who the hell wants to have a conversation about why the hell you need braces again, wtf?

maybe its a girl thing?

/end crash/ back to your regularly scheduled thread.

No. It's a small talk thing. A fraternity rush with braces may find (perhaps more "masculine") ways to mention being 19 with braces. Or an active may jokingly ask him about them.

Besides, I think these are "women" by the time recruitment comes around. ;)

Hey everyone! This fall I am planning on rushing at a California school...unfortunately today my orthodontist told me I need braces a SECOND TIME because I have problems with my jaw. My question is... going through rush with braces is a really bad idea, right? I really want to join a sorority and I think if I went through recruitment with braces no one would want me! If anyone has any advice, I would really appreciate it! Also if anyone knows people who have even had braces in college.
Thanks in advance.

It shouldn't be a problem :) I have braces. If a sorority does base their entire idea of you on your braces, then it is probably a good thing you don't get into that sorority :)

i'm in the EXACT same situation. It's my second time with braces and I have to have jaw surgery during winter break. I was talking to my 3 older sisters about it (all were in sororities) and 2 of my friends a year older who rushed and they all said that nobody will care, and if anything, it'll be a great conversation starter!
