Is it common to not get a bid during rush?

It happens. Even though Panhellenic tries very hard to get a house match for every girl, sometimes a PNM does not receive a bid. This is truly a very, very rare occurrence. But sometimes, a PNM does not receive a bid at the end of sorority recruitment.

Is it possible to not get a bid from a sorority?

A suicide bid (aka single preference vote) is when a PNM chooses to put down only one sorority after the preference round of recruitment. This means if you don’t get a bid from that house, you will be cut from the entire process.

How do sororities decide who gets a bid?

This matching process is called mutual selection. Mutual selection starts with Panhellenic looking at your voting and the scores the sororities gave each potential new member. If you vote to keep the sorority AND you are on the top of the sorority’s list, you will be invited back.

Are you guaranteed a bid?

You are guaranteed a bid– The odds are in your favor. You are maximizing your chances to receive a bid. You like both or all of the sororities, and you will accept a bid to either of the sororities. Most potential new members will receive a bid to their #1 sorority.

Why do sororities drop you?

While you’re likely to do more partying and community service with your sorority sisters than taking tests, academics are still an important part of the Greek life. The New York Times reported that one of the most common reasons that sororities drop a pledge is poor grades.

How do you tell a sorority you’re interested?

Discreetly ask the women you know (family, church members, teachers, coaches, etc.) if they are sorority alumnae, and if they are, tell them that you are interested in going through recruitment at your school and ask for any help or advice they can provide.

What are the rounds of rush?

Generally, most sororities do recruitment in four rounds: open house, house tours, skit/philanthropy, and preference. Some sororities may only have three if the sorority doesn’t have a house.

Do sororities check social media?

Sororities DO look at your social media accounts prior to recruitment to gain a little more insight into your personality and to make sure that what you are posting aligns with their values. However, it’s NOT about how many followers you have or your popularity online.
