i don’t think it matters bc I am trying to pref based off of who i get along with best, not ranks. the issue is i Loved them all so much so i don’t know how to choose two

I get ya. I’m not trying to rank them for you. When I went through I litterally couldn’t decide on a house And begged my rho gam to tell me about the houses but she wouldn’t and I didn’t know this site existed so I randomly picked one at the computer and I always wondered if I would’ve picked the other had I known generally what the houses were like. So I was just gunna give you some insider advice on the houses. Rush is important, but it’s deceiving. I hate the idea of basing four years of your life off a total of maybe and hour of conversation.

Keep in mind more cuts will be coming so it’s really too soon to obsess

talk to the people closest to you - best friend, mom, etc - about how you feel about each one and have them see which ones you REALLY like talking about. dont play TOO much into this, but see what girls you know are in the sororities you have left- do you share values and could you see friendships growing with girls similar to them?

No. Talk to girls that know what the sororities are actually like here at A&M. Go somewhere you know has your values. Not somewhere you had a good five minute convo.

Do you feel more “yourself” with some of the chapters more than others? When I look back on my rush, I remember absolutely loving some houses but later realizing that I wasn’t being my true self with them. I felt like I needed to be extra “on” during their parties and then the house I picked I felt at home with and like I had known the girls forever.

Do you feel more connected to some philanthropies more than others? (If volunteer work is truly important to you).

I truly believe PNM’s land where they are meant to be so don’t agonize and over analyze your choices. The sororities are doing the picking on their ends too and it will all work out.

What do you value? How do your values align with the philanthropies of each of the four? Are some groups more "hands on" with their philanthropies and others more fundraisers? Which do you prefer?

The reality is you will find girls to connect with in any chapter. With 300 girls, there will be people you like. Social aspect is a little weird right now. there won't be big events this fall and who knows what will happen in the spring.

Make a list of what you love about each one. Look at their national presence. Drive down greek row. Which house do you want to live in next year? Write down everything and hopefully it will either give you clarity or help you know that any choice is a great choice.
