Sorority Party Rounds and Cuts …..the mystery is about to be solved! I almost named this article “What to do when you are cut from your favorite house”. But, we need to start at the beginning….what exactly ARE party rounds and when are cuts?
Party rounds , often called “rounds”, are parties during sorority recruitment that are scheduled times when you will visit houses on an invitation only basis. Typically, there will be one round of parties per day of recruitment. (At large universities, Round One and even Round Two may last two days because there are simply too many houses for PNMs to visit in one day.) Panhellenic and your university set the number of rounds during recruitment; rounds are not scheduled by the sorority chapters. The days are long, which is why you need to plan your Rush Tote well in advance!
Each round has a theme based on the regional location of your college. Open Houses, Ice Water Teas, Sisterhood Day, and Philanthropy Day are some of the more popular terms for party rounds. At the end of sorority recruitment, the very last day is universally know as Preference Round or “Prefs”.
Yes, you will need to pack several outfits just for recruitment! But, recruitment outfits don’t need to be fancy OR expensive. Check out How to Pack for Sorority Recruitment for tips AND to see precisely what Cee Cee packed for her sorority rush! I have to say, this hanger holds MANY cute tanks, strapless dresses, etc. to maximize tiny closet spaces. (affiliate)
Each and every Potential New Member (PNM) who registered for rush will be invited to Round One parties . After Round One, parties become invitation only based on the mutual selection process (more about this in a sec!). The morning of each subsequent round, rush counselors hand PNMs their party card for the day. The party card lists the houses the PNM has been invited back to that day. Tip : To maximize your options go to every party on your party card and be happy you are there! 
The deepest cuts during recruitment week happen after Round One, so let’s take a look at this round. (By the way, deep cuts are a term referencing the fact that chapters will cut a large number of girls after one round.)
Round One parties are literally open houses. The parties are short in duration, maybe 10-20 minutes depending on the size of your university’s recruitment class. The purpose of Round One, from a chapter’s perspective, is for each house is to finally put a face with a name. Chapters have seen your resume, rec and photos for months now and they are excited to meet you ! For PNMs, Open House rounds gain you entry to each and every sorority house participating in sorority recruitment. So, the purpose of Round One for PNMs is to get a glimpse of the sisterhood within each house. Make sure you brush up on Sorority Recruitment Conversation Tips before your first pary!

What to expect during Round One: You will have lots of fast introductions and very short conversations with the sisters. You can read about conversation tips for recruitment parties here . The day will be long, so make sure you have a refillable water bottle and energy bars. Enjoy the excitement of the door chants, songs and enthusiasm of the sisters.
RANKINGS BY THE PNM: At the end of Round One, PNMs are asked to rank houses in order of preference. ( Big hint : Maximize your options and only cut the number of houses you are required to….even if a house didn’t dazzle you, make sure you list them all!) This is why recruitment is called a mutually selective process ; PNMs have the opportunity to select houses they want the most as the week moves forward. Note: A PNM may cut a house, and that house could possibly reappear on the party card later in the week. However, if a chapter cuts a PNM, that house will not appear on her party card again. Legacies, this harsh reality is very true.
CUTS BY THE CHAPTERS:
The chapters will convene together after Round One and will rank PNMs.  There are two main factors that come into play for Round One cuts: GPA and Issues . I will decipher both of these for you. (Side note: If you are a a sorority legacy , now is a good time to read Why Sororities Cut Legacies .)
A “cut” means you are released from further parties at a specific house. Example: You were invited to Nu Gamma during Rounds 1 & 2. However, their name was not on your party card for Round 3. You have, in effect, been “cut” from their bid list and will not return to parties at their house.
When a PNM enters recruitment week, she should be prepared for Sorority Party Rounds and Cuts. If she understands this factor, she will manage her expectations and will be one step closer to maximizing her options!
Early cuts are really a favor to the PNM. She will not have false hopes of sisterhood at a house in which she does not the meet basic qualifications for membership. And, it helps the chapter release unqualified girls so they can focus on girls who do. If a chapter cuts a PNM, that house will not reappear on her party card later in the week.
Most PNMs who are cut after Round One are cut due to a lower GPA. Yep, that’s right. GPA. Sororities are scholarship and community service oriented, and GPA is the oftentimes the first qualifier for an invitation to Round Two .
Think about it this way: each chapter has a quota (set by Panhellenic) as to how many bids it can extended on Bid Day. The fastest way to select (or cut) girls is to see if they meet the minimum GPA requirements according to that chapter’s specifications. If a girl does not meet this minimum, it is a quick cut. Just know that GPA is VERY important as you move through recruitment!
The University of Alabama posted their 2015 Recruitment Profile stats on their Panhellenic website. It gives you an idea just how important GPA is in the recruitment process:
The next factor that might result in deep cuts after Round One are PNM’s with “issues”. Let’s define ISSUES for the purposes of sorority recruitment, shall we? An issue maybe something the PNM has done or said (intentional or otherwise) prior to or during recruitment that violates university rules, Panhellenic rules, or is a poor personal choice. A short list of examples might include the following:
The names of PNMs on the Round One early cut list during sorority party rounds are not surprising for chapters. They have reviewed your statistics and know your GPA. Furthermore, if a PNM violates a university or Panhellenic rule, they have most likely been notified. And, the early cut list really should not surprise PNMs, either. If a PNM is maximizing her options by managing expectations on the front end, there should not be true surprises after Round One. There may be disappointments later in the week for sure, but a PNM should know ahead of time where she stands on issues and GPA.

Sometimes, especially in the South, you will hear the rumor that “certain” houses know who they want before rush. Maybe so, but more likely, they know who they DON’T want simply based on a GPA risk or issues.
And, it’s super easy to find a copy of your college’s Panhellenic rules on your university’s website. Here is a sample from the University of Arkansas if you want to take a peek!
The first is the GPA minimum set by Panhellenic. This GPA requirement is one that a girl must have in order to register for recruitment with the university. The second GPA minimum may be one that is chapter specific. Panhellenic may set the registration GPA at 2.75, but a house may have their own GPA qualification set at 3.4.
Know where you stand on both counts and be realistic. A PNM can still carry a house even if her GPA is a little lower than the house minimum, but this is more an exception than a rule. More on this in a later post!
General rule of thumb for Sorority Party Rounds and Cuts:  If you meet the basic GPA criteria set by Panhellenic, you most likely receive invitations back to Round Two parties. Some houses will have higher GPA requirements, it’s true. But there will be other houses whose GPA standards are more in line with Panhellenic’s cut off number.
If you received an invitation back to a house after Round One is complete, pat yourself on the back! You made it through the deepest cut round! From here on out, houses will be looking at you more than your GPA. Now is your chance to shine during parties with your authenticity, engagement with the sisters, and a desire to learn about their sisterhood!
Enjoy the sorority party rounds, and be yourself! Maximize your options and manage expectations during the week!
Cuts after Round One are disappointing but are never personal. It’s a numbers game for the houses. With hundred of girls going through recruitment, they have to start somewhere to narrow the field. Focus on the houses remaining on your party card rather than houses not listed. Each house offers a wonderful sisterhood – now is your chance to get to know them! You are on your way to bid day!

From theme parties to formals, organizing an event with your sisters is tons of fun. But it still takes a great deal of planning and hard work to pull off a spectacular event. As the social chair or a committee member, it’s your job to create a unique event that’s fun for everyone involved and stays within the budget. No matter what type of sorority party your chapter is planning to throw, you’ll want it to be a night to remember. So, here are a few tips to help make that happen…
 
Sometimes the toughest part of planning a sorority party is simply picking the theme . We get it, you can’t use the same tired old themes from years past and wouldn’t dream of copying another sorority’s theme. We hear you. Sounds like it’s time to get creative! Work with your committee to come up with a few options that you believe the rest of your chapter would like and email a poll of the best 2-3 options. This way, every sister will feel that they’ve had a say in the event and you can guarantee the majority will love your theme (win-win!).
With a theme in the works, check your calendars and set the date ! To choose a date that’s convenient for the majority of chapter members, you’ll want to avoid exam weeks, fraternity formals, or other major events that might conflict with your event. The length of the event may also effect your date. So, if you’re planning on partying the night away, you may want to aim for a weekend to give everyone a little ahem recovery time.
If your chapter has a large enough house to accommodate this epic event, that can be a fantastic option. However, if that’s not the case, or you just need a fresh venue , the first step is to determine the number of guests you’ll be hosting. An average size room accommodates approximately 30 people, so consider your guest list and evaluate accordingly as you visit potential venues.
When choosing your venue, remember to also take into account entertainment and refreshments, as you may need to allot a certain amount of space for things like a stage or seating. The goal when choosing your location is to find the perfect balance between functionality and fun! So make sure to find a place that works with your theme and your amazing sorority party plans.
Now that you’ve found a perfect venue, it’s time to move on to food. First, decide whether your party calls for cocktails or a sit-down dinner . Both require extra equipment, so it’s important to remember your budget when you make this decision. Whether you opt for a cocktail party or a formal dinner, you’ll want plenty of places for partygoers to sit. If this isn’t offered with your venue, consider renting tables and chairs from an Event Rental Company .
For those 21-and-up sisters, having a cash or open bar is a fun addition to any event, and you can often book a bartender from the same company you hired to cater ! F or other college entertainment options, visit GigSalad!
Now that you’ve got the perfect venue and worked out the food and drinks, let’s talk entertainment. Having a band or DJ play can really amp up your sorority party! Think about your theme and seek matching entertainment, or opt for a crowd-pleasing cover band .
Since this is going to be one of the greatest events your chapter has ever seen, you’ll want to remember it all! You may have a sister who is your designated photographer, but if not, hiring a Photographer to capture those amazing memories adds a special touch.
We don’t know about you, but we’re never too old for party favors ! Consider ordering personalized cups or koozies with your Greek letters and the event info, or maybe even custom t-shirts. There are plenty of options when it comes to keepsakes that people will love to use. Whatever you decide, giving your guests something special to take home is a great way to help them remember all of the fun they had and keep them excited for the next event!
Now that you’ve got the tools, it’s time to get to work organizing that sorority party your chapter will always remember! We have full faith in your party planning powers but, just in case, GigSalad is always here to help make it a bit easier so you can enjoy your amazing event!

What's the most horrifying yet exciting text a college student can both send and receive? I'll tell you: "Wanna come to my date party?" Oh, crap.
On this supposedly magical evening, sorority girls flock to a not-so-nearby venue in Detroit accompanied by that special someone. Considering the fact that the majority of our overly expensive dues fund these events, one would presume and, above all, hope that these nights are unforgettable. And oh, they are -- but not always in a positive way.
Why do date parties often result in disaster, you wonder? Is it the overwhelming pressure that gets to us, or our exceedingly high expectations that are inevitably met with utter disappointment? For you lucky ones who leave date parties with your heads held high and without a withering sense of self worth, I commend you. As for you other ill-fated souls, I am here to say I wholeheartedly feel your pain.
Along with most of my peers, I fervently believe date party stress ensues before the actual event even occurs. Finding a date is without a doubt the most traumatic aspect of the date party process. While on the surface this may seem straightforward and uncomplicated, this decision raises several profound questions, such as, "Are you currently seeing someone? If so, is it serious?" or, "Do you want your new relationship to remain casual and, thus, avoid making a public statement?" Honestly, if taking your current romantic interest to your date party seems that excruciating, then you probably should break up. And yet, maybe date parties just catalyze the inevitable?
Since couples obviously avoid this dilemma, do they have hope? After keenly observing my peers, I believe it's entirely plausible that couples have the highest potential to enjoy these extravaganzas; however, I think this is exclusive to newly established couples. For brand new couples, date parties are an exciting way to display one's exuberance and affection for one another. For more time-honored couples, date parties can be quite inconvenient and unexciting as you are stranded at a loud, crowded, far-away venue. Often these duos would rather stay in, casually drink wine and watch Breaking Bad . Please know we don't blame you, and any resentful tone you may discern is merely envy -- because who doesn't love Breaking Bad ?
Lastly, in searching for a date, there is always the unpredictable, risky option: being set up. Set-ups pose a unique circumstance as they can result in some of the absolute best and worst scenarios. Personally, I highly respect those who opt for the chancy set-up. As a college student, we're always encouraged to "put ourselves out there." A blind set-up is an excellent opportunity to e
