international student rushing

by: elena   

Hi,
I'm a french girl interested in rushing sororities next fall. I heard it's really selective and I was wondering if being international and not knowing anyone is a disadvantage..

Have you considered LSU?

It depends on the house. Some will cut you bc you will not have connections or recs they are looking for. Others will love you.

Some come in with preconceived ideas about which houses are the only ones they will consider. They drop if they get cut from those houses. If you are open about which houses you will accept, you will have a great recruitment! Seriously all our houses are great, even the ones that people put on the bottom of the tiers. You will find so many sisters and friends in every house.

It will honestly help you, a lot! Being international, and from a cool country like France to boot, will only help you as long as you get all of your information in properly. Contact the Panhellenic office for help with recs and registration!

Not that unusual, there are usually several international PNMs every year. Good Luck !

We would love to have you here, but you have to be very certain that you have the dedication and fortitude to really commit to sorority life at Alabama. It isn't necessarily the most difficult to get into, but you will be expected to put in a lot of your time, and you will be expected to conform to the standard when you join.

I lived in Toulouse for 3 years and in Paris for another few years, and from my point of view, not very many French teenagers could do well in this environment. It may seem very superficial, very fake, and very controlling to you. Also understand that we are in a region where a lot of people are very close-minded. Please know what you are getting into before you decide to enter sorority recruitment.

Also, "cool country like France?" What, are other countries not "cool" too? I like France as much as the next girl, but they have their share of problems which equal - even exceed ours. SMH.

I know! HAHAHAHAHA! I guess it's cool in the winter. And maybe it's always cooler than Nigeria, though, right, "truth?"

Thank you for all your replies !
I wanted to know, what do you mean by "to conform to the standard when you join" ? Do you mean attractiveness?
Also, do I absolutely need a rec ? Since I don't know anyone in the greek system I won't be able to get one..

Look for the chapters with the most out of state members. Steer clear of houses that continually pledge from the same high schools.

Diversity of women is important for you.
