Is it a lot harder to get a bid when you're from out of state?

Not really, it's just harder to fit in once you do receive a bid.

@nope means that it'd be harder to fit in because you know so few people. A lot of top houses have in state kids or kids from southern states who went to private schools. A lot of them know each other and can be cliquey. I know this from experience within my own house. And yes to answer your question, it is harder to get a bid when out of state. You need connections

It is not hard to get a bid. If you have above a 3.0 you will get a bid. Will it be from a top tier or bottom tier? Who knows?

Yes. You really need to network if you want a top house, but if you do that you'll be one of maybe five from your whole state out of a few hundred. It just depends on what you want and how much tiers matter to you. I'm from pretty far away and I love my middle-tier sorority more than anything. The girls understand what it's like being far from home and I've even met a few who live fairly close to me.

If you're a girl I would suggest thinking about KKG, Phi Mu, AOPi, or Pi Phi. For a guy, Pike, ATO, or Phi Psi would probably be your best bet. If you really want to go for the top tier houses, look into going to jumpstart this summer. It's a good chance to meet older people while you're still allowed to talk to them.
