recruitment advice

Recruitment is a week of mutual selection, but as a PNM, you will be doing less of the selecting. Many of you will be "released" (cut) by sororities you love and that you think love you.

At that point you have 2 options. First, you can drop out of recruitment and hope that next year you will be magically invited into the sorority of your dreams. That isn't going to happen. There's only a 1 in 1,000 chance that a house that released you as a freshman would ever want to keep you as a sophomore. Nothing your mom or the alumna president from your hometown can do will change things.

Second, you can look at the houses you do have invites to and realize that those are the houses that want YOU! You can push the reset button and look carefully at those houses and make your choice from among the ones that want you. Tier doesn't matter. Every nat'l sorority is high some places and low other places

The truth is that all houses have beauties, smart girls, party girls, heavy girls, pageant girls, engineering girls, dancers, blondes, tall girls, athletes, sweet girls, mean girls, and perfect girls. In every house, IF YOUR HEART IS WILLING, you will find your best friends and future bridesmaids.

Of course, you may find friends like that in the dorm or apartment, but that's more rare. And if you do drop out, you'll miss greek life in Alabama which is spectacular! Each house is actually respected and loved by the other houses. (The hatred you see here is largely manufactured by greekrank.)
