RayRay's RUSH!!!
 

Ok well I can finally start my thread!!

Rush begins tomorrow the 13th at San Francisco State, where there are 3 organizations. Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Phi and Phi Sigma Sigma. I'm a little nervous because I am transfering as a junior but I am so excited at the same time. In honor of the San Francisco area I will use 49ers, Giants and Gators (SF state's mascot)

The week looks like this:
Monday, Open House
Tuesday, Rush Party Night #1
Wednesday, Rush Party Night #2
Thursday, Preference Night
Friday, BID DAY!!!!!

Ok here I goooo!

good luck. i hope you have a great time and find your home!!

have fun...keep your eyes and heart open. who knows how it will end.
thinking good thoughts for you.

Good luck in your recruitment

Good luck!!! I'll cheer for the 49ers since I grew up liking them since my brother was a HUGE Joe Montana fan!!!

Good luck on recruitment!!

and just a reminder that when you're describing the parties, etc to make sure that you don't give anything that can identify who's who. I know there is at least one active GCer that is from SFSU.

With that said, looking forward to your feeding all of us Greek Chat rush addicts obsession.

Best of luck with recruitment! :)

YAY!!!!

I hope you have a great day today and have fun meeting all the groups on your campus!!!!

i am so glad your story is finally beginning! good luck this week!

Ok just got home and I have a headache!! I dont know how girls go through this with 10+ sororities, I only have 3! Oh but my headache isnt a bad headache its just taking everything in.

Well lets see where do i even start...

I was asked at the end of the night by one of the girls in my group which one I like the best and I simply replied "its hard to tell" And that was my complte honest answer. Tonight was so quick with each organization that I cant tell at the moment which group I felt the best in. However...

Giants- This group I felt that all my conversations were on a personal level rather the forced talking. I enjoyed this.

49ers- If i had more time with them I think the conversations would have gotten better more like the Giants. But this was my final group of the night so it went pretty quick.

Gators- Enjoyed this group however i felt that the conversations were a little to rehearsed. So that made it hard to talk.

Overall the night went well. I cant wait to have more time with each group tomorrow night. But like i said before i dont know which i like the best.

OOOH Question when another girl in my rush group asks me questions about which i like etc. should i answer back or just keep it to myself?

Thanks!

hi rayray!
just wanted to leave you a quick "good luck" from a fellow PNM.

I'd say that it's up to you whether or not you want to name favorites. My rush group is very open and honest and has good discussions, so I'm mostly ok with telling them who I like. It's nice to have a group of girls who are just as rushed and stressed as you to talk to things about, in addition to your rush counselor. =)

WOOHOO!

I'm glad to hear you had a great day 1!!!

As far as talking to the pnm's, you should do what you feel most comfortable with. I never went to FR on the pnm-side, so I couldn't tell you pros and/or cons of each. so all i can say is go with your gut instinct!

I hope you have a wonderful day 2!!!

I tend to believe that it is best to keep your thoughts on each chapter to yourself at the beginning of the process. There's something powerful about "declaring yourself" early in the process and then you might feel awkward later on when you either change your mind or get released. Toward the end, it may not be such a big deal and hopefully only done in a setting where you feel absolute trust with whoever you're speaking with. I know that I thought I was most interested in one group on day one, another group on day two, and then all of the sudden realized that there was one group that was consistently on my list was my true favorite, but being ignored!! Fortunately for me, I got it straight by preference. I don't know how it would have affected my thought process if I had actually told people what I was thinking throughout the week. Hope this is a helpful perspective. Have fun and good luck! :)

all the best today...

I know its alot to take in, but remember you are there to have fun too!! I know when I went through rush, one of my best friends went through with me and we were told to not say much about our thoughts on each group to keep us from influencing each other. Just remember that not everyone will have the same opinion of each house, so continue to keep an open heart if you do decide to discuss it!

Good Luck

Ditto! ;)

Keep us updated!!

Ok well I a fun night but I want to start off by saying that today i got a phone call from a family friend of our saying she went Pi Phi at chico!!! So congrats to her and the ladies of Pi Beta Phi!

So that news just totally pupmed me up for tonight. Tonight was so fun. I like it so much better then last night. Each group was so creative and all so sweet.


Gators: These girls love eachother and have a great sisterhood. You can totally tell, however I dont know if its the group for me. It was really hard to keep up a conversation but there is always tomorrow.

49ers: They had the most adorbale skit. You can tell a lot of time was put into it. it was awesome. I got a chance to really talk to these girls and have some great conversations. They were adorable.

Giants: Loved them! This group really stood out im my mind tonight. When i think back on the night i re-live this party and the girls i talked to.

So day 2 went really well. I'm having a lot of fun. And I have met some really cool girls in my group which makes it better considering i went into this alone. And these girls and I dont talk about our "favorites" Which i like. Its going to be fun to see what happens.

Until next time:D

so far...so good.
keep having fun and see what happens.

sounds like you had a great day!!!

best wishes for the rest of the week!

So tonight went so fast, but enjoyable fast. Every house had the cutest themes and the most creative skits to go along with it. I had a blast tonight!!
I have also made a few good friends throughout the process and I would have to say the best part is we dont talk about our "favorites" at all. I dont know if I'll even see them at pref parties tomorrow, but i think no matter what happens we'll still be friends.

Ok well a lil about tonight...

Giants: I really like these girls. I felt really comfortable with them and started seeing familiar faces who recognized me back. I had some really awesome conversations about anything and everything with these girls too.

Gators: I'm happy to say i had one of the best conversations out of the whole night with one of the girls. I felt tonight went so much better with them. But at this point I dont know if they are the fit for me.

49ers This group was so adorable. I really liked these girls, at least the ones i met. It was very hard to meet a lot of them but the ones I did talk to were fabulous.

So tomorrow is pref...kinda nervous, dont know if and how many I will get invited to. (the max is 2) This whole process has been so fun and whatever happens, happens. I'm glad I went through it.

Have a good one!

Best of luck! Dying to know about the invites. Sending you a PM

So its about 1am here in San Francisco, and yup I cant sleep. I have to much on my mind, but the good thing is I DID NOT get a phone call, that means that I'm going back tomorrow!!! Dont know for which house yet, but at least I know I'm going back. YAY!:D

may you have a wonderful sporting day today...
and may a true winner emerge.

YAY!!!!

I hope that you get to go back to your two favorites for Pref!!!

Good luck to you!

Good luck tonight and HAVE FUN!!!! I know you'll find your home soon, whatever it may be!

Good luck tonight!

Hi RayRay! I just now found your thread. Oops!

Anyway GOOD LUCK!!!!

Good luck!

The week is slowly coming to an end, and let me tell you I loved every moment of it! Tonight was amazing! I didnt expect to get 1 invite and let alone 2. Well yes I got invites from 49ers and Giants. They were my top 2. Each party was so unique and beautiful. What was most excitng about the night was that when i showed up ( I showed up right on time to hear my name called for the first party cuz I had prior plans) I saw the 2 girls from my rush group going to the first party with me. And at that moment me realized that we all had the same top choice. So that made my night even better. But there is always tomorrow so who knows if we'll end up together.

49ers: Tonight i am sad to say i didnt feel as much of a connection with them. I had like them a lot but it wasnt the same tonight. However if i end up here i know it was meant to be.

Giants: Absolutely loved. And tonight i really felt at home with these girls.

So now i wait...Tomorrow is bid day, at 12, but i wont be able to get to a comupter til tomorrow evening so dont get to impatient i will let everyone know. :D

Keeping fingers crossed for you!
