what to do when you don't know how to rank houses

Recruitment is difficult because the high school mentality of "being the coolest" or "being the most popular" feels SO important at the time, even though all that really matters is if you feel like you can be genuinely happy and yourself at the house you end up in. If you feel like you will be genuinely happy in a "top" house like theta, then choose theta! Same goes for any other house, all that matters is YOU and how the girls in the house make you feel.

Imagine how difficult it would be to join a house because you think they are popular and end up feeling insecure because you aren't comfortable around the girls, resulting in 4 years of being unhappy. Choose the house that makes you feel confident and like you mean something to them.
