recs

Yes, that is your choice. The sororities will not know if you do or do not have recs to the others.

To So: No, you will want to get 1 to 2 recs per house. You have no idea what you're going to think once you're into rush, nor do you know how it will go. I would go into rush open-minded and part of that is to have recs for every house. It is a simply first cut (along with GPA) for houses. Other girls will have them. I know it's annoying, but I'm trying to be honest so you have the best chance for a happy outcome. Best wishes.

Why would you play it so risky and not get a recommendation for each house? Just because you want one house and get a rec for it doesn't mean you are going to get that house. This is not a sign up sheet, the house pick and choose the girls they want. If you don't have a rec for a house you are one step closer to getting cut from that house.

@answer...thank you for your post. I said in another post that I was not going to waste everyone's time by getting a rec to each and every house. I got roasted for making that comment.

I grew up in Jackson and am very well connected and have a good resume. Yes, it is possible that I may not get in one of the 3 or 4 houses that I am interested in. If so...that's ok. I was totally honest in saying that I was not going to waste an alumns time to write a rec for me and have a sorority receive a rec on me on a house that I would not be interested in.

The replys came back and said I was acting entitled, they hope I got cut because of my attitude. My intent was to be honest and focus on the houses I was interested and and not be fake about those I'm not. If I get cut out completely, I can deal with it. I know it is not the end of the world.

I get it. I'm an OOS and in what would be considered middle tier and very happy with how recruitment went for me, however I wasn't pressure in any way to want a certain sorority. Personally I don't disagree with your logic, although I don't necessarily agree with limiting yourself. I saw in your previous post your resume is excellent and I honestly hope recruitment goes exactly the way you want it - as I would wish the same for everyone going through recruitment.

I think she get's it. It's her decision, she'll live with the outcome.

I have not continued to ask the question but I have responded to comments about what I have said.

I have been given good advice particularly from "answer" and "get recs for all" and "connections" but I have also been called names like; entitled and told "happy to cut you". So no I'm not asking the same question over and over.

I know several girls who have run all over town getting recs for houses that they would not take even if it were the only one remaining on their rush card. I'm sorry that seems dishonest and a waste of people's time to me.

I also know girls that are getting 10 or more recs for THE house that they truly want to be in. I really don't think that is necessary, do you???

No, I'm not going to come on here and "brag" about the great rush I had (or possibly complain about a bad experience). I already said that I was going to be gracious in the rush process.

Also the comment below talking about tri delt bid is not me. They have used my same name but that is not my comment. No one has promised me a bid.

Are the Moms ever going to let this thread die?

You absolutely have nothing to worry about.....aren't you special!

I’m sorry, but if she went through last year she has no clue how brutal bid sessions can be. No one is ever safe, and people lie. You maybe her top rushee, but there are several hundred girls in the house who also have their favorite.

If you don't like it don't read the thread!

No need to tell everyone what to do...geeezzzz

You can't stop the Moms! This is the kind of thread they live for! It gives them fuel for just the right amount of self righteous indignation! Plus they get to use some of their ancient expressions! So carry on.

It's pretty obvious that person talking about getting a tri delt bid is trolling to stir the pot....that didn't happen.

I'm pretty sure Tri-Delt has enough sense to know this is just a troll trying to add a little excitement to a thread the Moms are enjoying way too much.
