<p>Hi guys I was just wondering if anyone could explain the entire rush process? From what I've read it goes:</p>
<p>Mixers
Second Sets
Third Sets
Preference Parties
Bid Days</p>
<p>Now are we invited to each of these rounds or do we just go? By when have the sororities actually made their decision?
Is it possible for more than one sorority to want you, and if so then do you declare your decision by going to the bid day of the sorority you want? </p>
<p>I'd love to get in touch with any girl who has been through the process. Also, looking at the websites of the top tier sororities I see a surprising lack of diversity ( I saw literally only one black woman in the three sororities I'm interested in) does this mean I'm at a disadvantage because I'm black, or do minorities in general choose not to rush? </p>
<p>How many girls on average get chosen for each sorority? How many on average rush?
Is the process like an interview, or do the girls just choose who they want? What do they base their decisions on? Do you have any tips for the whole process? </p>
<p>I heard that looks play a lot into whether or not you're chosen. Now I'm not God's gift to this planet, but I'd say I'm pretty (haha hopefully anyway). Do you need be a super model/beauty pageant winner to get chosen?</p>
<p>Also when reading through these threads the top sororities seem to have a bad reputation. Can anyone tell me why that is- I mean, is it just rumors or have you personally witnessed catty behavior. Honestly the whole idea of being in a sorority, a family, sounds so much fun. I doubt they actually hate each other. Lol they look like nice people in their pictures online.</p>
<p>Finally, can anyone tell me how being in a sorority impacts your academics? If I choose to attend Michigan (got my acceptance about 2 weeks ago) I'll be going into Neuroscience on a premed track. I take my education seriously (everyone on here does I'm sure) so could anyone with experience being in a sorority/ have an idea what it's like tell me how you balance your academics and sorority life? Is it hard? I'm applying to the LSA Honors Program and hopefully I'll get in. Can you be in the honors program and a sorority? </p>
<p>I know I'm assuming a lot in this- for all I know I won't get accepted into any sorority (the .0000001% diversity thing is making me worried), but I'd like to know just in case. </p>
<p>Thanks so much guys for reading what is practically an essay. I honestly appreciate any answers you have, even if you don't have an answer to every question I asked. </p>
<p>Oh the sororities I'm looking at, not in any particular order, are:
1. Alpha Phi
2. Kappa Kappa Gamma
3. Delta Delta Delta (Tri Delta)
4. Kappa Alpha Theta
5.Alpha Chi Omega</p>
<p>Also how many sororities are you allowed to rush? How many do you recommend? </p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
