^ They’re not that hard if you make the guys like you. I’m not a huge partier (not to say I never do it),I’m really shy and I’m hardly the “bro” type but I still got bids from Sig Ep and Theta Chi, even after I thought I made a bad impression on them. Sig Ep will give you a bid if you’re mature and are willing to live in. Theta Chi is evidentally easy as I got a bid on my first ever visit there. DU and SNU aren’t as cutthroat either, however SNU’s pledgeship is really bad. (my roommate pledged SNU and the fall pledge class wasn’t done until march)

I chose not to go greek in the end, but based off word of mouth, Eliza’s analysis of the “tiers” looks accurate. Generally the further up you go on the list, the harder the houses are go get into and the more emphasis on drinking there’ll be on pledges and during rush. But don’t be one of the guys who picks a house for it’s tier. Pick it because you like it. And even if you get bids and you still don’t feel like you fit into any of the houses you got bids from, don’t feel like you have to go greek.
