Okay well I am graduating next year in May..... and I have always wanted to rush, ever since i was a freshman.

I am not 100% sure, more like 80% that I will be rushing this fall. Its my last chance and I need to give it a try. My school isnt cut throat like other schools are about juniors and seniors rushing, so I think I have a good enough chance as the freshman that are going to rush.

Wish me luck!;)

My school has:
Alpha Chi Omega
Chi Omege
Delta Gamma
Delta Zeta
Phi Mu
Zeta Tau Alpha

Yay!!!! I hope we get lots of rush threads!!!!!!

I LOVE rush threads!!!


Best of luck bucutie!!!! Keep us updated!!

hehe
 

Its actually University of Tennessee-Knoxville hehe but thats okay!! A lot of people have requested for me to keep them updated with posts about rush since its a big southern school, etc etc. I'm a northern girl (from Washington, DC) so it will be an experience! Good luck to all those rushing :D If you wanna hit me up, do so anytime on AIM: oUTfoxed83

Are there any members of the carnation family rushing?

Is justamom's son going through it at LSU?

I really got a kick out of hearing the stories from the mommies' sides! :D

My little sister is going through Rush at Western Kentucky University as a Freshman. I'm so excited because there's a really great AOII chapter there. Here are the other sororities:
AOII
Alpha Gamma Delta
Alpha Delta Pi
Chi Omega
Sigma Kappa
Kappa Delta
Phi Mu

Yay! I'm so excited! I **LOVE** Rush threads!!

Re: hehe
 

OOPS!!! DUH!

I fixed it!

I'm pretty sure that there is a year off and then next year carnation's next child heads to college. Of course, she still has one daughter in college that is not Greek that might rush.

And yes, I'd forgotten, but justamom's son is going through. I believe there's a thread somewhere about (or that at least mentions) his summer rush party invitations.

RedFox-

I'm from the DC area, but don't go to that school. I wish you the best of luck in recruitment! THe same goes to everyone else going through recruitment this next year!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Betty Ford should have a rehab program for rush thread addicts (of which I am one, lol). :)

I'm giving it some consideration

I'd be right there with you, RockChalk! My name is Christin, and I'm a Recruitment Addict. Yes, that includes reading Recruitment stories and threads.

Good luck to those who are going through recruitment, and to those who are thinking about it :)

Christin

Yep, I sure am! We have here at MTSU:

ADPi
AOPi
AXO
ZTA
KD
DZ
XO

I don't think I'll post about rush though since there are so many people on here from my school. I haven't decided. I'm really excited about 3 in particular, not excited about 1, and the other 3, I just simply don't know, but I'm totally prepared to love them! :) Does anyone know how competetive rush here at MTSU is? I'd love some advice from alum or actives from here...

Crystal

As to little carnations rushing:

BlazerCheer told us tonight that she wants to rush!:) :) :)

MTSUGURL if you don't post that's okay. Just check in and let us know that you're having a wonderful time and we'll all be happy addicts :D

And a big ole Hurrah for BlazerCheer!!!!!!

Christin

Hi!

I'll be rushing as a sophomore at Radford University in the fall!

We have:
-Alpha Sigma Alpha
-Alpha Sigma Tau
-Delta Zeta
-Phi Sigma Sigma
-Sigma Kappa
-Sigma Sigma Sigma
-Zeta Tau Alpha

I'll be sure to keep a little rush journal to organize my thoughts and keep you guys posted! ;)

An AST recruitment story!!
 

YAY Mandelion!!! An AST recruitment story!

I've been feeling left out!! I can't wait to hear how it goes. Good Luck!!

And I'm so proud/happy for BlazerCheer giving it another shot! Can't wait to hear her story too!

How EXCITING!!!! I do hope you will keep us updated!!!!! :)

Which thread is this, and how did I miss it???

aurora borealis, what a great attitude you have!!! You will make one of those GLOs a stellar member. By going through recruitment with such an open mind, you will get the most out of the whole experience. Good luck and keep us posted!!!

good for her
 

carnation....glad blazercheer is going to give it another shot. hope her year has gone well and the cheerleading has been all she thought it would be.
lol
:D

Well please do share with us if you decide to go through with it! We'll support you 100% :)


.....Kelly :)

Yeah!! :D

She probably saw how much fun her sister was having a decided to give it another go. :)

Do you think she's likely to want to be in the same chapter as her "twin"?

.....Kelly :)

I'm thinking about rushing (whether it'll be fall or spring I'm not sure because I don't even know how it works at my school! Greek Life is so small...)
But I'm considering it...*much thanks to GC for that!*

See...this is exactly why I want to rush
 

See this is why I want to rush...I want sisters who support me 100% no matter what I do. I love the fact that even on here people are so open, friendly, and supportive. It makes me want to rush so much more. Thanks to all those who have responded to my questions! Now I basically know what to expect (from my school anyway) and the process of going through rush in general. I hear it can be a pretty rough process but all the people that were previously mentioned sound like really nice girls and I'm sure would make a great addition to any sorority. Good luck girls and PM me anytime! I love to meet new people and fellow rushees and sisters! *Luvies*;)

Seriously, I must be PMSing because I am all tearyeyed at this thread, thinking of rush and all the new sisters!!!
God bless their precious little hearts!

LOL oh that was too cute ilovemyglo! :) I agree. Good luck to everyone involved and we will be here to support you! :)

I totally agree ilovemyglo!!!

Even though I have only been an official sister for about a week, I have got so much support and love from the girls since I was an Alpha, and I can't wait to be able to share all of that with our new members :)

Re: Who's rushing in the fall???
 

yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :D

It's here

Here's what JAM said:

MTSU, you can do what a few other girls have done, if you think we can take the suspense - wait until AFTER rush and then post a blow by blow account (not naming names if you like) - that way it won't impact your rush process.

Aurora, I'm confused, I thought you were already Greek! Guess that means you were just meant to be Greek. :D

I'm getting so excited for everyone already!

My friend will be rushing at USC. I just pm'd her to see if she wants to do this incognito or not - it really should be her decision! :) I'm not sure which sororities are at USC.

honeychile

which usc? university of south carolina or university of southern california?

U of Southern CA. I still haven't heard from her about her identity.

honeychile

I'm THINKING about rushing...

Aurora, good luck. Hopefully the third school will be the charm for you!

Question
 

For all of us out there who have done the rush thing more than once I have a really strong question and I imagine answers will vary depending on organization, BUT how do you look at those girls you've seen on campus who have rushed and who are back?

I remember being at the rec center after rush and a girl whom I had math with asked did you end up anywhere and I said no and she said the system sucks and quite a few girls asked me this. I'll be walking around campus and some girls will smile at me and seem really nice.

So, now we're at the parties ok and I don't see these girls, I get paired with someone I haven't even met, but that's fine, I like to meet new people and learn their interests. BUT are the girls that smile to me on campus and are polite to me, are they allowed to vote for me if they did not technically talk with me at the party?

I think every sorority has a slightly different voting system. However, the way we do it (I don't think this is privileged information) is that anyone who knows the girl has a say.

Reason: Imagine this totally psycho girl from your high school is rushing. You know she tortures squirrels. But she seems sweet on first meeting her. Obviously, the sorority would benefit from your information. It works in reverse too: A really great girl seems shy, but you know she's just nervous, not stuck up.

Re: Question
 

I don't think this varies on the organization.. I think this varies more with the individual people.
