Hi Dreamerchick! I am a recent Alumna from the Delta Nu chapter of Alpha Xi Delta. I absolutely love being an Alpha Xi. Our chapter was a fairly diverse one for our campus. You really have to judge a group on that specific chapter, though. And you also have to just see if you click with the girls there. Best of luck in Rush to you and to all of ther other girls that are rushing this fall. I hope you all find the house that is right for you. If you have any questions about AXiD feel free to email me and I will answer them the best that I can.

Thanks Kristen! I'll definitely contact you once rush starts. I know that I'll be nervous about everything, and I'll need some guidance. I'm planning on keeping everyone on GC updated on my rush experience. Now, I just have to wait for it to get here.

Hi! I'll be rushing at LSU this fall, in a few weeks actually. Good Luck to everyone!

Hey everyone! I'm rushing at MTSU this fall (Sept. 5th-11th). I'm soooooooooooooooooooo excited! I can't thank everyone on this board enough for answering all my crazy questions. My mother said she wishes she'd had a resource like this when she was rushing. Back then the only stuff anyone knew about rushing was rumor or hearsay. Luckilly she still got a bid. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
Well best of luck to *ALL* of you!
On the note about weight/size...I know how you feel...I'm a 5'8" and a size 14, and I feel really paranoid that people will think I'm too fat to join them. But like everyone else said, if they think you're fat, you don't want to be their sister anyhow. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I'm wanting to rush in the fall but I can't decide between formal or informal rush. I went though formal rush last fall but i didn't get invited back after theme night. I think my age had something to do with it(I was a Junior at the time), but i have since changed my major which had brought me back down to sophomore status(non-enthuseastic "yippee")but i'm still an older student (If ya gotta know, I'm 23). So I'm really interested in rushing but I'm not sure if I want to go informal or formal. Give me some input here ladies!!! It will be appreciated!!!!

Sarah,

Which do you feel more comfortable with, formal or informal rush? Personally I always liked informal more because that way you can really get to know the girls more. Do you have deferred rush? I think above all you should give it another shot! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Could hear us sing our song to you
They'd see that in our hearts
We're Pi Phi's from the start

I really do want to give it another shot. I think I know which sorority I want to be in, I'm friends with a bunch of the actives and alumni. But the the decision of which way to rush, I just can't decide and the deadline is fast approaching. My Alumni friends want to write recs for me (about 6 total) and they are from the chapter I want to rush. I just can't make up my mind!

Hey all!
I am going to be rushing Cal State Fullerton this fall as a freshman. I am SO excited about it. I really am going to try to follow the advice about keeping an open mind. In fact, I don't really even know the reps of the sororities at my school. We have AXO, ADPi, Gamma Phi Beta, Sigma Kappa, DZ, and ZTA.
Anyway, I would really love to hear about everyone's rush experiences. My rush starts Sept. 7, so most of you will be done by the time I start. Good luck to everyone!

Linda

P.S. If anyone out there is at CSUF, I would love to hear from you about your sorority!

SaraKT:

you may want to consider if the sororities on your campus bid most of their women during formal or informal. Often many sororities have met quota or total after formal. If this isn't the case, and the GLOs pick up many girls through informal, then IMO I'd say go informal.
With regards to your age, I don't think it should matter. I know in my chapter we barely have a member under 20 since we have many women who've transferred or changed majors. More and more GLOs are becoming open-minded about the advantages of having "older" members.

Yes, i'm rushing in September at the U. of Washington..and i'm so excited! Rather clueless, but excited...

Good luck to everyone going through rush on either side! I'm an alum, so it will be fun to read about everyone's experiences.

Hey. I will be rushing at East Carolina University this fall. In fact, rush starts this thursday. I am so excited. Here we have 9 NPCs. They are in no particular order. Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Phi, Delta Zeta, Chi Omega, Kappa Delta, Zeta Tau Alpha, and Sigma Sigma Sigma.

Readytorush- OMG you start this Thursday- that seems too soon! Well let us know what house you get in!

We've got 16 NPC sororities at U. of Washington..and the houses are all so amazing, it'll be hard to decide on a favorite! Rush doesn't start until Sept. 15th for us, and is 8 days long..good luck everyone rushing!

Well everyone I've decided to go through Formal rush again this fall. I'm turning my application tomorrow (yes, it's late) and rush starts on the 13th!! I'm so excited i can hardly contain myself!!! I can't wait!!!
Wish me luck!!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif
