actives: if you could give advice to a pnm...

What would it be?
Lately there's been some threads with a lot of great advice that PNMs should see. I thought it would be nice if we started a thread to compile all the good advice. There's a lot of absolute garbage on this website, so lets put some good stuff out there.

Forget the ratings and negative comments on this site which are posted by a handful of salty people. Be true to yourself and find a house that is a best fit for you. Remember they will be your sisters for the next 4 years and if you follow your instinct you will have a great experience. During rush week you can tell which house really wants you because you will see a mutual connection.

If you don't get a bid to a house you want...
Trust the process. Stick it out up until initiation. Don't drop before you get your big. A lot of girls say their experience did a 180 as soon as they got their big sis. Stick it out. Make friends. Make an effort to make friends in your pledge class. Hang out at the house. Introduce yourself to others.
Your experience is what you make of it. The majority of girls who have bad experiences in their houses, well, they only have themselves to blame. The only time I don't blame girls who drop are when they are bullied, which unfortunately happens.

If you don't like the house you got stick with most of this advice^^ you have to get involved and make friends too see how fun it actually can be but some people try all of that out and still don't like their house, if this is the case DROP. It's not worth the money to be somewhere you know you don't like and you can always rush again. (If you drop before initiation)

If you get a bid from a house you didn't want and you try it out and still know it's not the house for you don't listen to the dumb overused cliche advise "trust the system." Trust yourself. Some Greek system only knows you for multiple short conversations, you know you the best and if you know a house isn't for you don't let some girl with a repeated saying try to keep you in the house. You know you, do what's best for you. Mistakes happen and a lot of girl I'm sure deserved bids from houses they didn't get so don't always trust the system.

"a lot of girl I'm sure deserved bids from houses they didn't get"
Lol no. Girl, you need to stop posting here. You're not Greek. You rushed and thought you were too good for the house you got. Newsflash: No one DESERVES a bid.
You aren't greek, and it's embarrassing that you're on this website. Seriously. Log off. Get a hobby.

PNMs need to open their thoughts to becoming a lifelong sister to any of our homes. Realize the potential within each one, and choose to work earnestly within whichever house you are bid. They are all looking for the best in you and from you, forever. Forget fixating on which will give you famous sisters, which has cute women, which has the smartest students. And remember, by joining one group you will become a member with them all thru the 115 year-old National Panhellenic Conference!

If you join a sorority and have a miserable experience, don't blame the sorority. Most likely, you're the miserable one. If you go in with a bad attitude, you won't make friends. Don't expect to automatically have friends just because you have a bid in your hands. You still have to be a likeable and outgoing person.
Keep an open mind during rush. Take your invites and be happy with what you get. Got dropped by a house you love? No point crying about it. Focus on the ones who actually saw something in you.

Be yourself and you'll be ok! It's a stressful process but worth it at the end. The recruiting process is also stressful on recruiters and they want the girls whi are the best fit also. The process works.
