scared

Yep it might be a huge disadvantage!

We do take into consideration if a girl doesn't like another girl that's rushing but the situation has to be really, really bad for it to count. I think the last girl we cut because of this informed us the girl rushing had a criminal record she was hiding and it turned out to be true. Otherwise we rush you just like every other girl in the house.

If the house you are referring to doesn't give you an equal chance because of some drama that happened, then is that a house you want to be in? Every house should give you an equal chance regardless of any falling outs you've had with other members.

The reality is that this happens all the time. That's why people say it's better to go through rush if you are from out of state and don't know anyone. While some houses make you state ahead of time why you absolutely would not want someone to be in the house, that's not the only way you could be eliminated because someone dislikes you. The other way is if that girl works behind the scenes to get people to not "vote you up," or give you a high ranking. Some houses are worse about this than others. TriDelt, DG and Kappa are among the worst. ChiO, PiPhi, Theta and ADPi tend to be a bit more open minded about this sort of thing. Keep in mind the source, too. If the person who hates you is not well-liked in her own house, then no one cares what they think.
