Kansas recruitment

Yes, TLJ, please keep us posted! Your stats are good and it seems like the only thing working against you is your age. That will probably get you cut at some top houses, but other houses might be more receptive.

Honestly, I would be pretty pleased to have someone who has demonstrated academic success at the COLLEGE level. So many PNMS come through with a 4.0 from high school, accept their bids, and promptly fail their classes.

So are you saying she doesn't stand a chance at the "Top Tier" sororities?

That's kind of what I'm saying... If she's a junior, she's probably only going to be around for two years and thus will only be paying dues and house fees for two years. Compared to a freshman PNM with the same stats and the same like-ability, many chapters would take the freshman to help their bottom line.

Of course, I don't know for sure what could happen. I could be wrong. And I do think TLJ can have a successful recruitment, but her upperclassman status puts her at a disadvantage on a campus like KSU.

At KU (and I assume at KSU, because they are similar), a "top tier" house is only a little bit stronger than a second or even third tier house. It's generally the difference between a 3.4 gpa and a 3.2, first place in intramurals and second place.

And with PNMs, the most desirably houses often earn that honor in silly ways: the catchiest songs, the coolest symbols, the cutest outfits or the nicest house.

Sorry, I kinda hijacked the thread.
