RUSH from SHSU !!!!
So RUSH starts tommorrow here at Sam Houston State University. I am so stoked ... I cant wait to meet all the girls. I dont know anyone from my school here so I am trying to make friends. I met this one girl who is also RUSHing who lives in my house and she doesnt know anyone who goes here either. So we have befriended each other. Anyway (back to the subject) The sororities on my campus are:
Alpha Chi Omega Alpha Delta Pi Tri Sigma Zeta Tau Alpha My new friend and I were at some Wlecome Week functions and met some girls in Tri Sigma and they were soooo nice and the reason she actually decided to RUSH. I cant wait to meet the other girls.:) Our first event is tommorrow it is a manditory meeting for anyone who signed up to RUSH. I think it will be a general introduction into the rules and whatnot and when we are asigned our groups and Recruitment Counselors.:) Wish me luck!!! |
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!

Best of Luck to You! |
Well our first RUSH meeting is tonight at 700pm. I am soo excited! :D I have met a lot of girls from Tri-Sigma already. They have really made an impression on me and formal RUSH hasnt even begun yet. I was talking to some of the Tri-Sigma girls and the mentioned how they were just as nervous about RUSH as we were...this is because they just colonized here at Sam Houston last semester. So they are really new on campus, but so far they are the only girls I have met from any of the sororities. But I am still keeping an open mind. I dont want to go in biased just because I have already met some people. I think that I want to see what they are all like before I even begin to try to select a group that I want to be apart of. I was just too excited about what is going on to wait until tonight to tell you guys what is happening (if that makes any sense) :p
|
I can't wait to hear all about your RUSH story! Good luck with today's parties - you will do great!

Good Luck
Good Luck this week. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and keep an open mind.
We are all waiting to hear your story. |
Good luck and keep us updated!:)

OK ... So I went to this meeting it is 845 and the meeting started at 700 ... I just got back to my room. It was basically an "orientation to sororities" (thats how it was explained). It was pretty cool. At the very beginning they talked about the differences between panhellenic sororities on this campus and MTV sorority life.:p It was so funny. They introduced all the 'recruitment counselors' to us and we split into our groups to answer any of our questions about Recruitment. Our Recruitment counselors were super nice and made me even more stoked about RUSH!!!! Our first parties start tommorrow.It's BRAG NIGHT. We visit all the houses and they are going to show us rooms and the awards they won and things of that sort. I cant wait...I am sooo excited! ;)
|
Off to a great start!
BlondeGurl,
Sounds like you're having a good recruitment already! The skit your Rho Chis did sounded fabulous, a good way to introduce the "real sorority life." Have a wonderful time tomorrow. Go in smiling and knowing that you are ready to contribute to the sisterhood that is right for you! Good luck, God Bless and keep posting! Have a great first round! "Brag Night", that is a really cute name for it--I like that! :) |
Awesome girl I hope you have a great time at *brag night* hehe thats so cute:) anyways keep us posted and good luck!

So it was 915 when we got done with our first round, it started at 315. I am sooo exhausted (in a good way) ! All the houses were beautiful. When we got to each house the girls were chanting when we went inside and they made two rows that the rushees walked down the middle of and as we walked the sorority girls came to us and introduced thamselves. It was so scary:eek: the first time...and the other times after that it was just exciting. It was sooo much fun! :D Tonight most all the houses did the same thing, they all showed 2 rooms in ther house, showed their badges and jewelry, showed their mixer shirts, they all had pictures all over. Three of the sororities also showed a video at the end of their sisters and it was kool they explained what all the pictures were and some girls got emotional (it was so cute). :D I was really impressed with 3 of the 4 sororities. I felt very at home with them and two imparticular I clicked with right away. One sorority I just didnt click with very much at all...I felt uncompfortable and felt like they werent really interested in me; even though the night was supposed to be them telling us about themselves it was like they werent interested in talking to me. It was awkward. But the other three houses I felt really good about. I am definately keeping an open mind because the sorority that I thought I wouldnt click with at that much was the one I am sooo stoked about. Tommorrow is philantropy night when we all go to each house and have a project to do and we learn about the sorority's philanthropy. We go to all the houses again tommorrow and we pick up our bids Saturday morning at 900am. I am so nervous. :p
|
Sounds like you are having a good time :). Have fun at Philanthropy day and let us know how it goes!
|
Honey it sounds like "Brag Day" went really well for you.
Isn't it funny how the chapter you think isn't for you can sometimes turn out to be so comfortable? As for not "clicking" with one of the houses, that's okay, don't worry about it, if you really enjoy 3 of the 4 you are way ahead of the game. Keep us updated, we're hanging on all the details! violets |
Tonight was philanthropy night. It was sooo much fun I had a way better time tonight at ALL of the sororities. I am so glad I kept an open mind, because tonight I changed my mind about a couple of my first impressions. ;)The philanthropy projects were all really fun and interesting to do and you really learned about the philanthropy. I think I made a better impression tonight on the sororities because I have always been really active in community service and have had leadership positions where all that is concerned. :p Tonight the girls served drinks (last night they didnt). Tommorrow we get invitations back to houses for skit day at 900am. I am sooo nervous. I really dont want to get cut by any of the sororities, last night I dont think I would have minded about one of the sororites but tonight my opinion of them went up...the girls I met I really clicked with and talked to a lot more than I anticipated to. All together tonight went sooo much better than last night. I think I just needed to get over my initial shock and get compfortable with the girls. I am sooo looking forward to tommorrow. I hope I get the invitations I want. :D :D :D :D :D

It totally makes sense that you felt like things went smoother the second day. You were more used to the routine, and so were the sorority women. Believe it or not, a lot of the sorority women are nervous about having to to talk to you guys! They want to get to know you and make a good impression on you just as much as you want to do that for them, and sometimes it can be really overwhelming, especially if it is their first time on that side of rush!
It sounds like you have a great attitude! |
I am so glad you are having a good time and that tonight you clicked with all of the houses. You never know what is going to happen from night to night. Can't wait to hear about pref night.
Tell your friend that is going to A&M -she needs to post her rush story too! I would love to here about rush from my former school :) Karen |
Any updates????? How is everything going?
|
Hey, well at 900am we got our invitations back. I went to A-D-Pi, ZTA, and Tri-Sig. There skits were sooo good. A-D-Pi did Saturday Night Pi...it was soooo funny I laughed sooo hard that I cried. Zeta did a TRL and did a countdown of the top 10 videos, they did all these super cute dance routines and put there own words into the songs. Tri-Sigma did a baseball team thing, it was cute. All the houses were soooo good. We are going to get our pref night invitations tommorrow at 900am and I have no idea if I get invites to all three againI have no idea who I will pref. We can only chose 2. I hope it is easier tommorrow when the time comes.
|
no AXO :(
You have 3 wonderful organizations to choose from. Two strong chapters and a new colony-how exciting :). Good luck and have fun at pref.
|
AWWW yaaay you went to ZTA!!! Im soo excited :) lol anyways im ageek I hope you get invited back to the ones you loved!! cant wait to hear more :)
Nichole |
Sounds like your rush is going great so far. Good luck with your pref invites. :)
|
It's after 9am in my time zone (EST) so it won't be much longer until you have your pref invites in Texas! Can't wait to hear about it, sounds like you had a great time yesterday and here's hoping today is a day that brings you wonderfully happy memories.
Christin |
No, I'm not an addict!!!
OK, it's now almost 2:00 central time. Any news, BlondeGurl??? :D
|
Well...Iwas invited back to Tri-Sigma and A-D-Pi. They were so awseome !!! I almost cried in one. Iwont say which...because that will give it away, but I was invited back to the one that I love !!!! We could only go back to two parties tonight and at the end of the night we signed our pref cards. We arent supposed to talk to each other until tommorrow at 500 when we find out what house gave us a bid. My friend that I was going through this with was cut by al the houses today and she was crying...it was sooo sad! but she was happy for me. anyway...I just want to thank you guys for all your support. ;)
|
i can't wait to hear how things turn out! i hope you get your wish. i am sorry that your friend was dropped. is there any chance for COB?
|
I think there is...I know for sure there are chances for a snap bid. I know that she is planning on rushing again in the spring. i hope she decides to.
|
Good luck Brenda, hope your wishes come true! Also, best of luck to your friend. Hopefully someone will be able to extend her a snap or invite her to a COR event now.
Can't wait to hear from you! Christin |
fingers and toes crossed
may all your dreams come true.

BlondeGurl,
You are definitely in my thoughts right now. I know you will find a wonderful home for yourself! Keep us updated! Fraternally, violets |
I can't wait to hear what house gave you a bid. I'm addicted to all these rush threads, it makes me wish I was back going through again:D
