to be a part of them. There has to be something really great about each one for that to happen. Your feelings will change through the process but you will find a great place if you are open.

I loved my house during IWT and ranked them in the top 3. Listened to a little tent talk and didn't quite feel it the next round and down it went to the middle of the pack. The final 2 rounds I clicked again and felt so comfortable there. TBH I ranked it 2nd out of my 3 pref houses but had regrets once back in the dorm. It all worked out and the house that I ranked 1 (a high prestige house but not me) would have been a horrible fit. Both my 2nd and 3rd would have been fine and I love my house.

Just want to put this out there: Whatever house you get on bid day, even if you aren't in love with it or it was your absolute last choice, just remember that the girls in it ADORE you and are so excited to get to know you. If you get your last choice you will most likely be disappointed, but PLEASE try and focus on the fact that the girls who rushed you love their house and it's important to them and they chose YOU to be a part of it. Getting new sisters is so exciting for us, and you're already so loved before you've even officially ran home.
