Rush nostalgia!
All these rush threads are making me nostalgic! I'm thinking back to the "good old days" (OK, not THAT old, but still!).
So what was your formal sorority rush experience like? 1) How many years ago did you rush? a) within the last four b) within the last decade c) within 25 years d) longer ago than 25 years 2) How many sororities did you have on campus? 3) Did you rush as a freshman? 4) Did you have an idea where you wanted to go going in ... and did you end up there? 5) Was your class full to quota? 6) Did you get your first, second or third choice? 7) What was your favorite party, and was it at the house you joined? 8) Was it frills/no frills? :) |
OK, figured I should answer my own questions:
1) b, within the last ten years 2) 5 3) yes 4) I had narrowed it down to two, and I joined one of them 5) no 6) first 7) Captain's ball (the entire AXD week was a cruise). AChiO's New Year's Eve was nice, too. 8) Frills. But still pretty laid back! |

1) How many years ago did you rush?
Okay the answer to this question hurts, so you know, I'm just not gonna answer it! Put it this way, it seems like yesterday but it certainly wasn't. 2) How many sororities did you have on campus? 8 NPC sororities. 3) Did you rush as a freshman? I rushed the 2nd year, but I was in a 5 year program. 4) Did you have an idea where you wanted to go going in ... and did you end up there? I was absolutely clueless when I went to Rush. It was a good thing, I knew I wanted a home, sisters and the whole Greek experience but as far as knowing anything about the sororities I was a total novice. 5) Was your class full to quota? Yes, 40 women. 6) Did you get your first, second or third choice? I got my absolute first choice and have been happy with it ever since. There were bumps in the journey, but that's a story for another time, I ended up with my first choice and true home. 7) What was your favorite party, and was it at the house you joined? Yes, my favorite party was the first night at ADPi. I just had that feeling of being relaxed. They dispelled any myths about sorority women that I might have been harboring. They also played an ABBA song while showing their slide show and that totally endeared me to them as well. (This is before the retro-70s thing came into vogue, not too much before, but before.) I loved what they wore, blue and white shirts and Khaki shorts and white keds (keds were popular then, or at least passable and great for rush). I just had such a good time. Oh, it makes me happy just thinking about it! 8) Was it frills/no frills? Frills, such as they were at a the time! Nothing too dramatic until Preference when chapters would pull out all the stops. Ice sculptures, gourmet food, smoke machines, some of it was really over the top! :p |

Biggest class that year. 6) Did you get your first, second or third choice? First choice, baby! :D 7) What was your favorite party, and was it at the house you joined?

But I had a better time at Alpha Gam *all throughout rush*, so that tipped the scales for me. 8) Was it frills/no frills? Frilly by SFSU standards, but no frills judging by what I see at other campuses! ;) |
My experience...
Washington State University
1) How many years ago did you rush? B. Fall 1995 2) How many sororities did you have on campus? 14 NPC sororities 3) Did you rush as a freshman? No, I went through recruitment as a Junior when I transferred. 4) Did you have an idea where you wanted to go going in ... and did you end up there? I thought I was going to go somewhere else in the beginning (first round) but then decided on Alpha Gam from the 2nd round on. I have never looked back. 5) Was your class full to quota? Yes, Quota plus 4. 6) Did you get your first, second or third choice? 1st choice! 7) What was your favorite party, and was it at the house you joined? My favorite event was the skit, it showed the dynamics of the chapter. Pref sealed the deal! 8) Was it frills/no frills? FRILLS! |
1.) How many years ago...5 actually. So none of the above.
2.)How many sororities...6 at the time, AZD, AOTT, ASA, PhiMu, ZTA, and Tri-Sigma (since then ASA has left, Sigma Kappa and AXO have joined) 3.)Yes I rushed as a freshman second semester. (we have deferred rush) 4.) Going into I though I would be in one house....I ended up in it's next door neighbor (very long and heartbreaking story) 5.) yes, Qouta was 40 + 2 for a total of 42 (of course!) we were the only org to keep its entire pledge class. 6.) AZD was my third choice going into rush and it was my first choice after Round 3- Skit night 7.) Skit night was my favorite night all the way around. AZD's skit in black light was fabulous! 8.) totally and absolute FRILLS! |
1) A- within the last four
2) 3 3) yep 4) going in, I had only heard of Chi-O, I had never heard of Tri-Sigma or AST, so i thought i wanted chi-o since i had heard of them. Nope, i didn't go Chi-o 5) Nope, we didn't make quota. There were 5 of us in my class/ 6) 3rd choice, but i can't imagine myself at the other 2 7) This is a tie. I loved Chi Omega's skit night, they had stars with every PNMs name on it and the skit was cute and they served us cheescake with our names on it. I also loved Tri-Sigmas pref. night, it was so beautiful and I was in tears because of it. Of course I didn't go to either sorority. 8) Was it frills/no frills? I though it was Frills, but after hearing about other rushs its obviously very no frills.:) |

So what was your formal sorority rush experience like? 1) How many years ago did you rush? c) within 25 years (Fall of '88!) 2) How many sororities did you have on campus? three. DZ, AGD & ASA 3) Did you rush as a freshman? Yes..wet behind the ears! 4) Did you have an idea where you wanted to go going in ... and did you end up there? No idea. I had met women from DZ and AGD before recruitment and liked all of them...but I had an idea by 2nd night that I wanted to be a DZ, and that's where I ended up! 5) Was your class full to quota? Yes. 28 new pledges! 6) Did you get your first, second or third choice? First and only (suicided) 7) What was your favorite party, and was it at the house you joined? Pref night at DZ was the most impressive and moving party of them all (IMHO). But AGD did a fun "Grease" skit that was pretty entertaining--probably my second fave party...I think they still do the same skit all these years later! 8) Was it frills/no frills? I'd say frills-but not as frilly as some of the chapters I later visited as a consultant (FSU, Fall '92 comes to mind as the frilliest). Everyone dressed alike, elaborate skits and decorations every night, lots of songs and displays. Pretty all out. :) |
