Rush at American
 

Formal Rush starts tomorrow here at American University! Everyone's getting pretty pumped up... supposedly there are a good number of girls coming through, and we're all excited. Round one is tomorrow, with the Philanthropy party, and Round Two is Saturday, which is the second open party, then it continues next Friday with Theme and Saturday with pref, and Sunday is Calling Out. I'll be sure to keep y'all posted on who wore what, said what, how skits went, and all the rest of it... I love rush from this side!! Last year I was Panhel Exec Board, so I didn't get to go through it with my sisters, so I'm really psyched. Wish us luck, and I'll post more tomorrow!

I'm so glad you are posting from your point of view! Thanks and I look forward to hearing all the scoop!

P.S.- Best of luck with your recruitment!! :)

WHEW!!!

It's over! We made it through the first round!

Tonight was Philanthropy. It was the first year we've done a philanthropy party, so we were a little worried it wouldn't go well, but it ROCKED. We wore jeans, sneakers, and white shirts that said "There's No Excuse for Domestic Abuse" in purple writing. Purple balloons, a philanthropy table, and served hot chocolate (which the girls LOVED- different from the other juices and sodas, plus it was cold out :) ). For the craft we made bags with small toiletries for women in shelters- toothpaste, deodarant, tampons, shaving cream, etc. and tied them with purple ribbons to be donated to the House of Ruth.

Some high quality girls out there- met some that I absolutely ADORED, and of course some I wasn't too crazy about- but that's rush, it's what happens :). Word is that we were top on the girls' lists b/c our craft was a happy medium- some chapters had the girls write letters to NY firefighters or sick children, which they felt was a little too personal for a first party. But I think everyone overall did really well- we were all so pumped that it was finally here!

Funny note...after the parties, I walked out and some members from XYZ were standing in the hallways talking about how they hated rush. One girl ACTUALLY SAID "Ugh, I had this one girl who sucked. I told her I had a sexually transmitted disease and that she needed one to get into our sorority."

OH MY GOD.... who let this girl out of her cage??

I'll keep y'all posted... tomorrow goes ALL DAY!

Love

Maya,
Glad your first round went so well. I LOVE your philanthropy idea! I am familiar with House of Ruth and it's such a wonderful organization; I know the ladies there will appreciate AXO's support!

Keep us posted!

Really sounds wonderful! I agree about the letters, it's uncomfortable for some people to put pen to paper on short notice.
Your philanthropy is something every woman can relate to!
