Housing?
 

I'm just curious after looking at the website for the UD greek system - how many of the sororities have houses? I only saw pictures for Alpha Phi, Alpha Xi Delta, and Sigma Kappa houses - and there is a huge difference in capacity (I think over 50 for Alpha Phi and only 13 for another). Do the other chapters have dorms/suites/ect? How do you do rush?

All of the houses except Alpha Epsilon Phi have a house. I'm pretty sure the Delta Gamma house is new, so I don't think its on their website.
Theta, ASA and Chi O all have houses on "sorority row" that house 15 girls. Sigma Kappa's house is pretty far off campus and I think only houses 8. AZD has a nice house also...I think it holds around 13 girls? Alpha Phi has an AMAZING house with a great location, a personal chef, etc. that houses 55 girls!
So yeah, that's a pretty major difference. We rush in Clayton Hall, which is just a bunch of conference rooms. Each sorority is set up in a different room.

Philanthropy Round
I’m now finished philanthropy round! I’m so excited recruitment is almost over (even though it has been a lot of fun) and I’m more than ready to meet my new sisters! Here were my impressions of the houses now:

Phoebe – during the past two rounds I haven’t liked this house all that much, but they impressed me tonight. They had a cute craft. I was happy that the girl that greeted me at the door was someone I had known before, and we went beyond small talk, which was good. I would accept a bid from this house, and I know I could be happy here. I wouldn’t be devastated if I had to go to pref at this house.

Mike – My absolute favorite house! I really, really did not want to get too attached, because I was honestly surprised I was not cut from this house last round…it’s one of the more competitive chapters. They had a really cute slideshow and the room was beautifully decorated. I didn’t really do the craft – I was too busy talking to the sister. We had really good conversations, because she was someone I talked to on the second day. The first sister I talked to wasn’t amazing, but she was nice and we found things to talk about. I would be ecstatic if I got to go back here for preference, but I’m trying not to get too worked up about it. I would obviously be happy to be a sister of Mike!

Joey – My last house for Philanthropy round was Joey. I was afraid I didn’t make a good impression because I wasn’t feeling that well. They had a very touching slideshow presentation and the craft was quick. The second girl I talked to was kind of an awkward conversationalist, but I really liked everyone else. I would like to go back here for pref!

At this point, I really was torn – I could see myself as a sister in any of these three houses!! I didn’t want to make the wrong decision, but everyone always says that it will work out like it’s supposed to!! I ended up ranking:


1) Mike
1) Joey
2) Phoebe

We meet tomorrow morning to get our invites back for preference and parties start at 12 (I think). Cross your fingers for me ladies!!

Wishing you all the best!

best of luck to you!

i'm really happy you enjoyed all of the houses and think you could fit in either one.

keep happy thoughts!

aww i cant wait to see where you find your home!! Im glad you like all three houses...lots of luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

MIKE AND JOEY! :-D

YAY!

Have fun @ Pref! Continued best wishes!!!

Glad to hear your open mind. I'm hoping you get invited back to all three.
The best to you!

Yay!!! Best of luck for an amazing Pref!!! :)

They do 2 pref parties and she got her top 2. :)

Good luck! What a great situation to be in, attending preference at two chapters you really like!

Sorry, I didn't go to UD, and don't recall that you could only be invited back to 2 at Pref.. She said she found out today who she was invited back to, and hasn't posted since.
At Pref, I was invited back to 5, but could only go to 3. I assumed she could be invited to all three but had to narrow it to 2.

Good luck with Mike & Joey!

Good Luck!!

I think in this recruitment the girls do their rankings first and then are matched to the ones who invited them back in the order of the PNMs preference.

So she'll never know for sure if she was invited back to all three.
