Anything above a 3.0 is where you want to be.

Under a 3 is going to hurt you.

I think most houses minimum is 2.75. I know my house drops girls who dont at least have that minimum gpa on the first drop.

pretty important. if you are a freshman and dont have a 3.0 from high school there is a very high chance you wont get into the house you want. dont get your hopes up

Just how the hell do you people who couldn't even manage to get a 3.0 in high school think you'll manage not to flunk out of college first year?

If you really want to be in a sorority, you need to be open to joining a "bottom" house. If you're only rushing because you want a top house, you might as well drop out now. You absolutely NEED to go in with an open mind if you have a bad gpa. Well technically everyone should go in with an open mind, but its much more important for girls with lower grades.

Just don't be surprised when all the "good" houses drop you. Remember that even the lower tier houses have something to offer as well. There are pretty, fun girls in every single house. And if they sucked as much as everyone on greek rank says, no one would be in them.

Just my 2 cents. I was an RC last year and saw way too many girls drop out of recruitment because they "only got bad houses" and it really saddened me. They would have been lucky to join those houses.

This is so true! And my story is actually similar to the one above. I ended up joining a "good" house and I'm quite happy with where I ended up, but because I completely shut out the idea of joining those bottom houses, I always wonder now what it would be like if I ended up in one of them. During rush, its so easy to get caught up in wanting to join a top house. Lets face it, Alpha Phi puts on a much better rush than Tri delt. (I'm not in APhi just saying) But that doesn't mean they're better. There's so much more to sorority life than being swooned by a house during rush.

I'm going to say something that I would never say in real life, but I hear girls in houses like tri delt/adpi/chio talk about how much they love their sorority WAY MORE than girls in my house do. I still love my sorority with all my heart, but part of me wonders what I'm missing out on. I'm only saying this because PNMs should know that as long as you're rushing because you want a sisterhood, you will find that in ANY house as long as you have the right attitude.

I'm in a "top house" with great sisterhood and we all get along. Lots of people like to hate on my house on this website and it makes me sad because I know how much it means to me and how amazing all of my sisters are. I love it and wouldn't pick any other house. There are girls in every house at UA who feel the same. Stop shaming top houses and stop shaming bottom houses. Every house at UA has something to offer and you shouldn't worry about the tier of the house but worry about the feeling in your heart as you go through. Follow your gut and your natural instinct. Don't try to go for the house that you'll feel like you have to try to fit in. Go with the house you know you'll have the easiest time fitting in. It's easy to see through the BS. Some houses are really good at being fake during rush and anyone can see that. Some girls like that and it's where they are happy so they go that route. Just be honest with yourself. Being in a sorority and going through rush is about YOU. Nobody else.

I agree however I feel like with houses such as theta, adpi and chio, the girls really seem to love their house more than anything. Now I'm not saying other houses do not have girls like that too, however I go to lunch at adpi and chio a lot and I sometimes wish my house had the same sisterhood that they have. Everyone is so friendly and laid back which is nice for a change. Unfortunately in my house I do not even know half of my PC because people all try to stay in cliques. I love my house but I wish my house did not focus so much on looks and focused on sisterhood instead.

I agree about theta, two girls in my hall were in theta and they were completely terrified to go to the house even for lunch without the other one because they didn't know anyone and the older girls were mean. I know two girls don't account for the entire sorority but I think that does say a lot.

Like they said........let's STOP naming houses with good/bad sisterhood. I am in one of the other top three houses and I adore it and my sisters. There is not one sorority that has 100% everyone gets along. That is impossible with hundreds of girls. That doesn't mean there is drama all the time and people hate each other though. The fact that guys are even commenting on this and getting involved in which house has the best sisterhood is LAME and it's probably not even really frat guys just girls trying to make their house look the best. Every house has great girls and every house has sisterhood. I for one have heard a Pi Phi talk about how she feels like she isn't close to anyone in her PC and how everyone is really cliquey. These few girls tell someone outside of their house how they feel and that's how the no sisterhood rumors start. That's why you have to join the house you fit in and make and effort or else you'll end up feeling this way. Every house has a few girls like this though and every house has girls who wouldn't want to be in anything else. It's all about the effort you make and if you follow your gut. Nobody really knows what their house is like unless they are in it.... so shutttttup because everyone is going to be biased and there wouldn't be girls in any of the houses if they had bad sisterhood and the majority girls werent happy

"agreed" youre dumb a lot of girls in a lot of houses get intimidated to go to lunch by themselves. It is intimidating, the older girls always seem so much prettier and they have been in college for at least a year already and in the sorority and have already established themselves. I know girls in every. single. house. who have felt like that. In my house ( not theta ) they encouraged us to come to the house for lunch everyday even if we felt nervous because that's normal and it's a good way to get to know everyone because they knew girls would be intimidated.

@@@@@@ it's one thing to be nervous the first couple weeks when you are trying to get to know everyone still, but a year later it is not normal to be like that. And it is absolutely ridiculous that you think it is "normal" to be afraid to go into you own sorority house.
