Can someone familiar with UNL recruitment answer this?

I am not familiar with UNL rush, but their website says that the girls fill out an application which is the way that the chapters decide which girls to invite to the 8-party round. It's in the Q&A section of the webpage.

Even though I got my first choice, there were at least 5 or 6 where I would've been happy and were full of people who are still good friends! In fact, I didn't have a single Kappa as a bridesmaid, but I did have one AOPi and one Theta. And I definitely could've been happy in any of the three I went to for Pref. Once you get involved in campus activities and once rush is over and you see where things shake out on your dorm floor, you will have friends in many different houses and you may find that your best college friends in the end aren't even in your own sorority (although you love them, too!)

Good luck and we'll be waiting to hear how you find your home!

I am always so pleased to hear of a Big Eight rush story. The schools of the old big eight conference have very old and established greek systems with beautiful, gracious houses. These schools, like Nebraska, often have many strong chapters rather than one or two "top tier" groups and then "everyone else".

FutureGreek, best of luck, you will have a wonderful time. My parents moved to Nebraska while I was in school at a different Big Eight school. One year, about 40 of our sisters from Lincoln came down for a game. Even though you guys cleaned our clocks, we had a terrific time.

Have fun and let us know how it all turns out. We are rooting for you to find a great home!

Wow, I was just browsing some chapter web sites of the Nebraska sororities while waiting for Project Runway to start, and saw this on Gamma Phi's Pi chapter site---

You have to have a 3.5 out of high school to be considered. Their overall house GPA was 3.615 for Spring Semester 2009 and 23 members achieved a 4.0 GPA that semester. That's very impressive! It said they had won national awards for scholarship, among other things. I guess so....(They looked really cute too.)

Yep they have a very high GPA required.....doesn't seem to hurt them in recruitment though.

Evidently not! Browsing the website, they look like a terrific chapter. Very active and very cute! Obviously, very smart as well.

I hope that FutureGreek? can come back and share good news with us.
