Cheerflyer’s 2011 rush at Bama
Ok so here’s my story of rush at Bama
I’m not including DG in my listing since they are only in the first round. Since I love shoes, who doesn’t:), my names for the houses will be: BETTYE MULLER CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN EMMA HOPE FOOTCANDY HUNTER JIMMY CHOO KATE SPADE LOEFFLER RANDALL MANOLO BLAHNIK PACIOTTI PATRICIA GREEN SIGERSON MORRISON TORY BURCH VALENTINO VINCE CAMUTO |
Yay for shoes! :) I am rooting for Tory Burch.
Even though DG is not included, could you tell us what you thought of their presentation when you share about round one? |

Pre conceived notions
I have been planning for this week for a year. I am so excited that it is finally happening. BTW I have multiple recs for all houses except one I only had one for that house. My HS GPA is over 3.9. This is what I have heard about the houses.
BETTYE MULLER Heard that this is a very strong chapter with many beauty queens and the highest GPA. I know one girl that pledged hear last year. CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN I have heard good things about this chapter from friends and I know that they had a great advisor! EMMA HOPE Heard that this is a very strong chapter, doesn’t take OOS, or girls outside of their social stratum. FOOTCANDY I have heard almost nothing about this chapter. HUNTER I have very little knowledge about this chapter. A few girls from HS pledged here and based on that I am not interested. JIMMY CHOO Heard that this is a very strong chapter with many great girls. A friend pledged here last year. KATE SPADE Heard that this is a very strong chapter with many great girls. I know a few from HS that have pledged here. I have never heard anything bad about them. LOEFFLER RANDALL I know a few girls from HS that pledged here and ones at other campuses. MANOLO BLAHNIK I have no knowledge about this chapter. PACIOTTI I have very little knowledge about this chapter. PATRICIA GREEN Heard that this is a very strong chapter. SIGERSON MORRISON My strongest rec of all is for this chapter from an Ole Miss alum. TORY BURCH Heard that this is a strong chapter with many great girls. I know a couple from HS. VALENTINO I know a couple of girls from HS that pledged here and have heard great thing about this chapter. VINCE CAMUTO I know a few girls from HS that pledged here as well as ones at other campuses. |

Carry on, Cheerflyer! This sounds like a good one! |
OPEN HOUSE aka Ice Water Teas
Day 1
EMMA HOPE This is my first stop today. While waiting to go in a girl in my group kept talking about how she was a legacy and should get a bid from them. Once we went in I was very nervous and had a hard time keeping conversations moving along. All of the girls are so put together. If this is how rush is going to be I will be a complete failure. FOOTCANDY This is my second house today and I am still very nervous. I liked all of the girls who rushed me. They were funny and nice. Most seemed to know something about me and they made me feel comfortable. I liked this house and hope to be invited back. BETTYE MULLER While waiting to go in there was a lot of talk from girls in my group about this house. OMG I didn’t know this many gorgeous girls were together outside of Hollywood! They were all so nice and seemed to know all about me. The conversation was easy. I liked this house a lot! KATE SPADE Again there was lots of talk in my group about this house. Everything I had heard before seems to be true. What a great group of girls. Conversation was so easy I was matched with girls in my major. This could be my new home! I loved it here and did not want to leave. I just had a great feeling about them. I hope they liked me too. HUNTER Lots of talk while waiting to go inside. I had a hard time staying silent since so much talk lined up with my thoughts of girls I know in this house. Well sometimes you just know in advance. These girls are the same as they were in HS. I will not return to this house! PATRICIA GREEN Everyone here seemed nice but after awkward conversations I had zero connections with anyone. I didn’t feel like I could be myself. Strictly on reputation if I get an invite back I‘ll give it another try. PACIOTTI The first girl I talked with didn’t seem to be interested in me or know anything about me. The next 2 girls I spoke with were very sweet and easy to talk with. I like it here and hope to come back. dgdramadawg has asked that I comment on the Delta Gamma presentation so here goes. The DG presentation was very polished. It was clear that they have had a long legacy at the Capstone, I know 2 from the seventies. I had already seen the pictures of their new house here on GC. OMG is it beautiful or what. Back to the presentation I think that many rushees that didn’t get their top choice may have dropped thinking about DG. Based on what I saw any rushee here at Bama would be proud to be a Delta Gamma. |

Hunter sounds awful. I'm glad I wasn't rooting for them. |

OPEN HOUSE aka Ice Water Teas day 2
Day 2
SIGERSON MORRISON The girls I met today were very nice and we had a good conversation but I didn’t feel any connection. TORY BURCH Easy conversation with everyone I met. Very sweet girls, I hope to be invited back. MANOLO BLAHNIK I am really getting tired of all of this negative talk while waiting to go into some of these houses. The girls here were very nice to me. Several knew a lot about me and we had great conversations but it just didn’t seem to click for me. VINCE CAMUTO Didn’t get to see the girls I knew here today but had a good time and good conversations. I think that I really connected with one of them. LOEFFLER RANDALL I saw some of the girls I know but didn’t get to talk with any of them. Good conversation some hard laughing. I like them and hope to come back. JIMMY CHOO I only saw my friend from across the room but I had a great time and good conversations with the girls I felt several connections being made. Best time of the day, they all made me so very comfortable. Do I have to leave? VALENTINO I didn’t see the girls I know that are in this chapter. The ones I met were very nice and sweet. The conversations were easy and I think that I connected with one of them. CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN All the girls I met were so nice and all knew something about me. We had a nice conversation but I didn’t feel any connection. The last two days have been brutal, my feet hurt and I am so tired. My ranking after the first round are: 1 JIMMY CHOO and KATE SPADE 3 BETTYE MULLER 4 TORY BURCH 5 FOOTCANDY 6 VALENTINO 7 VINCE CAMUTO 8 EMMA HOPE 9 PACIOTTI 10 LOEFFLER RANDALL 11 CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN 12 PATRICIA GREEN 13 SIGERSON MORRISON 14 MANOLO BLAHNIK 15 HUNTER |
Loving your story so far. Short, sweet, and to the point :)

Unexpected cuts
I was expecting cuts but this many this early caught me off guard I only have 10 houses for the second round. I know that’s better than many others still . . . On the positive side I have all of my top five so I am very blessed.

Philanthropy Party
Today all of the houses were telling us about their philanthropy.
Day 3 TORY BURCH I just couldn’t get excited about their philanthropy. Again very nice girls rushed me and I connected well with one. Still I had fun here today. I’m hoping for a third invitation. FOOTCANDY I didn’t seem to connect with the girls here today the way I did on Sunday. They were all still very nice. If I get invited back I’ll be happy to come, although they have dropped down my list. BETTYE MULLER Again I was matched with girls who knew a lot about me and two were in my major. I liked their philanthropy and their house is really pretty. I had fun talking with the girls I met. I really want to come back for the third round. Invite please! VALENTINO Again I had trouble connecting with a philanthropy. Talked with the girls I knew here today and it was a lot of fun but no strong connections. I hope to be invited back to get to know them better. VINCE CAMUTO I love their philanthropy, I was active in it in HS. The girls rushing me today were great and I connected with them. JIMMY CHOO What a great philanthropy. I had so much fun with the girls here today. I think I found my home, but what about Kate Spade? Can I just stay here and spend the night or at least a nap. I love it here! |
