New PNM coming in the fall! How am I supposed to choose a house? What do I look for? Do I base it all off of conversations I have? Their philanthropy? How did you choose your house?? THANKS!! xo

You'll just know. Stop trying to figure it out before rush happens.

Also, you're a PNM. You don't choose. The houses choose you. You have VERY little say in which houses you go back to unless you're one of the top 2% PNMs that every house wants.

I know we call it a mutual selection process, but it really comes down to the chapters choices. Not the PNMs.

You don't choose. I went into recruitment thinking I'd spot a house that I loved and that house would spot me and it would be a match made in heaven and I ended up getting a bid from a house I tried to drop set two. Just be yourself. Don't overthink recruitment.

Have you read this feed? An advice from here will land you in the wrong house. Most of these posts are from people hating and self ranking!

@For real, it seems you made a slip of your typing fingers as you are not posting in the right thread. Neither of the posts above yours is self-ranking nor hating.

The OP sincerely needs to know she has no control beyond her personal actions as to whether a house will invite her back, and she will have to graciously make the best of any party invites she receives.

Truly, OP, the who/what/when/where/why/and how of your choosing the best home for you during recruitment can only be handled by you alone. Any advice we give might be ignored/dismissed by you. We do not know you. We will not be with you during recruitment.

How I chose my house may not be how you decide to choose. I can tell you one of my pref homes had women of intelligence, appeal, and graciousness beyond words but remained a house where even after three parties I had not grown closer via conversation or feelings of affinity to any of their members.

You will throughout your life devote some time and talent toward any sorority's philanthropy, thus if you so desire choose your house partly based on their philanthropic charity.

Your actions will speak volumes to sorority women, so be the friend you want them to be.

You don't choose. The sororities choose and you end up where we decide you belong. So relax because you have no control of the process.

Exactly. The only PNMs who actually have control are the top PNMs who all the houses are trying to snag. But they are such a small minority. Probably less than 100 pnms per year.

@yes could you give an example of what those pnms have that others don't?

Those pnms are trendy, attractive, academically inclined and involved. They are the whole package that a sorority is looking for and most of the time these pnms are also quite nice and down to earth.

Plus they usually know girls in the houses already.

choose the houses you feel comfortable in where there aren't awkward conversations or pauses and you feel like you're talking to a friend. even if you don't have much say, you still have to rank houses
