New mom to this...
 

My daughter has begun rush week (as of last night at 2a.m.!! lol) I am looking for info on DBS in Murfreesboro TN. Any help you can give me would be totally appreciated!!

Thanks to all:)

Wait. What?

What is DBS?

And how is rush starting in July?

what sort of organization is she "rushing"? national panhellenic sororities do not hold recruitment in the summer, nor do they start at 2 a.m.

DBS is mrusfosoboro TN is apparently satellite service.

MTSU doesn't start rush yet and the NPHC info sessions aren't until september. http://www.mtsu.edu/greeks/

I call stealth spam incoming.

Maybe she REALLY wants to spy on her daughter? Heli-mom x 422 (or sati-mom).

Delta beta sigma is a high school sorority with a few chapters in the southeast. Could this be what mom is referring to?

Yep.

"Delta Beta Sigma is a national high school sorority founded in Columbia, Tennessee in 1903."

PS Who lets their high school kid out at 2am?

And to the OP - what do you need help with?

And what kind of worthwhile activity would a bunch of high school girls be doing while ''rushing" at 2am? And why would a mom be looking for information after the fact?

The key word is "worthwhile". Because a high school service sorority that promotes "tolerance, scholarship, social poise and citizenship" has many important things to do in the cloak of darkness.

2am makes me think of Dazed and Confused. :)

if i were up at 2 a.m., i would be dazed and confused.

We had DBS where I grew up. All of my friends were members. The way you find out (at least in my town) that you have been accepted for membership is that they arranged with your mom to "kidnap" you one night. She made sure you had pajamas that were acceptable for public viewing and that the front door was unlocked. They snuck in, woke you up and took you out to the car (or pickup), and you spent the rest of the night going around with them to kidnap the rest of the new pledges.

Everyone had breakfast together, and they took you home, after giving you a time and place for the pledging ceremony. If you decided not to pledge, you simply didn't show up for the pinning ceremony.

When they contacted my mom, she said no. :( However, 8 years later she let my sister join. :D Go figure!!

The organization has a long history, and does a lot of good philanthropy. It's kinda "sorority lite". They are a legitimate organization.

What is this, Gilmore Girls?

^^ My mom was in a high school sorority, though I'm not sure the letters. I'll admit, I don't 'get' it, but I guess it's still around some places. Banned here though.
