PNM ADVICE THREAD
by: 😁Sorority actives, let’s post some advice for PNM’s. Anything you think they should know or things you wish you knew before going through recruitment
Comment#3 by: letters
Wearing certain letters will not make you magically become whatever you think those letters represent. After you join a sorority, you are still going to be judged by everyone you meet based on how you act and treat others. Your letters won't influence anyone in real life; it's still all up to you. Be decent and kind to everyone, keep up your grades, and understand that people will only care about you as an individual, not that you are an XYZ member.

Keep all of your conversations as positive as possible!
Don't talk about how much your feet hurt, how tired you are, how hot it is outside, how you're annoyed it randomly started raining between parties or anything like that. You will not leave a good impression speaking that way.
In my house while voting girls will say this as a "con" against you and your name will be bumped down the list. At least this is what happens in my house so I can't imagine others are very different.

Yeah, also don't say how nervous you are either. We hear all that stuff so much it's predictable and annoying. This is not the time and place to confess or vent or look for reassurance. We won't say anything like that to you because it's completely irrelevant to why we are all there; we have a limited time to make an impression on each other, so put your discomfort on the back burner when you are at a house and be prepared to discuss the good stuff. Although, I will say that if you have a relevant, brief, funny comment that shows a sense of humor and fun, and you are confident with it, you can use that to your advantage. I love a girl who can laugh at herself and a bad situation and make me relate.

^^ totally agree.
Keep that in mind if you want to get rid of houses you don’t click with. Thtas the nice way to tell them that you don’t want to be there on bid day.

Getting yourself purposely cut from houses you don't want has zero effect on the houses you do want asking you back. That's what your own rankings of the houses are for. Each sorority decides if they want to ask you back, and if you are lucky enough to have a choice in where you return, the algorithm will use your rankings to give you as close to what you want as possible, within what's available to you. To actively try to 'get rid of houses' gives you a much better chance of being shut out of sorority membership.

Remember to focus on yourself, it can be hard because you're meeting all of these new people and everyone has different opinions. I always pictured the perfect rush with the friends I met in the beginning of rush and I all running home to the same house. But for me that didn't happen. Two girls I was closest with that week were obsessed with the same house house. I didn't get invited back to that house after philanthropy round. They ended up in that house and I went another. I was sad that I didn't have that like fairy tale rush where we would end up together and become best friends. But now I am glad this happened and love my chapter and sisters.
