Richmond Rush Thread
 

Hi everyone!

I posted before on the 'Who's Rushing in the Spring' thread, but I'm getting increasingly more excited about rush so I figured I would create my own rush thread. I'm going through formal Spring recruitment at the University of Richmond, which started this week. We have six chapters involved in formal recruitment.

Tuesday night was the first night, 'Go Greek' night. We went around to all of the sororities with our Rho Gamma groups and met and spoke with a bunch of the sisters. Each sorority prepared a very cute slide show. I had a really good time and surprised myself by not being very nervous at all. I made sure to ask lots of questions, and I even found out that some sisters and I had shared similar jobs or were even in the same classes this semester!

Yesterday we received our invites back for tonight. I got invited back to all six, but I was required to drop one. I knew a few other girls that got invited back to all of the sororities, so I figured that was pretty much the norm, but then I found out that a lot of the girls actually only got asked back to two or three.

Tonight is Philanthropy night. I will be visiting five of the sororities and learning more about each of their philanthropies and I think even doing some crafts :)

Friday I'll find out where I got invited back to again. Friday night is 'Sisterhood Night' and Saturday night is Pref Night. And then Sunday is obviously Bid Day.

I'm really excited about the whole process, and a lot less nervous than I was originally. I went into it with a pretty open mind and have already been impressed with some sororities that I wasn't very interested in prior.

I'll try to keep this updated!

Well that's great that you had such a good first night. Good luck and keep us updated!

Glad everything's gone well so far! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! :)

Hi pink and green!

One of my sorority sister's biological little sisters is also going through recruitment at Richmond! My friend is registered on GC as PreppyGirl... Anyway best of luck!

One of my very best friends form home is a sister of one of the sororities at Richmond. . . she is very excited about recruitment, this is her first time on the other side. Good luck, from what she says all the sororities are awesome!

Also, just a piece of advice and I noticed you didn't do this anyway, but I wouldn't mention anything negative about the sororities, because I know for a fact that there are girls from one of them on this board. You haven't done it that I have seen, but just letting you know :)

Sounds like things are going well for you! Keep us updated and Good luck! :)

So exciting for you!!! Thank you for feeding our addiction to recruitment stories. I can't wait to hear how it all works out for you.

Congrats on your invites... good luck, and have fun! :)

Good Luck and have fun!

Glad things are going so well! Keep us informed

so far so good. all the best for the rest of the week.
lol

Good Luck!! :D

First of all, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for your warm wishes :)

Last night I went back to five of the sororities for Philanthropy Night. I had an absolute ball doing arts-and-crafts activities and getting to know some more sisters, even though I'm not the most artistic person in the world. I was really impressed with some of the ideas the sororities had for fun activities, and I was glad to learn more about each of their philanthropies. I found myself to be especially interested in one of the sorority's philanthropies, and it's definitely something that I would really enjoy being involved with.

This morning I received my invites back and I will be going back to my top three choices tonight for Sisterhood night. I was excited because I received invitations from the three groups where I enjoyed myself the most and ultimately felt the most comfortable.

If there's anything you think I left out, let me know; otherwise, I'll keep updating :)

Wonderful
 

Congrats on your top three choices. Have a good time. Keep your mind open. Follow your heart. Be happy.

Congrats on getting your invites!

Wonderful news on the invites!! I am so happy for you and thanks for letting us know how you are doing. What an exciting time for you - sending best wishes your way for the rest of the week.

wow, sounds like you are having a blast... and can some one tell me what is "Sisterhood night" I never heard of it, (I may know it by a different name)

we do sisterhood night at my school. it's a night where each of the sororities gives the pnms a closer look at their sisterhood. some chapters do skits, others do slideshows or videos, or play games. I think it's kind of a "no frills" thing. Instead of having a "theme night" or really elaborate "skit night", we choose our own activity and don't spend alot of moneyon decorations. we also tell sisterhood stories on that night (we call them hallmark moments). It gives us a chance to get to know the pnm's better and express who we are as a sisterhood. does that make sense? it may vary dramatically from school to school, but that's how we do it here:D

thanks trisigmaAtl, now I get it.

It sounds like you're having a great experience. Can't wait to hear more! :)

Good Luck! Hope your rush experience continues to be amazing!

I'm glad to hear that you're having fun! My little sister is going through recruitment at Richmond, too! She just called and everything seems to be going well!

I'll post more info tomorrow!

perfect...perfect...perfect...
it sounds like a home run is a coming...
good luck. keep us in the loop.

congrats on your top choices...that is great.

hope the rest of rush is just as wonderful

I wonder how sisterhood night went and today is pref night.

Today is bid day! I hope dreams are coming true - and I hope well get to hear about it soon too!
