Sorority Advice 2025
by: Srat
The best thing I ever did for myself during recruitment was to not listen to any gossip or negative talk. Remember the girls are competitive and are trying to get you to choose their chapter so take what they say with a grain of salt. Everyone has their own opinions. Think about what matters to YOU. Meet the girls and form your own opinions.
Many girls go into recruitment thinking they want to join a top tier chapter. I have friends in top, mid and lower chapters and I can tell you none of that matters. Yes there are differences but the reality is that the sororities here are more similar than they are different. It’s normal to go in with favorites, we all do. Just make sure you have an open mind and are realistic. Top tier chapters are very competitive and drop many girls early on. They also take a lot of friends of active girls. It’s disappointing to be cut but remember you want to be a part of a chapter that wants you.
There are beautiful and amazing girls in all the tiers. All have socials and fun events. Make sure you choose a sorority for the right reasons or you may end up where you don’t fit in. Some girls pick a top chapter and find their home. Some pick a top chapter for status and end up feeling out of place so they drop. Some choose a mid chapter over a top because genuinely connect with the girls. Some choose a base and love it. Be true to yourself and follow your heart. Go where you vibe.
The most important things to consider are personalities and sisterhood. Which sorority will embrace you? Which chapter will help you grow as a person and has members that you think will truly support you as a friend?
Don’t stress, trust the process. It’s a lot but you can relax and look forward to running home to your lifelong sisters.
Pan love.

Every pnm is good looking with good grades and good extracurriculars. You are in a different peer group in sorority recruitment and probably don't stand out like you think you do, that's the first thing to understand.
The second is that the recruitment process is not a signup sheet for pnm's, the sororities are doing the choosing. No matter how much a pnm wants or doesn't want certain houses, that's not a factor in their selection process; the sororities don't even see pnm's chapter ranks so they aren't a consideration. Most pnm's will not be invited back to one or more of their favorites and won't even have a full schedule, but they will be given as full of a schedule as possible from among the sororities that want to invite them back. Pnm's do not drop sororities, they only rank them. A pnm's chapter ranks only come into play if more sororities want to invite her back than she has room for on her schedule and so her lowest ones would drop off. THIS IS NOT COMMON AT ALL. Prepare for cuts.
With that said, understand that cuts are not personal, they are only part of a numbers game because each sorority is only allowed a certain number of pnm's back to each round. If you aren't high enough in their rankings to make whatever their cutoff number is, it is not because you have been judged as inferior or lacking somehow, and doesn't mean the girls you talked to wouldn't want to be friends with you. I promise you that discussions of pnm's are about trying to find the positive traits and not about fault finding. Sororities are trying to find who fits with their vibe best so it's about far more than your gpa and resume and the other things. And if you feel like you connected with the girls you talked to, then you did, even if you end up getting cut, and those actives will get upset when you don't return. But it's a chapter decision and they have to get over it and keep on rushing. So do you.
Finally, RANKS ARE STUPID, SUBJECTIVE, NOT REAL, ARE MISOGYNISTIC, AND DO NOT MATTER IN REAL LIFE ON CAMPUS. You will find top girls in every house and not so top as well. And no guy cares what letters a pretty, sweet, fun girl wears. Sororities are about sisterhood and a home away from home. TRUST YOUR GUT and don't worry about ranks or what other people are saying.

Don’t join for the guys cause there aren’t many in Greek life and we all date more non-Greek guys anyway! Join for the sisterhood that fits you the best!

If you’re going to college and your top priority is to party- put it out there!
If you’re going to college and your top priority is to focus on academics- put that out there!
You don’t want to land at a house that doesn’t match what you’re looking for and tbh we don’t want you to either! Don’t put on a show and say what you think we want to hear because you could land at a house that doesn’t fit your true vibe. NO ONE wants that. It’s a waste of a bid for us and you will end up dropping down the road.
And don’t join your mom’s chapter because you grew up thinking that’s what you should do. She doesn’t go here and chapters evolve. Join it if it fits you best but don’t do it for her.

Truth. So many girls say what they think they should and regret not being honest when they land at a chapter that has totally different priorities. Then when they drop they say “Greek life is awful” but it stems from them being dishonest during the recruitment process. Be real and you will land in the chapter where you will have the most in common with the other sisters.
Some chapters are better about recruiting girls that will be a good fit but other chapters don’t do this as well so you should help them along by being your authentic self. It’s better for you and doe the chapter if you’re just honest about what you’re looking for in a sisterhood.
