IU "tier" talk
Hi Ladies,
Newbie Here, Newbie Here! My question has probably been answered here before but I can't seem to find it when I search. Perhaps I'm not doing it right.
My daughter will be a freshman at IU in the fall and is interested in going through rush so I have been doing a little research so we can figure out how things work. So I have read various things online about IU recruitment and I think I have figured out enough to know that, in a nutshell, one should ignore the "tier" talk, put your best foot forward to all the chapters, try to figure out which houses you would feel most comfortable, maximize your options and hope that you are one of the few to get a bid. Know up front that it will be tough especially since she is not a legacy and only knows 1 girl in a house currently. So I passed what I learned on to DD. Her question was.....what is "tier"? And I guess I really don't know. She says she and I are "dumb and dumber" which is probably not too far off base.
I guess this "tier" thing applies to any university, but maybe it differs from school to school? Does it refer strictly to popularity, i.e., appearances, money, or some other superficial thing? Or does it mean something completely different, i.e., most leadership positions on campus, longevity of the chapter, or something like that?
Thank you in advance for any light you might shed on the issue.
