If you already have a group of friends in a house and that house gives you a bid, you won’t experience the isolation that some OOR girls face in certain houses because you already have your friend group. I would not worry about that after you get a bid. You will be fine and happy. However, don’t go through recruitment thinking you’ll for sure get a bid from the house you have friends in. You may or may not. I’d keep an open mind about that during recruitment. Houses have 400ish members and knowing 5-6 actives will help you but will not guarantee you party invites or a bid unless the actives you know are officers or head of recruitment where their opinions hold more weight. I think there were 2,300 or some girls that went through Recruitment last year so it’s a tough numbers game. Campus enrollment is increasing so recruitment numbers have followed that trend up. Going through recruitment as a sophomore is also a little more difficult. Houses prefer freshman because they will be a part of their house for the maximum amount of time. However, every house extends bids to some sophomores so don’t lose sleep over that. Several girls go through recruitment thinking they only want 1-2 houses and the others will suck. That’s dangerous thinking and those are the girls that are literally crying on the street when they get their party invites and get cut from those 1-2 houses. Its pretty pathetic because I’m not sure how any girl can think she’s too good for any house on this campus. Keep an open mind. Go back to where you are most comfortable and you will be fine. As already stated above, there is no need to feel bad about yourself if you get cut from the Old Row houses- there are a lot of factors in play that are way beyond your control and it is not a sign that you aren’t pretty, smart or good enough. All the houses on this campus provide a much better Greek experience than any house on any other campus. Despite the horrible comments on this site, none of them suck. Bama is the gold standard for Greek life and all houses share in that.
