rush

I go to Southern but I have a cousin rushing at MSU this year and lots of friends in the sororities here. The houses that don't take girls with reps and not great grades are Chi O, KD, and DG. Phi Mu was known for taking the bombshells with okay grades and sometimes a rep risk or two, but I think they're cleaning up their image so I wouldn't bank on it. And DDD normally doesn't take hardcore party girls. All the ones I know are extremely down to earth and girl next door-ish. Keep your options open because if chapters know about your rep you'll face some hard cuts!

Between this site, TSM, and regular social media, all houses will be shifting to selecting girls that appear to have it together. If you have a bad reputation coming out of high school where you live with your parents, it's the assumption that that same girl will continue that type of behavior now that she has more freedom at college. While it sucks to assume things about girls, that happens all the time during recruitment. Houses have to pick what they think is best for them and cut girls. Same for PNMs picking houses based on a house tour and information they have picked up prior to their starting recruitment. It sucks and hopefully the way recruitment is done changes in the future. That aside, you can be different in college, and start showing that with recruitment. Show excitement to the houses, and try to make genuine connections if you enjoy the house. Even if it's not where you end up, you can meet New friends. Enjoy the week and don't dwell on the what ifs..
