Copied this cause it NAILED it....... 1. Sororities recruit on "fit" first and foremost. They want to believe you will relate to and get along in the house. 2. There is a LOOSE correlation to wealth and certain tastes, likes and social skills - and a a result a loose correlation to fitting in at certain houses and family wealth. P HOWEVER, there is NO minimum parental income level to which this can be tied at any house. 3. Houses ARE concerned with recruiting girls that won't have issues with paying dues and other financial obligations/expectations. If you are an unknown, they may do some investigation to see if there is reason to believe you can't (afford the dues). But in general, if they think you are a fit, the only issues becomes a belief you can pay the dues! 4. Old row houses may also be concerned if you will be around for four years. This is why they prefer in state girls. An OOS with parents with many zeroes in the back account, may still decide by junior/senior year that there is no reason to "pay the dues". The ' pressure' to stay active is greater for in state girls where 'dropping' has greater social consequences when they return home. As such, it's not only about "money". I just can't stress that enough - it's not about wealth! 5. There are no billionaire children here, or with any statistical significance anywhere! Quit dropping references to such on GR, it makes you sound like an idiot - Its clear your knowledge about money is about what you have seen on TV! You can be wealthy long before you have a billion dollar net worth and even if you live in a "fly over" location. Most wealthy people aren't being talked about on TV!!!!!!! 6. Although there is NO income minimum assigned to being able to fit in as noted above, a visit to campus will show there is no shortage of girls with sorority letters from ALL houses driving German cars, or accessoried Jeeps and new cars. Parents with a nice house, a second house near the beach or on a lake, and a nice car does not set you apart here! Not saying you MUST HAVE these things to 'get in', but it's hardly unusual. 7. "Notable" wealth here, is probably a family net worth of $10 million. That may start to set you apart. And, There is NO house with 400 sority members at or above this level! Get real ladies!
