How difficult is it to receive a bid from a house such as Kappa? I know to go into rush with an open mind but I know generally it’s just one of the top houses so it would give me a good sense of how exclusive all the top sororities are. Thanks!
It’s impossible to say how hard it will be to get an invitation to any one house. You have to take the number in recruitment and divided by the number of houses gives you a rough estimate), but you also need to know how many legacies the house has and a few other things like if they want sophomores and juniors.
But there will be a place for you if you give the houses a chance too. It wouldn’t be fair for the houses to only want girls named Heather and it isn’t fair for you to only wanted houses named Kappa.
Here’s some perspective: over 1200 girls rush each fall. Houses that meet quota will typically have PCs of 80-90 girls. It is hard to get a bid in a quote on quote “top” house. But what makes you think you will fit in best there? The cliche suggestion is to go into rush open minded and not have preconceived notions because if you only pref by how high a house is but they don’t mutually rank you that high you could end up like the many girls without a bid. Best of luck and feel free to DM me if you have any questions.
