I really liked a lot of the houses, it was actually hard to pick 6 to cut. The videos were all really good. What I don't understand is how the houses are going to cut girls without even meeting them. What are they basing it on? Or will it just go by how we rank them? But then I could see everyone picking the same houses. Does anyone know?

if someone doesn’t meet the GPA requirement would be the most common and objective reason

i agree all of the vids were really cool! just from talking to my roommate and stuff, I think that everyone is really looking for different things, so everyone will preference some different houses as we go along. like me and my roommate ranked our houses pretty differently

Typically it's a mix of factors, but you may remember filling out an info sheet including things like gpa, activities, legacy status etc. These are just some of the factors that can play into it, not all, and it can vary by houses. But think of it this way: would a house want a successful woman with a 4.0gpa, who was captain of a sport,had a leadership position in student council (for example) and more, or would a house want someone with a 2.7 who was only half involved in one activity and had zero leadership experiences? These are extremes obvs, but houses take gpa into account bc if someone barely got the minimum gpa to rush, there's a good chance their gpa may drop too low to meet the house's standards down the line. If someone had little involvement or leadership in highschool, what are the chances of them really committing to the sorority and one day having an exec position? Anyways long but hope this helps and makes some sense

True. Sad that we will never go in the houses. Or meet people face to face to get the real vibe.

We’re sad we can’t talk to you guys in-person either :( it’s weird making decisions based on zoom calls too, but just be yourself & be confident, and you will shine through.

I was generally happy with the houses I got, but I agree some of it seems really random. My roommate got a bunch that she put in her bottom 6.

I got 13 back but 6 of my bottom and then 4/6 of the top ones and 3 middle to low - so far that's the one I like best
My roommate got 6 and our friend got 7

Like I said before, upper/mid/bottom is all relative to what is important to you. :-) this recruitment is not normal, but we all are going through it.
I’m sure things will feel better (as they do on our end) as rounds continue and you can introduce yourself and make those connections. Same goes for us! Be confident and I’m sure your personality, values and passions will shine through!
If you only care about what you and other girls look like, there will be chapters that value that.
If you want to have a leadership role and bc super involved in the chapter? ✅ There are chapters that look for emerging and future leaders.
A cause to give time, money and volunteer for? ✅ Every sorority has a philanthropy, but some participate in their own activities as well as more throughout the Greek community.
Academics - who has the highest sorority GPA, offer study programs, support tools, etc.
If I was to rank all the chapters on these items alone the top/mid/bottom would look different. Regardless of the “tier” you can find chapters that will fit your interests. Trust yourself, your conversations and be open to the chapters that invite you back.
