Bottom feeder sorority
by: JKWhich sorority is bottom feeder and why? Why can’t some get a full pledge class
Comment#2 by: 🍤
Some houses can’t get full pledge classes for a few possible reasons:
1)they don’t have a house (TPA, ASA) and therefore PNMs become less interested in them
2)they have to “take who they can get” and that ends up creating a house with no personality where people don’t share interests or goals or traits, and they end up not being friends and having no sisterhood
3) with them having no overall personality, PNMs can’t relate to the house and don’t see themselves in there. They would rather drop out of recruitment than join that house
4) the rep. Being made fun of by frat boys for “being a bad house” makes them have “bad” pairs or no pairs, and this reputation does impact PNM’s decisions of giving that house a chance or not.
Conclusion: this creates a cycle where the house doesn’t have enough girls, therefore doesn’t have enough money to have a house, therefore can’t throw events or participate in a lot of greek life things, therefore has a bad rep, therefore can’t get enough girls. It’s hard to pull themselves out of that cycle without a lot of help, and in the end it’s very risky for PNMs to try and give it a shot when that means you can’t re-rush and join another house ever again in life

As someone who was in ASA, we had multiple opportunities to have a house on campus. When those opportunities presented themselves we brought it up with the whole chapter and all of us decided we did not want to have a house. It was way too expensive and that’s not what our chapter was about.
Everyone has different situations and if your family is willing to pay the $8000 in dues for rent alone, Good for you. But some people actually have to pay their own sorority dues and it’s not worth. The money and all the rules you have to follow from the University Are not worth the rent you have to pay to stay there

This post is clearly not referencing NPC sororities as you obviously don’t rush them. So although I get what you’re saying about AKA that’s not really relevant and I don’t think anyone would ever talk about an NPC sorority as a “bottom feeder”, they get a lot more respect and are above ranks and pairs that PHA sororities get

Sorry just saw you said ASA and not AKA lol but either way like that’s your choice to not have a house and not pay dues but it does come with the fact that it does make your chapter less desirable to PNMs and keeps you in that bottom tier with no way of coming up

I think the point was to say it offers women who might not have the ability to pay crazy dues a chance to be apart of Greek life.

NPC sororities don't 'take who they can get' when it comes to choosing members. Each group has their own set of purposes, policies and standards of membership.
NOT ONE GROUP desires a non-cohesive, 'no personality' chapter to exist.
If IU hasn't the type of women a particular group needs and/or desires, that group may choose not to pledge a large number of students. Also, if any group in existence on campus hasn't the type of chapter IU students feel is a complete 'fit' for them, students will simply not join that group.
Having money for a house,or even desiring housing, is something a national NPC group has to decide upon BEFORE presenting to a campus and then accepting an invitation to become a chapter. It's a possibility the IU groups having 'housing trouble' never wanted to be housed here in the first place, to be the group that made their mark as a viable chapter without the expense of being housed.
