Even though Legacy status has been removed as a factor from Nationals, many OR houses still look at Legacies. Case in point are KD and Kappa- they will still try to “steal” a legacy to having bragging rights. I know because I am from far OOS and both houses wanted me. I did end up meeting really nice girls in both houses, which surprised me.

It’s just kinda different cause agd doesn’t rly rush the same girls as kd and kkg. If I had to guess it’s pretty likely agd has more northern girls than kd and kkg, but I feel like kd/kkg rush more based on connections/money while agd looks more at a pnm’s resume. This is also kinda the case for axo. I also wouldn’t say kd and kkg are “bigger” houses they just have a bigger reputation amongst southern girls.

Not the same. AGD wants the girls with the very best grades. It’s becoming irrelevant where those top students come from. They also want the nice girls that are rule followers and don’t do, say or wear anything controversial ever. As a result, they are a house with smart and very boring girls.

AGD wants grades. They are boring if you have an ounce of fun in you and are ready to enjoy Bama.

Totally agree. You will be more included in the sisterhood of NR houses and have a better chance of getting leadership positions in a house that isn’t full of girls that already knew each other before college and will vote and select each other for positions.

You will NEVER have to worry about paying an empty bed fee or being forced into living in-house if you’re OR. Many OOS girls don’t want to live in-house because they need a place for their parents/ sibs to stay when they visit. OR houses have waiting lists to get in-house and they go by grades and house positions.

That is the stupidest comment ever! I'm NR and our house fills up with girls living in house without a problem. Also, all parents I know can afford a hotel room. Go where you feel comfortable and not getting your info from the bimbo above.

You forgot PM. I always do too.
I’d put them in the same category as DDD and AGD.

@NR is Better

If you actually were in a sorority you would know that all houses are supposed to be using values-based recruitment. It's a National Panhellenic thing not just a southern thing at UA

There is a BIG difference between what is suppose to happen to what actually happens. If you were in a sorority - you would know!

Y'all have no idea what you're talking about when you bring up "values-based recruitment." It does NOT mean not being able to choose your membership the way you want. It simply means that the PROCESS of recruitment should not revolve around sororities showing off with huge rush budgets spent on excessive decorations, food, party favors, skits, and required sorority outfits that cause a financial burden to the members. Because rush used to be like that. It was a week of rather shallow 'let us impress you' show-off events put on by the sororities meant to dazzle the rushees instead of getting to know each other. There was no mention of a chapter's philanthropy, no discussion of the sisterhood aspect, and far less chance for actual conversations. Values-based recruitment refers to all of that, and has nothing to do with not offering bids to people that the chapter members already know and like and want to be their sorority sisters.

I agree. It’s a bad move to join Kappa or KD as OOR and expect to have a good experience. XO gives me the same vibe but I’m not sure because I don’t know any Actives in that house.
