Sorority Recruitment

The Panhel algorithm is good because it pushes stronger chapters release more PNMs earlier in the recruitment process, allowing PNMs to focus on chapters that are a realistic option for them.

Realistically, how likely is it that I could get a COB if I got to house tours with one of the chapters? I've reached out, but I just want to manage my expectations.

Seems like a lot of people are coming on here asking for info about COBs. It would be good if the ISC used social media to tell us all the chapters that are participating.

And for those who don't know, "Continuous open bidding is an opportunity for chapters to informally add members at any time of the yea

So many students come here and are used to being able to get whatever they want in high school. Students who go to more selective schools have even more of this in their life experience, so the realities of a social rush where knowing people and being liked is far more important than a resume is especially hard to accept. But sororities are social clubs, not honor societies, and they choose their own membership; it's not a sign up sheet. Of course they are far more likely to go with the known rather than the unknown; that's not hard to see.

I ended up dropping because I didn’t feel as if I would be a good fit for my pref houses. I’m a second year so rushing again is not an option. What can I do to meet new people and not feel left out of the Greek social scene? What to do now?

I went into rush not knowing a lot of what to expect. I was a little unprepared and honestly wish I used a rush coach. I made it far with most of my top choices, and I ended up in a decent (mid-tier) sorority, but I don’t know if it’s the right one for me (wasn’t one of my top choices). I feel like I don’t really connect with anyone and I don’t want to risk it if I ended up somewhere I didn’t like even more or didn’t get a bid at all. I would rather just stick it out than not be in a sorority at all. I was wondering if most sororities even took second years or not and if there’s even a point in trying to rush again.

I got dropped from all my favorite sororities after house tours. My friends ended up in these sororities. What are my options? Do I have to wait till informal again? Or do I have the possibility for a COB? Idk I feel really sad and I just want to a join a sorority I fit in with.

Obviously it’s too early to know which sororities will be doing fall informal rush, but any tips for how I could try to prepare now? Like getting closer with girls in current PCs so I’m more known in the sorority by this fall, etc.

I got cut after philanthropy and went from 11 houses to 3. All my favorites cut me so I like to hope I fell through the cracks but that many sororities didn’t want me is upsetting to hear. Can I even get a cob from a house that cut me so early?

How does COB work and when does it start? Also do I have to have connections to participate because I'm not really close with anyone in the sororities that I'm interested in.
