[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who never participated in Greek Life (my college did not have sororities/fraternities) I am curious how students choose which ones to rush or how it works in general.  Let's say a kid goes to school in the south and decides to rush for a fraternity, has no family who has ever done it and no idea which one is which, how does one select? Or do you rush and hope one selects you?  [/quote]Sororities need member dues to pay nationals and afford to keep their houses.  If your husband is rich, she doesn't even have to rush-she can get a snap bid where they stalk her until she joins.[/quote]

Your husband? [/quote]Sororities ask "What does your [b]daddy[/b] do?  Seemingly unimpressed with how successful one's mother is.  OP didn't ask about "[i]coveted[/i]" in which case one needs more than a rich daddies and other posters are right about SEC schools being competitive.  However, they are COMPLETE liars by saying I wasn't in a sorority and that I made up the term "snap bid".  At UVa there was a pretty blond who got callbacks from every sorority but rejected from all upon financial revelation.[/quote]

I went to U of Texas where rush is very cut throat.  Yes, “snap bid” was a thing but it was something lower tiered sororities did.  To get into one of the better sororities, you have to have graduated from one of the right high schools, gone to one of the right summer camps or otherwise have some strong connection.  Just having a rich dad does nothing for you.  Many, many girls have rich families.  And the decent sororities have no issue paying their national dues.  This isn’t even a consideration.[/quote]
