Fun thread!

Mine was a ZTA, but our entire group thought she was a Theta. During the middle of rush, she had us all write down on a piece of paper what we thought she was. It was sort of funny to see her go through all of these pieces of paper and read out "Theta", "Theta", "Theta", "Theta" ... Seriously, pretty much all twelve or so of us thought she was a Theta, but only one in the group pledged Theta, while two (maybe three? I can't remember for sure) went Zeta.

Yeah, in SRC training, the SRC's are actually told not to get into the whole "let's guess what chapter I'm in" thing. Our Panhellenic Advisor tells them to kind of laugh it off and say something like what you posted. It's pretty relevant now especially with Facebook and MySpace. It's SO EASY to find out what sorority an SRC is in. You have a bigger chance of being "outed", so you have to always let the PNMs know that even if you are found to be an XYZ, you are just one of many.

You're not alone! I felt the same way after recruitment! Go through recruitment on the other side next fall and then apply to be a PX that spring for the next fall-- you'll have had the best of both worlds! :)

I have a good memory, but...
 

It's been many years since I've thought about this! First of all, I think we called them Rush Counselors and I don't recall one or two being "assigned" to a group of rushees. I don't think I ever had a one-on-one conversation with any of them. I just attended the group meetings and didn't have any questions!

I do remember my OA (Orientation Assistant) was an ADPi. I'm sure that had an impact on me returning to ADPi for pref.

I think ours were called rush counselers as well-mine was a theta

My Orientation Leader and my Rho Chi were both Phi Mus!

My Orientation Leader was actually in Tri Delta! She graduated before I joined (we have deferred rush and she was a senior my freshman year), but she's been back a lot to help out with various events we've had. My Rho Gammas were in Pi Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta, and Alpha Phi.

For the life of me, I couldn't figure out if my Rho Gamma was an AZD or a Phi Sig. (her hair said one thing but her clothes screamed ???) But by the second night she gave herself away to me by unconciously doing something kinda rude to me (when she realized that my bf was in the "wrong" fraternity while I was asking a recruitment related question) that my ENTIRE rush group also noticed and pointed out to me (even though I obviously had seen it too). She couldn't help herself I suppose. (I was a junior when I rushed so I knew some of the "stereotypes" that went along with each chapter) She was a Rho Gamma again this year too. We talk when we see each other and I don't hold it against her. Most of her chapter probably would have done the same thing at the time and not even thought twice about it cos it was an unconcious reaction. Now, I don't think they'd react the same way.

Well, I had one even though I ended up dropping & COB'd instead.

The two I had after Day 1 were an Alpha Phi (totally thought she was a DZ) and a Tri-Delta (thought she was a GPhiB). Man I was off.

mine was an ASA....I thought she was a Phi Sigma Sigma.

Most of my group guessed me correctly (Chi O), but PNMs in other Rho Chis' groups thought I was a Tri Sigma.

I can see thinking an ASA was a PhiSig at WIU...that makes sense...
But a ChiO as a Tri-Sig???:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Okay, I am missing something....why is mistaking a Chi O for a Tri Sig so shocking?

Campus culture.

They did the same thing at my school when I went through :)

Back to the original question: mine was a Gamma Phi Beta - I knew ahead of time, just because she worked the Student Union info desk both freshman and sophomore year (I went through as a sophomore) and I would see her wearing her letters everywhere :) I didn't say anything, and neither did another fellow sophomore PNM - who also worked in the Student Union with our Rho Chi! :cool:

Basically...although I don't think I would use top-tier and weak...just...different. You can have two groups that are both good, strong groups, and have completely different personalities/reps.

My Rho Chi was a Gamma Phi Beta. I was SURE she was a Delta Gamma.

KD had two Rho Chi's that year - everyone knew (well, we didn't KNOW, but we all thought they were KDs) which group they belonged to. The revealing on Bid Day was more of a confirmation than a reveal. I was so glad to know I was going to be their sister! :)

I rushed this year- one of mine was a Chi O and the other was a Phi Mu. They asked us to guess and mostly everyone knew which ones they were!

One of my rho chis was a KD and the other one was a Theta.

There's a funny story about the Theta...I definitely saw her nametag on one of the girls in the Theta room. All the members have to wear a nametag for rush, and the girl rushing me didn't have hers, so she grabbed a random one from the pile. Turns out, it was my rho chi's nametag! I was like, "that name sounds familiar..." and the girl swore up and down that it was a nametag of a girl who graduated a long time ago! That was the first day of formal rush, too, so...haha, whoops...?

There were 2 rho chi's for my group....one was an Alpha Phi and the other was a Tri Sigma.

The Rho Chis in my rush group were pretty easy to guess; some of them had dark, bobbed hairstyles and hornrimmed eyeglassas in in colors like blue or red. So it was obvious to anyone in the greek system at that time and place that these girls were Tri Deltas. Chi Omegas were easy to spot because of their cashmere twinsets and discrete pears and their almost uniform long, wavy, chunckily highlighted, blonde heads.

Is this Pitt-speak for big boobs?

That's pretty funny, but thats what I thought she was talking about too.

I know my Rho Gamma was a ZTA and she the steroetyped ZTA. She was thin, with dark hair, and mediteranian look about her. Although there are differences with ZTA, it seems a good majority of them has these looks. I love the ZTA girls here...they are soo nice!

Heh, so here goes Rho Chi round number 2 for yours truly. I'm interested to see what my PNMs think I am. I'm matched with a girl from another sorority, and she and I mesh well...truth is, I can see her being in my sorority! We might just fake 'em out. Now, if only the boys would TAKE ME OUT OF THE FACEBOOK PHOTOS FOR THE LOVE OF PETE!

One of mine was a DG and the other one was an AOPi. I knew the one was a DG, but I had NO idea the other one was an AOPi!
I thought she was a TriDelt...we all did...we even had to guess after pref night and not a single person got it right!
The following day when she revealed she was in AOPi, I was SO excited! She definitely kept her cool when I got my bid card--trying to act happy for me but not TOO excited--it was amazing. :)

My PX was my BIG! :) I knew she was a Phi Sig because she had cornered me on campus in the fall after I didnt join that semester! I was so excited to have her has my big!

Mine were a Kappa, an AOPi, and a KD. It's funny; I've liked every single KD I've met except for her. That girl got on my last nerve!

When I went through recruitment, my Rho Gamma was a Theta Phi Alpha, and I totally knew it the whole week...

This year when I was a Rho Gamma, all of my girls except 1 thought I for sure I was a Kappa Kappa Gamma, and she thought I was a Delta Delta Delta. One actually went Kappa, and called me crying because she thought for sure I would be her new sister...oops :)

We only have like 450 people at my school, 2 sororities, and I was a junior when I went through recruitment, so I knew. But most of the freshmen who went through didn't. We had an Alpha Xi Delta and a Phi Mu...both were great girls who made the whole experience even better!

Please do not hotlink to images on other sites and please remember your Panhellenic manners. If you can't say anything nice, then perhaps nothing should be said.

Crap, what'd I miss?

Im not even going to repeat what was showed and said..but it was very rude and discriminating towards chi-o's. we'll leave it at that and move on.

In my group we had 3 Rho Chis: A Delta Gamma, an Alpha Phi and a Pi Beta Phi; all fabulous ladies :)

I was right about one being Delta Gamma b/c I was friends with her little sis in the sorority. The one from Alpha Phi, I thought was in Delta Zeta and the one from Pi Beta Phi, I thought was in Kappa Alpha Theta.

It was funny b/c I was absolutely convinced I was right. We were all trying to guess in front of them, they had a great poker faces ;)

mine was a ZTA and I was really excited when I found out because I thought she was pretty awesome =)

My rho gamma was a Kappa Kappa Gamma. I guessed it right everyday out of pure dumb luck. I wasnt really paying attention to guessing all that much.

I was a rho gamma last year, and by the end of the week only about 3 girls in my small group had guessed me, most of them thought I was an ADPi. Which makes sense I have a ton of friends in that chapter right now :) The end of day one 12 out of 17 girls thought I was an ADPi.

The girls in my big group absolutely horrible at guessing the 4 of us. Very few ever got us right, but they were usually pretty cood about not guessing the chapters we obviously did not fit into.

she was in my rho gamma group (not my rho gamma, but there was 4 in our group) and I DEFINITELY did not see you as a Alpha Xi. I think I said you were an ADPi too (and another group too but I don't remember what I guessed), but I also kept changing my answers until I finally looked at my master look (evil laugh;)...although a lot of groups on campus could easily have the same people, there are some groups that distinctively are their own (in a very good way).

I completely agree!! She and the others in my group ALWAYS had something great to say about EVERY chapter and while I know they are supposed to, it was never forced it was always volunteered...you could tell they meant it. I know it might sound corny, but thats the truth in my opinion.

LOLOL!!! I just now finally read this. Nah, S., it's just a typo for "pearls". Pittspeak back then for big boobs was, if I recall correctly, "bodacious tatas"!

I *thought* my RG was an Alpha Chi. I was so convinced of it and I liked her so much that I felt really guilty when I regretted Alpha Chi on the first round of invites. Sooooo ... I then proceeded to accept their invite when they re-invited and released Tri-Delta thinking that I was showing her that I was really interested in being in whatever organization she was a part of. Anyway ... a few days later, I actually picked Alpha Phi feeling terribly guilty that I wasn't putting her sorority on my list for Preference. On bid day, I found out she was a Tri-Delt. I was totally clueless during recruitment! :D

Moral of the story: Don't try to please your RG. :p
