recruitment experience

Everyone who went through recruitment will have their own stories to tell. I'm OOS, so I came to campus without a preference, of course by the time recruitment came around I was convinced like everyone else I would want KD, DDD or Chi-O. But I also knew I didn't have a chance with any those three. During recruitment I discovered DDD or Chi-O weren't my favorites, not that they cared, but I wasn't impressed enough to feel bad that I didn't get a second chance with either of those. Of the three I liked KD and made it through two rounds. I didn't really look at my other options as second choices, just different choices. I probably had an advantage in not coming to campus with my mind already set, so I enjoyed the rounds. I felt very fortunate to be chosen by what is considered a middle tier and I am still happy they chose me. I guess I am suppose to feel bad or something that I ended up in a middle tier but my sisters are amazing and smart. The tier worship thing seems high schoolish but it also seems important to a lot of people. Each to her own.

I'm in a bottom tier house. i went into recruitment think i knew what I watned. I was surprised at what I liked and didn't like and I was even more surprised by cuts, houses I thought went well cut me and others I felt weren't great stayed, things like that. I will be honest it didn't feel like my opinion matter much at all lol. At pref I was at a mid tier and bottom tier house. Going into pref I really thought I would go with the mid-tier house because it was the "better" of the two. But during pref I really realized that I wanted the house i'm in now. I ranked my "bottom tier" house first and it's the exact right place for me and I love it here. I can't imagine being in a better house and as far as i'm concerned it's the best on campus. Tiers are ridiculous. I'll also say that bottom houses do cut i was cut from a bottom house first round so, like the other poster said everybody has a different experience. they just don't cut as much as others and because the others make such big cuts it just sort of feels like bottom isn't making any. but they definitely do.

I always love when people start their post with "I don't mean to hate on any houses" which means that's exact what they are planning to do. But in regards to which houses had to 'cut' the most: With variable quota all the houses had to make some serious cuts. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. of them. Chi-O,DDD, and KD had a quota of 100 so their cuts were a little rougher than the others. However, AOPi, DG, Pi Phi and Phi MU only had a quota of 110/111 each so their cuts were also especially rough this year. Kappa and Theta had a little more recruitment room with quotas of around 135. Alpha Phi was allowed a larger quota of 160 to help them catch up to everyone else. Every sorority had to make some tough decisions. No one can come on this site and state how each sorority made their decisions or how each one handled their cuts or when they made those cuts.

APhi makes cuts you just must've been pretty
