what does it take?

I'm in one of these 3 organizations, and truth be told, you'll have no problem getting a bid from one of these three if you make a genuine connection. Like everyone has said just be yourself because you simply cannot force a 5 minute conversation to go well no matter how hard you try. It's ironic because when I went through recruitment I wanted to get a bid from 2 of these top three and I was focused on getting into those two (I already had friends in those two). However, after the first and second rounds the other "top tier" sorority I wasn't even expecting to be crazy about was the one for me and it was the best choice I made for myself to go with what felt right for me and not where I had a few friends. Also, even if you get into a top tier organization, know that you may not love it if it isn't where you fit in. When you make your final decision and you are choosing between a top tier or middle/bottom tier sorority, choose the one you feel most comfortable or else you're just going to feel awkward for the next few years.
