Who wants to read a sophomore rush story?
 

Hey everybody!

So, it’s fall semester of my sophomore year (yes, at UNC), and I’m rushing for the first time. ☺ I’ve had a mix of emotions leading up to this point, but I think that I’m doing the right thing. I came from out of state and had no real thoughts on sororities last year. I felt too overwhelmed with the start of classes and adjustment to college to pay much attention to rush, so I didn’t sign up, and now I regret it. I see so many girls enjoying their greek experiences & have heard so many positive things from older women about their sorority sisters being their best friends today, that I knew I had to take the chance and go through formal recruitment this year.

Now or never, right? Right.

So here we go. My Fall 2009 Formal Recruitment Story at UNC Chapel Hill, to be official.

I was just returning from kick off when I first wrote this into a Word document, and I have to say, it felt a little odd being a sophomore. I’m cognizant of the fact that there ARE plenty of sophomores going through rush, but we’re definitely a minority. Regardless, I resolved to be completely open minded.

Here are the 10 houses on campus, in random order:

Jackie Kennedy
Marilyn Monroe
Audrey Hepburn
Lucille Ball
Grace Kelly
Elizabeth Taylor
Coco Chanel
Judy Garland
Molly Ringwald
Zsa Zsa Gabor

For reference, the houses we have are: Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega, Kappa Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Pi Beta Phi, Phi Mu, Tri Delta, Tri Sigma, Zeta Tau Alpha.

Since last night was first round, my story will be continuing soon!!

Oh, and heads up, unless I'm writing for a class, I am kiiind of long winded! Be prepared to get your read on. ;)

Woot! 2 UNC stories this year :)
even though I am a Duke fan :D I wish you luck!

me, me...i want to hear your story!!

I'm excited to hear your story!

Trust me, everyone wants to read it. :) Post away, and good luck to you.

Ditto. I would say most people on here crave recruitment stories. Well, at least I do.

Good luck to you!

I can't wait to read this! Your code names are adorable.

TWO UNC STORIES?! Christmas already :D

Co-sign on loving the names! I'm rooting for Jackie O! :)

Go Heels!

I'm so in heaven (even as a Duke fan!). I can't wait to hear both your impressions as well as TarheelHoney's! Good luck!!

Well, even though I'm going to hold off with my story until recruitment's done, I should at least tell y'all that I loved first round! I had a great time. There are two chapters that I really fell in love with, and many others that I had fun at, as well. No matter how it turns out, I'm lucky to be going greek at UNC. :)

My thoughts exactly! Good luck tomorrow!

Do UNCLei and TarHeelHoney know each other? Either of you can answer lol. Just wondering if you two have bumped into each other :) (I'm completely unaware how many girls go through recruitment to be honest)

Not yet! And I think about 600 girls are going through recruitment this year, give or take.

I think it would be totally funny if you two ended up in the same house. Regardless, I hope you both have lots of fun! :)
