Hey!

No prob! Yeah, rush is both a fun and emotional time. I've known girls who have had a blast and girls who have called their mothers crying every night. One girl who lived on my floor last year got cut from pretty much all the houses that she wanted after the first day. She was completely heartbroken, but she stuck with it and realized how much she loved the houses who didn't cut her. Turns out, on pref night she was down to the same two houses that her mother had been when she went through rush years ago. That was really special for her and her mom cause she prefed the same as her mom and got the house that her mom was in. Seems like rush turns out well for everyone in the end! You're gonna have a great time wherever you wind up, I know it :cool: .

Recruitment at OU is nearing (yeah!). Just relax and take it as it comes. You will find the house that is right for you. Good Luck.

Just wanted to get opinions from you all about the Betas at Oklahoma??!! I know within our National fraternity, they have always been one of our best, winning awards every year, one of the tops on campus, huge, HUGE rush always, intramural winners most of the time, always winning grades...etc.

PS, I know the Betas have a huge house too, but when I look at the map, the Delta Tau Delta house is gigantic, at least double the size of anything.....must be a big house!

They are really great guys and have a good rep on campus. Always involved and good grades.

The Betas were a pretty big house when I was at OU. They always had really wild hall parties, and were known for having a good time. In my opinion, their house is definitely one of the coolest fraternity houses... I think it is some sort of historic landmark or something. A very unique house.

The Delts were big when I was in school. The house is really spread out. They probably had one of the largest memberships at the time.

The Betas are a really good fraternity here at OU. Some of the guys are quite wild haha, but they have a very respectable reputation here on campus for academia and intermurals and all that stuff.

When are the dates for rush at OU? I'm already getting excited for you guys--it sounds like a really great experience!!! And of course I'm also excited to see a rush thread with Phi Mu. ;)

rush starts august 15 and bid day is the 19th!

hey everyone! just wanted to give a quick update! I will leave for Oklahoma in about 8 days! Move in is the 14th. Its come sooo quickly! I am making many trips to the mall to be sure of all my outfits, I am also preparing mentally. I have gotten so much support from all around me. I am very nervous for the 15th ( the first day of rush) but so excited to start a whole to chapter in my life!

Hey there!

Gotta love the pre-rush butterflies. I'm moving into the house tomorrow and we, along with all the other houses, are gonna be spending next week getting prepared for everything. I'm excited, but in a way a little nervous too because I've never been through rush on the other side and I wanna be sure to make a good impression of my house for all the PNM's coming through. We'll have to share stories from each side after rush is over (in the meantime, I have to abstain from doing so cause it would be considered "dirty rushing", and i don't want to do any of that). Move-in day will be really hectic cause you'll have about 10 girls on your floor at least moving in all at once, but once you get settled it, it'll be really nice having those 10 other girls on your floor cause you guys can all get together and express pre and during rush jitters. LOL, that's what we did! And it was really cool the way things worked out because we had 10 of the 12 houses represented on our floor. I've made sure to stay friends with everyone who lived on my floor cause it always gives me an excuse to go hang out with other houses and stuff. That's one thing that makes OU Greek life great! No matter what house you wind up in, you will still have friends in all of the houses! :)

Just wanted to ditto that about the houses.....they're even more impressive in person!! (My mom lives in OKC, and we've driven all through the greek houses several times). Mom always asks about what the houses are like to live in, but I don't know because my school didn't have houses :( . Think anyone could give us a tour next time we're in town? :D

Good Luck with recruitment!!!! Let us know how it is!!

Hello Everyone! I am leaving for school tomorrow! Everything is packed and in the car! The whole idea of leaving home is starting to sink in, fast! I'm soo excited despite all the nerves. Friday is the beginning of rush and I know I won't be able to sleep the night before! Wish me luck and please keep me in your prayers!

Hope I get to meet you Friday! Good luck with move-in!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Have a great time. :)

Keep us updated if possible. Good luck.
