getting a sorority you didn’t expect

Be excited and give it a chance!! they were on your pref list for a reason. It could turn out to be a huge blessing in disguise.


Also pref going from 3 to 2 houses will hopefully eliminate the sadness of not getting your top house

Have a good attitude going in. Tell yourself that you’ve got until initiation to decide if you want to drop but until then you are going to give it a genuine shot.
It’s ok if you’re upset on bid day (but I’d recommend trying to hide it), my little showed up sobbing on bid day because my house was her second choice after Phi Mu (I’m in a lower-mid NR house). She was upset but still gave my house a shot and ending up being so happy that it’s where she ended up.
If you go in with a bad attitude and don’t get involved or go to swaps or spend time at your house, you won’t make any friends and you’ll hate it. But that will be your fault not the house’s

i didnt get my first house i preffed, but its still exciting!!! you get caught up in meeting all the new girls and seeing the house, its hard not to be excited.

Try your hardest to be excited! Just because you don’t love it at first doesn’t mean you won’t eventually grow to love it. Try to get involved with everything you can and make an effort to meet your pledge sisters. And if you still end up not liking your house, you can always drop before initiation and try again the next year.

How many sororitys you will join?

Coming from someone who didn’t get her first choice house: it’s okay to be upset. It’s okay to spend at least part of bid day and even new member retreat thinking you’re in the wrong house, considering dropping, calling your mom upset, etc. But don’t make any decisions until you give it a try. My opinion of my house during rush came more from other people than myself. After I spent time with my sisters, went to events, and got my big, I knew I was actually in the right place.

Y’all think about that
