if you’re a pnm

...get off this website.
I did the same thing when I was a PNM- I was super worried about recruitment and wanted to know EVERYTHING and Greekrank seemed like the best, most honest resource. If you really want recruitment advice, like what to worry about and how to act, talk to girls who are in sororities, or even better, talk to graduates. Girls in sororities can’t tell you everything, but the advice they can give you is the type you actually want.
Even if you don’t have anyone to ask right now, do your research by looking at the Panhellenic website and sororities’ actual media. It was way more helpful than this website’s BS. I promise you will be OK!
Also some notes on the false impression greekrank gives
1. makes it seem like everyone worries about tiers all the time. they don’t. while there may be some differences between the day to day of diff tiers (i.e. how many socials you go to, the people you see often, the bars you hang out at), it doesn’t vary all that much. people are not actually this catty and even the girls in the “top tier” don’t sit around thinking about it
2. Greekrank makes it seem like some sororities are just known to be “better” than others, and that everyone will like them in this exact order. The fact is, it is entirely possible and even probable that you can hate a house you thought you would love and love a house you thought you would hate. I preffed at three “top tier” houses, and the order I put them down in is the exact opposite of the order this website would have you believe. Spoiler- I’m super happy with my decision and every day in my sorority makes me more grateful to be in the house I am.
3. Greekrank would have you think that people judge you based on what house you’re in. While they may use their idea of your house to flesh out some parts of your personality if they don’t know you that well (i.e. if you tell someone you’re in chi O they might assume you’re also super sweet and a dependable person), they’re not going to immediately classify you as “better” or “worse” than them depending on your house. If they do, they’re a loser, and in the minority.

Rush is actually a lot of fun. Don’t let this website scare you. Have a fun summer and love yourself!
