gamma phi beta

You can always drop before initiation if you don't end up liking it

I felt that way too.

Gamma Phi was not allowed to cut many people. Honestly, if you don't feel a connection with them, you probably won't get a bid. I know several PNMs that did like them, so odds are they weren't feeling you either. If you got dropped from every other house, they were probably forced to take you back. Sorry.

most of the girls they asked back they asked back because they had to. There are a decent amount of girls who actually liked and were interested in gamma phi, and honestly, if you didn't like them they probably didn't like you either. The way you feel isn't exclusive to gphi, I had a friend get asked back to ONLY alpha phi for pref round last year and she absolutely was not feeling it. don't be a brat because they're new

if you are asking advice on here about accepting a bid you don't deserve one.

Using RFM, each chapter is required to ask so many people back for each round based on return rates from previous years. Chapters who typically have strong return rates, like Kappa, DG and pi phi are not permitted to ask that many girls back. Weaker chapters who have very low return rates are REQUIRED to ask more girls back then they typically want. Since gamma phi is new, RFM makes the assumption that they are a week or chapter and they probably had to ask back hundreds of girls that they didn't make connections to. So your feelings may be valid.
If you did decide to sign a bid card, you are bound for one year. Attend bidday and give it a try.

If it wasn't gamma phi, it would just be another chapter though. You're guaranteed a bid as long as you "maximize your options," but they never give you a chance not to do that because you have to rank EVERY house you visit up until pref. it sounds like none of the sororities really saw you as a good fit but because you had to get asked back to at least one house for pref, it ended up being gamma phi. Maybe you're just not meant to be in a chapter at OSU

I was actually pleasantly surprised with Gamma Phi Beta. The girls that I was paired with were decently attractive and interesting. I know they haven't really found their spot in the tier system and they are homeless until fall but I think they're a lot cooler than any of us expected. They were 2nd on my pref list and I wouldn't be upset with a bid from them. Give it a chance, you never know!

Even Gamma Phi is allowed to "cut" people, even though they are encouraged not to, so they want you or at least think you are worthy of becoming their sister.

To be honest, at this point, you have nothing to lose by accepting your bid (esp. if you already signed MRABA b/c that means you can't participate in informal recruitment in the fall anyway). Think of the next month as a "trial period" and a time for you to check them out. Then, decide what you want to do. You can always not initiate (although there may be some financial costs so I would check on that). People surprise you and GPhi might too.

One of the biggest thing i noticed as i looked around the room was how diverse the group was and that they seem to pride themselves on the individuality in the room. That seemed to be what the entire pref ceremony was about. There are every type of girl in gamma phi so if you do receive a bid from them you will most likely find girls you connect with it.
