Hey girl,
It's great to hear that you definitely want to go through here. In my rush group, we had 2 juniors and 4 sophomores. Upperclassmen rushing is highly encouraged.

However, since my heart sis got in contact with you, I am so glad you came to hang out with us! I am a little biased in saying that we would love for you to go sigma kappa! I have heard nothing but great things about you from all my sisters.

I am so happy to hear that. I absolutly love being around yall and i already feel in the few days that ive known yall that i have found my home. i can't wait to get to know yall more and hope we have many many more days together.

Is it just me? Or did anyone else feel weird after reading this on GC?

Discretion is key!

No, not just you, and I'm fuzzy on the rules, but my first thought was "dirty rush"?

i thought "dirty rush" too, unless they are able to cob right now. irregardless, posting it for all the world to see is not smart.

we are going through cob right now and i am the only PNM going through at this time. i have been invited to many things and loved getting to know the girls. i absolutely love the girls and do feel at home with them.

Hi Ya'll
I am sooooo excited i found this website. Last Spring (07) I received an invite to a Take A Peek Go Greek day. My mom and I went and I totally fell in love. I couldn't wait for fall recruit. But over the summer I received a state office in another organization and was unable to rush do to too many conflicting dates i would have had to choose which one to do and give up the other so i did not rush. i couldn't rush during informal either for the same reason. so here i am now reading threads and getting siked for fall recruit. but as i have read many stories and posts many people say that sophomres have a hard time getting a bid. so my question, does anyone know is it hard to get a bid as a sophmore at a southern school?

thnx so much for the encouraging words. i cant wait for the process to begin. i am counting down the days and my parents are getting really excited for me. they couldn't believe it when i told them i wanted to join a sorority. i am not someone you would think would join a sorority but when i went to preview day with my mom last spring we both fell in love with the groups. i love being around other people and have always be busy with volunteering around my community. i know this will be an experience of a lifetime and cant wait to start a new chapter in my life.

Agree. Minnesota's the first thing that came to my mind......

I thought University of Mississippi AKA Ole Miss ...

just wanted to give ya'll an update. i am still hanging with the Sig Kaps and will be attending their AllSing program this weekend. i eat lunch with them every MWF and sometimes hang with them at the house. i will keep ya'll posted with my progress and let ya'll know when and if i receive a bid.

Just to make a final statement on the whole "dirty rush" issue. Yes I made a mistake with what I posted, but this is the only way I had to communicate with cantwait08 at this time. I should have PMed her and I will be sure to use more discretion in the future. However, we were the only chapter thatwas still open for COB'ing as every other chapter had already reached campus total or had already started their new member programs and could not add in new girls. Our Formal Rush is during the fall and we are unable to give bids after the spring semester ends.
Thanks!

well, did she get a bid?

no i did not receive a bid. i am planning on going through fall recruitment and can't wait for the summer activities to arrive. i will update during the summer and after recruitment. thanks for all the encouragement and i hope everyone has a safe and fun summer.
