internal recruitment process

Bump

It's different for every single house, so just trust the process and go where you're comfortable. Best of luck!

Good luck!

if you're a good fit for the house and leave brothers/sisters with a good impression, you have a higher chance of getting a bid. every house has a different process and you're not going to get anyone to tell you what it is haha. just BE YOURSELF and put your best foot forward. it'll help you find where you fit best and where you really belong.

Do you actually think someone is going to give you a break down of what every house on this campus does.....

Not even people on the other side of rush know this, except for maybe a few frats and sororities including their own. There's a reason why the process is kept secret. It also differs for every house. My impression is that for frats, it's a little less structured and you'll get to meet a higher portion of the brothers since the pcs are so small. At this point you should be well acquainted with the frat/brothers enough to know which smokers to attend. You'll be invited by the brothers to events later and later into rush, otherwise you know you're cut.

Sorority rush is a lot more structured and controlled by panhel. Each house has a system of voting, remembering and commenting on you. Generally, after each round you'll be discussed or given a score or they'll write comments. Some houses cut after each round, others cut at the end of the day. Other houses will talk about you with the whole sorority, others will just rely on individual input of people who talked to you and aggregate that at the end of the day. Deliberation gets more involved and standards are raised as the rounds go on. I think after each day panhel gets a list with names ranked from the sorority, which they match to the list of pnms wanting to come back.

Some houses will try to rush friend groups, or will dirty rush. I don't think that anyone is looking for a specific type of person that fits a stereotype of a house. Just be yourself and trust the process. Don't take it personally if you're cut- you don't want

Calm down and relax. There's nothing you can do before rush that'll help you out. The only significant thing, meeting a brother or sister and building a relationship with them, can't be done anymore. Even being a legacy, unless you have an active connection at Cornell right now, isn't going to do much. Just be yourself, don't be a try hard and go through the process. Good luck
