Daughter Rushing
 

Thank you so much OTW! I've decided I'm going to need a lot of support the 2nd week of August, and hopefully I can find some here.

No, I'd never call her "D" :p

A "smaller" SEC school, huh?! Is there such a thing? LOL Just kidding -- You hang in there and please do give us all the details. We love to live vicariously through you (and her!).

I'm writing a rec for my big sister's niece (and no, Jill, I don't expect you to include her in your list!) but I may pop in and let you know how it goes - she's rushing at Texas A & M.

Yeah well, it IS kind of an oxymoron, but I couldn't think of any other way to describe it because it is smaller than the SEC schools in my state. It's actually about the size of my alma mater when I was there 100's of years ago :p

And....I was thinking last night...it might be interesting to chronicle the other 3 girls she knows going through rush with her. All of them are from out of state as well, but 2 of them have some contacts already in place. All four are very different, so I'll be curious to see how everyone ends up.

Great idea -- the more the merrier!

I will rush at LSU this fall!!

the girl i am close to is rushing at Michigan..

and a few of my sisters crew are finally done and they are going to
Oregon St, Washington, Washington State and one is going far away to Illinois..

I am sooo excited for all the new rush threads this fall!

Ill be rushing at an sec school.

I'm rushing at a school I will not name :)

This is probably like the smartest "potential new member" to ever post here.

ETA: I'll avoid getting e-raped over the term rushee.

I am rushing this fall at UCF!

I am rushing in the fall at a school I will not disclose.

Im rushing at Kansas State University!! Go cats! =)

Yeah to rush season approaching!!!!!!!


My name is Brianna and I am a rush thread addict. :D

lol...your season is fast approaching!^^ Enjoy.

yay for washington state!

I will be going through formal recruitment at a small school I will keep private until after rush :)

Update...
 

Ok so I already mentioned that I was going through recruitment but I wantedto post an update. This week at FIU we had a Greek BBQ where you get to meet them and I went. All of the women were really nice and I had even seen some of them earlier in the week at this concert that TKE had that was really fun. After meeting them and getting to know them better I'm really glad I decided to go through recruitment. :D

For the past three days I've been lurking this site to death trying to find out as much information as possible about rushing and some of the sororities. It's been so helpful and really opened my eyes to a lot of other sorority possibilities. I've fallen in love with certain sororities based off the way you girls talk about them; they all seem fantastic! Way to represent your letters ladies because even through a website you're really making a lasting impression. I will be rushing at NAU this fall semester (I'm paying the application fee as I type!) and I'm hoping my experience will be as great as some of yours from the recruitment forum! I'm going in with an open mind, but have several top choices, if you want to know feel free to send me a message! Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated!

I'm rushing at University of Arizona (Fall 2008) :)

i, too, am going through recruitment at fsu in the fall!

i am so excited, i can't hardly wait ; )

I've written a rec for a girl going to University of Georgia. She's a direct legacy of three different sororities (grandmother, mother, sister) and her aunt is a member of another sorority. She's got the whole package, bu we all know how the legacy thing can bite you in the butt, especially at the larger schools. I'm sure I won't get updates, but I'll post when it's over if she got a bid, and where.

Good luck to all the girls and especially to those going through in the SEC. Just enjoy the experience!

To all the potential new sisters going through recruitment, there is so much great advice here on GC, please take it to heart. I hope each of you is able to go through with an open mind and an open heart and find your true "home". You will know, if you read many posts, that so many of us found our home where we least expected it! That's the great part about having an open mind. Believe me, 25 years later, I know I am where I was meant to be (although during the first 2 days of my recruitment, I never would have thought so!) Boy, am I glad I kept my options open and followed my instincts!

Good luck to all and please keep us posted!

Rushing at Southern Miss

I just saw this... VERY NICE!
Lol

:)

My daughter will be going through recruitment next month at a large Texas university as an incoming freshman. I found this site several months ago and it has been a tremendous help; the recruitment threads have been especially entertaining. I intend to post my daughter's story as well - just haven't decided if I will do so during or after recruitment.

To all of those who will post a recruitment thread,

Please remember to be discrete. Often, from the clues and descriptions you give many of us can figure out the college or university (that's not all bad). With that in mind, it's not a good idea to bash any chapter or use rude terms or generalities that could do you harm.

We love your stories, so continue to post them. When naming the thread, try to avoid, "My Fall 2008 Recruitment Thread". Those of us who are addicts of recruitment threads do read them (ok, some of us stay up all night reading them), but they are hard to keep straight if we have a dozen of the same name. Be creative.

Some of the better names recently, were:
"20something's BRUTALLY HONEST Retro Recruitment Thread",
"Chuck Norris's Recruitment Story" (who could forget!), or
"Blondie's Retro Rush Story at Southern Private University"
Those were very easy to keep straight.

And moms....post them too! We have a lot of mothers that keep us updated or write post mortem recruitment stories that are wonderful.

Good luck to everyone who is going through recruitment this year. They start in just a couple of weeks!

I am rushing at my college of choice.:)
Wish me luck..good luck to all of you who are rushing also..hope for the best!

I just registered for Fall Recruitment 2008 at TU! I couldn't be more excited! :)

Audreylove, you might want to make note of some of the posts cautioning PNMs to protect their identity on GC -- that includes signatures too. :)

Yeah that! Did you not read the first post of this thread with the word of warning?

Discretion is your friend

oops:p forgot about the signature.

Hi!!!
 

I'm rushing at a school on the West Coast! I'm so excited I'm already having dreams about it and its still two months away!!!

Hey! This is my very first post, but I've been lurking around for a little while ;-)

I will be rushing this fall at UNC-Chapel Hill as a transfer student... wish me luck!! :-D

I'm going through recruitment at a school in Texas as a sophomore. I'm a little nervous since I seem to be at a bit of a disadvantage, but overall I'm VERY excited. I found GC yesterday and have been spending waaayyy too much time on here in the past 48 hours! Everyone here seems so helpful and nice :) Good luck to everyone else who's rushing!

Im rushing at Southern Miss in just 6 days! Wish me luck :)

PhenomenalSIS!
 

I couldn't be prouder to announce that my biological sister will be going through recruitment this fall at a small-ish school! :D I do have her permission to post her story, but I plan on waiting until AFTER her bid day to do so. We are going shopping for clothes for recruitment next weekend! I can't wait!
