1. In NPC sororities how diverse would you say they are? And going through recruitment would being an African American put me at any disadvantage?
I can't really answer this, because we never had many minorities go through rush at my school. But we did have a few, and they all found homes.
This is one of those things that will depend on your school.
2.In your experience what happens to bidless rushees? In general are do these people have desirable personalities or not? What I'm asking is even if you are a good wholesome fun charismatic girl do you hold a good chance of not getting a bid? And about on average in your experience how many people didn't get a bid
Well, do those good, wholesome, fun, charismatic girls have a high enough GPA? Were they involved in a lot in high school? Do they have awesome personalities and communicate well? If your GPA is low, you aren't involved, and you're overly shy, those are things that may work against you. Sometimes bidless rushees will make themselves eligible for COB, sometimes they go through formal rush the next year, or informal rush the following semester. Sometimes they don't want to try again and they figure Greek life isn't for them, and sometimes they find other campus activities that keep them involved. It just depends on the person, and the groups in question. As for how many didn't get a bid, this always depends on the school, and if they guarantee a bid if you maximize your options.
3. Recs, how important are they. Namely at these 4 schools I'm looking at UCSB, UCF, UK, and OSU. Also how competitive is rush here?
Wow, those are all over the US! OSU... Ohio or Oklahoma? Check out the sticky in the Recruitment section under Sororities called "Schools where you absolutely positively need recs." UCF, I would say yes. UKentucky, a definite yes. I don't know about UCSB. Oklahoma State, yes. Ohio State, it would be nice to have.
4. In your experience how judmental, if judmental at all are sororities? One of my biggest fears is being judged before someone actually talks to me. (I'm not the best looking but I have a good personality)
Work with what you have! First impressions mean a lot. Make sure your hair looks great, your make-up is subtle but enhancing. Your clothes should fit your body well, but be stylish and appropriate for the day (and comfortable!). If someone judges you before getting to know you a bit, do you want to be her sister? I wouldn't!
5. What's bid day like?? What did you do for your bid day?
This depends on the school and the chapter, but to be generic, the day is filled with fun, getting to know new sisters and new pledge class members. Personally, we had a huge pizza party and spent the day playing ice breaker games and taking lots of pictures.
