How much pull does a legacy have at an SEC school?

[carnation]

A good sorority?

I guess good wasn't a way to describe it, I just mean like reputable! Just a sorority in general honestly.

Do I have a chance to get into a good sorority?? Everything is so new to me and any advice would be greatly appreciated

Nope, you didn't help yourself here.

If you're that worried about getting into a sorority, you should be happy with any bid. They're all good sororities.

Where is that quote that was recently posted here? Someone put it in their signature... Something about a golden ticket?

Anyway.. go in with an open mind and work on the things that you CAN control (conversation, outfits, etc.). You're not a legacy and you don't know many sisters in the chapters. Oh well. It is what it is.

Everyone has a chance to get a bid.

There is NO sorority at A&M that is not "reputable".

Each sorority has their own policies about legacies. It doesn't apply to you, so it is immaterial.

Are you prepared? Do you have all of your recommendations done & submitted? Rush at any SEC school is not something to go into lightly, without preparation.

The quote that AZTheta put into her signature from Robinseggblue is perfect here....

Basically my main piece of advice is: if you are lucky enough to get a bid to ANY chapter, that is your golden ticket and you should take it and run with it. -robinseggblue

EVERYTHING that thetalady said. Everything. Period. Take it to heart. And for me, robinseggblue nailed it; which is why I took it as my signature. As an alumna, I can say with assurance that she is correct. I have countless friends who are NPC alumnae. Two of my closest friends are Pi Phi and Tri Delta alumnae. We speak the same language regardless of the letters we wear.

"Everyone has a chance to get a bid" - true. Come with the caveat that if you are pulling a train with the entire football team, you sorta shot your own chances right out of the sky. Dig?

oh and ps, for the OP - first rule of holes: when you find yourself in one, stop digging!

Honestly, no need to jump on the poor girl. I think she means she wants to be sure she doesn't end up in an underground sorority or one that hazes, as those two things are all over movies and tv.
