I'm not very knowledgeable on the whole process (or Greek life/culture really), but this site in particular has opened my eyes to a potential great experience- there's so much wisdom here about the entire process!
I made this thread in hopes of learning more specifically about GL and the sorority recruitment process at ASU. Does anyone have any general advice for me if I decide to rush there? I have so many random questions- it is really competitive there? Will being out of state hurt my chances? Are recs/legacy important? What is their rushing process like? If I apply for general housing but get into a sorority, where do I live? I checked out the ASU greek page, but there really isn't a lot of concrete information on there, so I appreciate anything anyone knows about it.
If anyone goes/has gone to ASU, I would love, love, LOVE to talk to you as well!
Hoping for some input!

I have intimate knowledge of the recruitment process at ASU. I personally don't think the recruitment process is that competitive compared to most campuses. Most women who keep an open mind during recruitment and don't have their sites set on 1 specific Chapter will usually get a bid. Being out of
state will not hurt you. Kids come from all over the country to go to ASU. There are some areas of the country that are represented more than others, but it is a good mix of students plus it is a HUGE communter school. Recs and legacies are not that important at ASU. A lot of women going through are not legacies.
Here is the way the process works: Recruitment starts Labor Day weekend. Friday night is open house round. Each party is 15 minutes long. You will go to all 12 Chapters that day. THis day is very casaul. It will be hot so dress comfortable. All Chapters will be wearing a Panhellenic t-shirt on this day. You will then be asked to rank the Chapters in order of your prefence. Day 2 is the first invitational round. You will receive invitations to the Chapters that have invited you back. This round is 30 minutes and most Chapters will talk about their Philanthropies on this day. You will again rank your Chapters in order of preference. Round 3 is 45 minutes long. This is a a little dressier this day. A slide show is typically shown during this day to showcase the Chapters both Nationally and what they are like at ASU. The last day is Preference. It is currently 2 parties maximum for you to go to, but there was a vote taken recently to change that so I'm not sure where they are at with that.
If you have applied for dorm housing you will have to stay in the dorms your first year. In the past they have let women switch to sorority housing, but that practice has stopped. Most Chapters do have a live in policy of 1 to 2 years.
