Informal Rush
Well this past fall i was going to go through fall rush... so many thoughts were going into my head, plus it didnt help that the rho chi that was assigned to me didnt seem very friendly. I only talked to her on the phone, and i realize that maybe she wasnt trying to sound unfriendly, but thats how she came across. Long story short, i decide to wait another semester. Now, in the spring, my school has informal rush. Considering i dont know any girls in sororities here, and i dont really know what house i want to be in.... i dont know if going through informal rush is a good idea. I am a transfer student to this school so i am a sophomore, i dont want to wait until fall rush next year because then i will be a junior. The school that i transferred from, mainly takes in all freshman and a few sophomores... so thats why i dont want to rush here as a junior. I dont know what i should do... i would love to get advice from anyone that knows a thing or two about informal rush!! If you are in a sororitiy at the University of Houston, that is where i transferred to, i would love to hear from you as well!!

I have gone through informal rush last year and it was a lot of fun. Not knowing which chapter you want to rush will make it a little more tricky. First you need to figure out that part. Try to contact the Panhallenic Association at your campus. Look around in class, see if any of the girls are in sororities and talk to them. You still have a while before Rush begins again, so try to make a few friends. Also, look at the post by southern_theta "My Advice to Sorority Rushees...." it is very helpful. Good luck http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif |
In my opinion no matter what year you are if you represent the ideals of a house and they see that then you will be given a bid. Perhaps instead of looking at your situation as a negative you could take this time to get to know some girls in houses. Make an effort to be friendly and introduce yourself, and if possible hang out at some of the houses with people belonging to the house.
I know that my chapter looks at what qualities a woman possesses verses what year she is. In the past two informal classes we have taken seniors and juniors. Being older isn't always a bad thing. Just make the effort to get to know members of the different orgs. Kymberleigh Delta Delta Delta |
Hi-
Although I personally agree with what Kymberleigh has said, it just isn't true at all schools. I went to a southern school with a large greek system and they DON'T accept juniors. Not a one. Not only that, but juniors who sign up to rush always drop out before rush even starts because they know they don't have a chance. Although Panhel won't say that it's an "official" policy (i don't think....), it is definitely true with the sororities on my campus. With upperclassmen quota usually being only about 5 and freshman quota is about 40.....and there are about 50 sophomores who rush, the juniors don't have much of a chance. It is sad, and I don't necessarily agree, but at many schools it is hard to have juniors and seniors join because of getting them big sisters, letting them have an older mentor, etc... What I'm basically saying is that you NEED to find out your school's policy on non-freshmen rushing. Please understand that people who respond to this ARE trying to help you, but every school is different. Don't solely reply on the posts. Call your greek affairs office and talk to the person in charge. Explain your concerns. Also, try to meet more people at night. Within the 1st week of classes, I knew the reputations of all the sororities and fraternities (although I didn't listen to them or I would never have wound up joining mine!) You will be able to sense a lot about the different groups by meeting the members head on. Here is the link to the U of H sororities listed on greekpages.com. In the Alpha Chi Omega site, it says to contact Josey Evans (jwevans@bayou.uh.edu) or the Campus Activities Office ((713) 743-5180) or http://www.uh.edu/greek/national/HCPA/. This should give you a good place to start. Check out their webpages!!! Good luck! I wish you the best! |
First of all, i would like to thank everyone that replied to my questions. I am new to this, but i really like how many people actually read the message boards and reply to them. I just want to clear up that i was not looking at it negatively, but just realisticly. Its true that the whole "freshman only" rule applies to some school and not to others. I know for a fact that at my school they accept non freshman as well. The good thing is that i am still just a sophomore so its not as bad. I dont know how they go about with juniors and seniors. Oh, and thank you for finding out all of that information for me about the web page with all the sororities... i've been looking at that page quite a few times!!! I have also been emailing Josey Evans, who is the panhellenic advisor. She is aware I am a transfer student and interested in informal rush. There are a few girls in a class of mine that are in sororities. Here at U of H, we have 6 sororities which are Alpha Chi Omega, Chi Omega, Delta Gamma, Delta Zeta, Phi Mu and Zeta Tau Alpha. Of those 6, there are 3 girls in AXO in my class, 2 in DG, and 1 in ZTA. They seem like they only talk to the girls in their own sorority, except for the one in ZTA, she doesnt talk to anyone in there. I guess i feel intimidated by them for some reason. I know i shouldnt feel like that, but thats why i havent talked to them already. About talking to them at night... U of H is a big commuter school, and i happen to fit in that catagory. I am living at home this year. It takes me about 30 minutes to get to school. To make a long story short, i unfortunately just go to class and come back... thats why i want to join a sorority to get involved with the school and community. So, right now i am not experiencing much of a "college life". Hopefully that will change soon http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif In rushing i also have to think about that because i know sororities have many functions and not living close to school might be a hassle sometimes, but i know that if i truely want to be in one, i will make it work! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I really appreciate everyone's advice for me, thanks a bunch!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I guess now, im still wondering a little more about informal rush. Is it usually one day only? and can you go to as many houses as you want during this time, or do you usually just go to the house you want to be in?

Well just as an update, i have been emailing this girl in a sorority at my school. She has been telling me a little more about rush and informal rush as well. She is also a sophomore and she just rushed this fall. She is a Phi Mu. She seems like a really sweet girl. I was telling her how i dont live on campus, and it turns out that she lives about 40 minutes away from school which is longer than what it takes me. She is very interested in answering any of my questions. I think i might email atleast one girl from every sorority at U of H. Please, if you are in a sorority at U of H, let me know! Thanks to everyone else too for giving me great advice! Right now I am liking all the sororities on campus. I cant really base it on anything though. I just like everyone's color, symbols, and philanthrophy!! Hopefully soon I will be either an AXO, XO, DZ, DG, ZTA, or PM!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

This doesnt necessarily have to deal with direct "informal rush", but it is a question i have pertaining a sorority. Knowing some more information on it might make me not want to rush it anymore. As you all know, i am interested in spring rush, but dont have a clue which sorority house i would like to be. In another post i read somethings where this girl posted the secrets to Chi Omega. She is not in that sorority anymore and that was her reason for posting it, she also wrote typed the secret handshake on there. I was reading it, and some of those things seem so harsh. I dont reall think its true considering the fact that why would any girl want to go through that just to be in a sorority. What do you guys think about it?
|
Okay well i have great news!!! I just randomly IMed this girl that is a new member of AXO,i got her sn from the alpha chi chapter at my school. We ended up talking for a really long time! She seems like the nicest and sweetest girl in the world!! She even set up a lunch date for us to meet next week. Another thing she mentioned was for me to go with her to some of the parties so i can see other girls in different sororities. She wants me to see them and also meet them because she has friends in other sororities besides AXO. She is doing this to help me and not soley to recruit members for AXO. Me being happy and comfortable is my first priority! She mentioned going to the parties with her and her sorority sisters. When i mentioned to her that she doesnt even know what i look like she replied with "what does that matter". This is a complete opposite from the sorority girls in my old school. I am apprehensive about meeting her, but i think its going to be a BIG step towards the positive!! I am so exctied i got a chance to meet her! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Hey there. About your post on the secrets of XO. That girl went to SHSU so I'm right near it all. Please just ignore all of that. That subject took over this board & many members (& ME) for days. I think it's great that you're going to finally meet one of the girls. That's how I started. Once you meet one girl, she will more than likely introduce you to everyone she knows. That's the best feeling. If you're interested in all the sororites, you may want ask if you can specifically meet a few XOs so you can see how they are at U of H. I've met XOs at SHSU & they were nothing like she said they were. They were really sweet, a little forward, but fun girls. WOW, the AXO you talked to asked you to go to some parties. That is really awesome. I'm so happy for you & hope you have a great time!! Talk to you soon. Allison |
Dear Allison,
Yes, the axo i talked to asked me if i could go to a party with her and some of her sorority sisters sometime this week or sometime soon. As we were talking on AOL instant messneger, she asked me if she could call me instead because her fingers were getting tired! Someone at my house was on the phone so thats why we decided to still stay on here. I cant get over how nice she was, she a cheerleader at our school too so that may have something to do with it http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I dont know what is going to happen concerning rush, but when i talked to her last night i felt so comfortable and loved. She told me that all her sorority sisters are awesome and caring. I felt like a connection with her and would love to have a friend like her and many more too!! You cant ever have enough friends. Although, with all this said and done.... i havent actually met her. The way she talked, she made it seem like we were going to like each other no matter what. I hope we do both get along really well. I am a little nervous on how to dress and to look "cute", i know everyone says to be yourself, and im not saying i am not trying to go for that, but first impressions are always important. I just want to look nice and give a great first impression. She mentioned our "lunch date" and asked me if i would be okay with her brining some of her sisters along, but i told her that for our first meet i would feel 100% more comfortable with only her. I would feel very intimidated otherwise. Anyway, i hope everything turns out great! I dont think i will be meeting her until next week though. This is definitely a good sign right? I hope she likes me!! [This message has been edited by bucutie02 (edited October 16, 2000).] |

hey AXO Alum....thanks for saying i type "cute" http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Well yes she is making me feel SO comfortable.... i would love to pledge AXO is all the girls are as sweet as she is. I cant believe that she wants me to come along with her to the parties. It just seems weird how she already likes me without even knowing what i look like or having met me in person! Anyway, this other girl from Phi Mu wants to meet me as well for lunch!! It seems like i am going to be having many lunch dates http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif That is so great... its like one minute i felt like i didnt know anyone and the next minute i have all these people wanting to eat lunch with me!! how awesome is that!!

I LOVED informal rush. To me the whole experience of formal rush was a tense week of activities that were planned to a T and a lot of hype. Not only are the girls going through rush aprehensive, excited, and full of expectations, but so are the sororities. Formal rush, in my opinion, is worse AND less productive than informal. Again, just my opinion. I loved informal rush because it was MUCH more relaxed, you weren't hurried to get to the next sorority, you could stay and talk to people as long as you wanted. The memebers were more relaxed too. I feel it was a much better way to socialize and to find out information. I don't want to sound mean, but to be honest, when holding formal rush, there were often times moments where I couldn't remember names of girls, I'd be rushed to talk to everyone and I would even forget faces. It's not a good scenerio. During informal rush, I was able to talk to people at my leasure and at their own. It was easier to remember faces because I wasn't worried about getting more food out in time for the next group of girls. Anyway, just my two cents. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Well here is an update on me... i havent met any of the girls yet, but the one i have been emailing, the Phi Mu, mentioned we should meet for lunch sometime. Therefore, i have a planned lunch date with an alpha chi, and a phi mu. I am actually nervous about meeting them. I guess once i meet them and we start talking, it will be fine. The entire walking to the place, looking for them, and then start walking towards them is the scary part. I know i am going to be wondering what she is thinking of me and i hope she doesnt think "oh, i hope thats not the girl im meeting for lunch". I am not having a bad attitude about this, i honestly think its nice of them to want to meet me and if we get along, ill have a better chance to get in a sorority than if i dont meet them. I guess its because sometimes i tend to think that all the girls in sororities are blonde and blue eyed. Sometimes i feel like i dont look like a sorority girl even though there isnt a certain "look" they have. Ahhh... i dont really fully know what im trying to say, i hope someone out there does!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

LOL girlie, you sound like too much fun! At least you're not like me. When I get really nervous I get SICK! I feel so nauseated & it's just the worst. I swear I spent the whole morning, before I went to meet some girls, hanging over the toilet. I was a sight!! Now I can't believe I was so nervous, they're just like me & I'm way too normal around them http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Hope you make it through lunch (at the table & not in the bathroom that is) & make some new friends while you're there. GOOD LUCK!
Allison *embarrassed now* |
Well I am nervous about meeting these girls for lunch, keep in mind that i will only meet ONE one day and the other the next day. I think meeting one sorority girl at a time is good for me, well atleast in the beginning. If i meet her and get along then I say "Bring them all on" haha, just kidding, but i do hope i lose my "nervousness"(if thats even a word!). Well I have a lunch date set with the Phi Mu a week from tomorrow, so i guess I can set the one with the Alpha Chi on tuesday. I am only on campus those two days, so that works out the best for me http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Delta Zeta has some kind of "show" going on for tomorrow, i think its called Gong Show, i could be wrong, i forget. Anyway, the only reason I know of it is because since i emailed a DZ to find out information on her sorority, she told me about it. I really want to go, but since i hardly know anyone at school right now, its hard. The people I have met this year are cool, but we arent at that stage where we hang out, does anyone know what im talking about?? I am not trying to sound like a snob, but its not like when you meet a perfect stranger you'll ask them to go out with you somewhere. Well...actually i guess i could ask one the them....the thing is that they commute to school as well and dont live close to me at all. I might go ahead and ask this girl i have known since the second grade. She goes to school there and lives in the dorms. Now I am just wondering when it ends because i have to drive home ALONE afterwards. I know you guys might think im silly but lets keep in mind the following....I didnt even take drivers ed. until the summer before senior year(drill team kept me too busy, thats why) and i didnt get a car until a year ago. Anyways, until i started going to UH this year, i never drove on the freeway. My first day of school my parents and I were nervous for me. The thought of people going 65mph,70, or worse blew my mind! Well.... i am doing great, and i like to drive on the far left lane where all the "speedy" drivers get on. My fear for highways are gone! I dont really like to drive on there at night though... thats why going to see the show tomorrow might be a problem. OH!! I think its today... i was just reading her email and she referred to it as tomorrow but she wrote it last night. I guess i wont be able to go anyway since i work today. I get out at 630, and it starts at 7pm. With houston traffic, ill be lucky if i get there to see any of the show! Oh well... i guess it wasnt meant to be. Next week ALL the sororities and fraternities are putting on a show that is called "strut your stuff" i think. I really want to go to that!! Hopefully ill find someone to go with!!

I'm really glad to hear that everything is going good. It's great that you're getting things set up. I really hope you get to go to that show. I've never gone to one, but have heard the stories & they are too funny! Keep us posted! Allison |
Did I see a DZ in there? WOO WOO. I love my DZ sisters! Guess I'm partial. . .but what the heck GO DZ!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif
hehe. hehe. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif |
Hey UH people!
Do y'all still have the Frontier Fiesta? My older cousin, who was president of DZ there, used to take me when a was a child. |
Well i did mention something about Delta Zeta, they are having their annual Gong Show tonight. I was emailed by a DZ inviting me to come, but i had to work so i was unable to make it. Delta Zeta is one of 6 sororities on campus. The other 5 are Delta Gamma, Alpha Chi Omega, Phi Mu, Chi Omega, and Zeta Tau Alpha. About frontier fiesta, for those of you that dont know its like this really big thing at my school. Although I have not attended one yet since its held in the spring and this is my first year here.... i have heard things about it. Every sorority pairs up with a fraternity and they have a performance. It is a competition and supposedly a HUGE event! Besides that they have bbq and many more things. A lot of people come out that weekend to see the show. I think its held for one entire weekend and they perform several nights. I cant wait to go this year and hey... i might actually perform if i make a sorority, ahh... how cool is that?!?! I was on drill team in high school and since then i havent performed, so that might be a fun idea!! Okay, for those who have been following up on my life... haha i feel like a computer version of Ed TV...anyway, i have a SET lunch date with the Phi Mu. How silly am I, yesterday i went out and bought a cute shirt to wear on that day and i went to this alteration place to get my black pants hemmed. They wont be ready until tuesday, but since lunch isnt until thursday, no biggie! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I am nuts!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Well i am going to have lunch with the alpha chi sometime soon, but i havent talked to her in a couple of days. We are going to have to compare schedules. Well everyone keep in touch, AXO alum... i havent heard from you recently!

Hey bucutie.. I am so excited for you! I can't wait to find out how your lunch dates go. I am so addicted to this now-this is more addicting that my soaps(any soap opera fans agree with me on this one?)I can't wait to hear all about it! And now I am even more pumped since you were talking about DZ. You should really check them out. If they are anything like my sisters, they are really down-to-earth, nice, and so sweet! Let me know how everything goes...and good luck :-)

Wow, that is so awesome, i had just posted my reply and i saw yours honeybee! Haha, i am so with you on the part about how addicting this is to me! Ya'll should have seen me the first night I got on this. I read almost every post up here. I cant even remember how i got here, but im glad i did. Everyone on here is so wonderful.

Last night i was casually telling my parents that next thursday all the sororities and fraternities are putting on a show called "strut your stuff". Anyway then my dad said that sororities and fraternities arent good, and they are all too wild. Even though I am not in one right now, i plan to rush so it offended me. He said that all they do is party and my mom agreed with him in a way. Then I started thinking.... I am not wild nor have i ever gotten drunk. I know that there are different types of people in sororities. Some do drink and are wild, but others arent. If i were to get in to one, i dont think i would change and become a wild girl. Even though i still want to rush, my parents opinion matters me to a lot, and i dont want to be involved in something they dont approve of. What is everyone's comment on this?
|
bucutie02--Ask your parents why they feel the way the do about Greek Life. Did they have poor experiences with Greeks in college? Are they basing their opinions on the media? Ask them if they've had any experience with Greeks at your school. Greek life can be like night and day at different schools.
"If i were to get in to one, i dont think i would change and become a wild girl." Most likely you're right. Ask your parents if they're concerned that you will change, or that they just don't want you to be around "wild" people. If they're concerned that you'll change; ask for examples of you doing this in the past. If you hadn't, then why do thy feel that way? "Even though i still want to rush, my parents opinion matters me to a lot, and i dont want to be involved in something they dont approve of." There is nothing wrong with caring about your parents opinion. But rushing doesn't mean that you have to join a sorority. You could decide on your own that the Greek life at your school is not what you want to be a part of. I suggest rushing and deciding on your own if it's what you want. If it is what you want, you can then discuss with your parents any concerns that you or they may have. Once you meet some members you'll have specific examples to counter their negative opinions. Also, if you decide to join, the members or chapter advisors can talk things over with your parents. Check with the Greek Life office at your campus and see if they have any informational pamphlets for parents. Good Luck! p.s. I know that this topic has come up quite often on these boards. Do a few searches and you should be able to find quite a bit of advise. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif |
Yeah, Q-T Pie asked the same question and got some good responses in the past month!
|
Thanks for letting me know about that post that Q-T Pie had posted on here about parents not agreeing on rushing a sorority. That helped a lot! Well i am going to take everyone's advice... and first meet a couple of girls, and if I am still interested in rushing, i will talk with my parents. As all of you must already know, i am meeting a girl this thursday. Hopefully things will work out okay, she seems pretty nice. I will keep everyone updated as soon as i meet her. Does anyone know if you have preference night and bid day for informal rush? i know its different at other schools, but i just want to know what other schools do. I am not sure what they do at mine, but i have emailed some sorority members asking them that.

Hey Rosanna
I am so glad that you have set dates, the hardest part is usually the scheduling. I do hate to hear that your parents aren't exactly for the sorority experience. At first my parents weren't but I think there coming around. I started to get my mom involved more & she can now see how excited I am about this & how nice the girls are (I'm always talking about them). Also Barbara helped me out by sending me a few brochures for my parent's to read. I think that showing your parents how much this means to you & how excited you are about it may help a bit. I'll be checking in to see how it goes! Oh, I've been waiting to talk to you for about 3 days now. I too am so excited. One of the girls birthdays was on the 13th & we finally got together this Thursday. We grabbed dinner & looked for little sis presents, but had a total blast. She was so honest with me about everything & answered all of my questions. She even invited me to their monthly dinner that they have before their meetings. I feel almost excited as you sound. Anyway, hope to see you on IM so we can chat!! Take care girlie. Allison |

Oh... yesterday i had an accounting test, and this one AXO that has been emailing me told me that their house is on this one street i always drive by... so yesterday i tried to look and i found it!! Its not your typical sorority house, its really small. I think only about 2 or 3 girls live there, but its nice to have like small parties or meetings there. I dont know where the other houses are, but its defintely the prettiest house on the street. I dont think any other sorority or fraternity houses are on that street. Actually not all the sororities have a house yet... only 3/6 i think. Anyway... it was really cute decorated... it had a wreath on the door, and i liked the brick too!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif hehe, sorry guys... i could go on and on about it but ill stop now http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif This thursday is the big day... i already have my outfit picked out http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Ill let you know what happens.... have an awesome weekend everyone.... well whats left of it!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

You can't possibly believe that what one girl or group of girls did means that every other girl in her sorority nation wide will also do it. What about that Carolina football player whos on trial for murder? Are all Carolina players murderers? I think you see my point. Don't count them out until you see the house & the grils for yourself.

HeidiHo-- I have read way too many things already on that, and i dont think you should bring it up on here when clearly no one has even mentioned it again. You are just bringing up an old topic that doesnt need to be re-lit. I commend you posting how strongly you feel about Chi Omega, but in that topic, i did not cut down chi omega at all whatsoever, let alone all of them across the nation. It just stated that what happened at Sam Houston was harsh and if that is what it took for girls to be in that sorority there than its not worth it. It never said anything about nationwide, or how bad chi omega is. Please dont start something up again. There are already a couple of posts somewhere else if you choose to continue talking about it.

I have heard things about a certain sorority, and i know i shouldnt base my mind on what other people say, but since its informal rush what im going to go through, i wont be able to attend every sorority's functions. About this certain sorority, i've heard things like they arent very active on campus and basically known as your "party" sorority. Thats only what i have heard. Well there is a member of this sorority in one of my classes. I used to see her in class all the time until recently she stopped going. Well i guess she stopped coming around a month ago. Every like 4th or 5th clases she shows up. Then yesterday she went to class and after 15 minutes had passed, she got up and left. I dont know if she just doesnt want to go to class, or she actually has things to do. The way I see it is that if you are going to school, you shouldnt have anything more important to do. Well except the obvious like family emergency or whatever. I dont know if I should decide to not rush them or just cut out all these things I have heard about the sorority and the memeber who never comes to class out of my mind. The only good thing about not rushing them would be i only have 5 sororities to choose from instead of 6. BUT... i dont "really" know what they are like. I need help, AHHH!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif [This message has been edited by bucutie02 (edited October 27, 2000).] |
bucutie02-Hello?! On 10/15/00 YOU brought it up! I quoted you from the previous page. I think that I made a point that was important. If you don't want to hear about it maybe you should take you own advice & not bring the whole thing up.

okay, well i ADMITTED that i brought it up, AND i also said that no one else, except Q-T pie replied to that... anyway... that post was a while ago and not something that we have continued talking about. I was simply stating that you shouldnt bring it up again because it might cause i big mess again like i have seen on other posts. Its a shame you cant reply calmly without getting an attitude. There is no need to get so worked up about it... i never meant it with intentions of being rude. You on the other hand did, and its obvious by the way you typed and with the mad face in your reply. You just need to calm down and not think that people are getting mad at you when you in fact dont know at all. I dont want you upset, i never meant for that. If i came off that way then im sorry. I hope we can be friends http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

To All
Since I'm am & was in a similar situation that Rosanna is in, I hope I can speak for us both. When going through formal rush, we want to know as much about each sorority as possible. It is imperitive that we are informaed in order for us to make an educated & whole hearted choice in something that is not extremely structure (informal rush). I think Rosanna had heard something & was just trying to find out all she could. It was an innocent question, that I myself would have asked. Yes, I support XO, but now that the subject is dying out, lets try not to restart the fire. Rosanna I haven't seen you online girlie. How are things going in H-town??

Hey Allison!
Things here are going well, have you read my comment about how i might not be interested to rush a certain sorority because of what i have heard and what i have seen? What do you think about it? This actually goes to everyone that wants to give me advice, all is welcome. Oh and Allison, thanks for supporting me on that unfriendly situation- and yes that pretty much sums up what i believe too. Yeah i havent been online lately, i have been real busy with school. I got a B on my accounting exam, yay!! I know its not an A, but its still good! Well let me stay on the topic on "informal rush" and not drift into other things.. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif So anyway, i am unsure about that certain sorority and what to do. Let me know what you think!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif |
