Choosing the right house!!!!

i understand that every chapter has different types of women. thats why i want to go greek! it would be sooo boring to be in a house full of women exactly like me. variety is the spice of life, right?
again, im just worried i wont be able to tell who i click with. i read the recruitment stories and keep seeing girls over and over who dont like a house because of one sister they had an awkward convo with, or fall in love with a house because of one sister they had an amazing convo with. what if i have an awkward convo at the house that is perfect for me, and end up cutting them (yes they could cut me too, people get cut yada yada yada...bear with me for the sake of the example!) or have an amazing convo with a woman at a house thats completely wrong for me and end up choosing the wrong place? yes i could rush again but i know that would look bad, even if its technically allowed. i want to find my home, but im worried it wont be the right one.

please stop giving me crap over this. i looked all over the forum and never found anything that talks about htis exact question so im asking for help. i didnt know that was so bad..........

you will be able to tell. have you ever met a person and within a few minutes you felt as if you had known them all your life? you had so much in common with them and the conversation flowed so effortlessly? or you learn about the sorority's philanthropy and immediately your mind begins to whirl 90 to nothing with ideas for fundraisers. you feel comfortable and at home and you can be yourself. these are all things that could happen to let you know that you might have found your home. some girls will know where they belong after the first set of parties, while other girls will spend several hours fretting over which order to place their preferences on the last day.

just know that you will not be friends with everyone in the house, just as you will not be friends with everyone on your dorm floor. you will find your niche within the chapter but it will take time.

What exact question? You want us to tell you where you should end up? You've gotten great advice from FSUZeta and xomanadaxo above. We don't know you, don't know what school you're going to, and don't know the sororities there. So, stop worrying about the "what ifs". You don't even know where you're going to school yet. Get into college, figure out the vibe there and what each group has to offer, and if you have any other questions AFTER that, come back. But otherwise, you're just using up bandwidth with nonsense and vague questions that we honestly can't help you with much more than other posters already have.

Even if the people of GC believed in the tier system, you have to remember one thing. People could list the sororities top to bottom at College A, and it would be true this year. Then they could list the sororities top to bottom at College B, and that would be true for this year. etc, etc.

The bottom line is, you never really know which sorority is going to be most respected from year to year, and at which school. So, the whole hypothosis of this thread is doomed from the beginning - which is why so many people are having fun at your expense.

When you register for recruitment, you and the sororities will get the opportunity to both decide which would be the right home for you.
