Guess my house based on my experiece
by: Me
Based on my experience as a new member, please guess my house:
1. Accepted a bid from my 3rd favorite house. Bid day was a huge relief to have the week over but also somewhat awkward because I didn’t know any of these new girls, some new members were so happy and others weren’t so happy. I didn’t think it was the best day or lost fun day.
2. Went to the new member retreat. Had a great time and met some cool girls but no instant bestie connections.
3. Started classes and went to the house for meals. Felt intimidated every time trying to find people I knew and a place to sit. Forced myself to continue going. Got into group chats and started coordinating meeting other new members at meals and walking to the house together. Still no clear bestie tribe.
4. Attend all the sisterhood events even the ones that seemed lame. Attend chapter. Put myself out there and meet new people. See cliques starting to form.
5. Buy outfits for swaps with new friends. Go to swaps. Meet boys. Go to frat tailgates and football games with sisters. Meet more boys. Still no bestie but a group of girls I can hang out with.
6. Fight for my life during homecoming week trying to get through midterms and meet my pomp quota. Spend all waking hours at the house. Meet so many new guy friends in our fraternity pairings. Meet more sisters. Bond with my new friends. My house becomes a home.
6. Attend fraternity date parties. Start dating a boy from our fraternity our pairing. Hang out at his house all the time. Drag my friends to his house and band parties.
7. Have a bestie group. Attend all the house events. Have fun with fraternity boyfriend and his friends. Live my life and never think about the ranks of any other houses or the social media of anyone outside my house. Be nice to other sorority girls in my classes and around campus. Stay friends with girls in other houses I met during recruitment and in the dorms.
What house am I in? Top? Bottom? OR? NR?
You can’t tell because this is what happens in every house.
Stop worrying about GR and ranks. It’s stupid and short term.

LOOOOVE this. My experience too. There’s this notion that you’re going to instantly be best friends with everyone and it’s not how it goes,you need to put in the work. And the best kept secret at Bama - there really is not a huge amount of difference between the houses. Al have hot girls, plain girls, smart girls, weird girls, sweet girls etc And you will find your people BUT you gotta work!

I also had a very similar experience! Adding to this - the first week of class I was surprised when a sophomore from another house invited me (and a few other ppl) over to study. By junior year, I realize this sort of thing is the norm, plus I still have my friends from my dorm freshman year. I think if someone were to see us in a group on campus they wouldn't be able to guess our houses.
