Side note/double post: a troll trying to piss you guys off could literally post anything and I'm sure it would work.

sophomore PNM - I know about UNR! Have friends who attended there and know some current actives in several of the chapters. I think you'll have a wonderful recruitment if you prepare and go in with an open mind. It's not as demanding as, say Ole Miss, or Texas, or Alabama, or Indiana - but still and all, you do want to do your very best to maximize your opportunities. Hindsight: It really would have been to your advantage to just simply put in a request "looking for info on recruitment at UNR". Save you time and get you where you need to be, quickly. |
Oy, the UNR Panhellenic website is not very helpful. It lists the dates of recruitment and where to register, but nothing (that I could find) about what activities to expect, what to wear, letters of recommendation, legacy information, etc. Kind of a shame.

One further addition I can offer: competitive is relative. If it's you getting cut it's COMPETITIVE, and with RFM being in place at most schools these days, there will undoubtedly be cuts. It sounds like there are some women here who can provide you with valid advice and shame on UNR's Greek Life office for not providing more information via their website.
I know we can sound like we're contradicting ourselves about anonymity, but if you want real help, you do have to pony up at least a LITTLE background. We don't need to know where you're from, what school you're transferring away from, your bra or shoe size, but what school really does make all the difference. Now, feel free to ask any questions you have about rush at UNR and one way or another I'm sure you'll get your answers. |
As soon as I saw the title to this thread I thought it was about East Coast rappers vs. West Coast rappers. LOL.

Haha that Barbie picture is great.
Mostly I just want to know how competitive it is. Do I need recs or do most girls not have any? On the website they say recruitment lasts a week but they only have 5 houses so what goes on every day? I know I could just wait to see when I get there but I'm still not even positive I will rush and I'm just really curious. If anyone has some past sorority experience at UNR that would be great too |

Quit paying any attention to the rumors and tent talk. Recruitment itself can cause enough stress as it is, so don't mindfcuk yourself with that crap. |
Eeek, can you edit out the rumors there? I'm sure my Sister would do the same if you asked nicely. While you haven't posted a super ton of identifying information you still wouldn't want something you put on GC to affect you, and as far as I've seen the only thing that would is that little rumor bit.
As to whether or not the houses are mean or nasty to one another, you'll have to find out when you meet them at recruitment and after. We don't really deal in chapter reputations here. Yeah, stop listening to tent talk. I can't say whether recs are super necessary but making an attempt to acquire one to each house might be helpful - talk now to pretty much every college alum you know and see if you can get something together. Without more knowledge of what it's actually like at UNR that's about as far as I can go. |

To that last one, I've just seen it so many times when a PNM posts an innocent question and everyone gangs up on them and then somebody wonders if it's a troll trying to piss off all the GCers. It's disheartening to those of us just wanting info, even if the question was obvious. And as far as that rumor goes I didn't believe it or start it, it was just a huge deal last year and personally if a sorority told me that I would be really put off by them, not the subject of their trash talking. There's no need to trash talk other sororities. It just seemed mean, I have absolutely nothing against pi phi I promised myself I will go into recruitment with an open mind if at all.

The rumor about GCers being tough on newbies is false. If you check out the other thread currently running over 14 pages, that poster is clearly a troll. Unfortunately we get our fair share. It also does not help when we get people who do not tell us the whole story, won't cut to the chase, lie or dont want to hear the truth about their situation. Sometimes our advice doesn't sound so nice because it's not what the person wants to hear, but it's what they need to hear.
|
Ok that's a fair argument. Sorry I didn't just come out and say my school I just wanted to check and make sure that I didnt leave any identifiable information. I have no doubt that you guys get trolls but sometimes I think things can get a little mean in a non constructive way. Any advice, sugar coated or blunt, is fine with me. I think this thread is turning into a little bit of a train wreck, I'm sorry I made things more difficult and that I am completely clueless about rush in general, let's just leave it at that and I'll start a new thread titled UNR rush, ok?
