A&A's Family Member's Rush Story!!!
 

Okay... This will be the post for my cousin's rush story. Tomorrow is water party day!

She is attending Miss State Univ. There are six sororities...

Chi Omega http://www.msstate.edu/org/chiomega/
Delta Delta Delta http://www.msstate.edu/org/tridelta/
Delta Gamma http://www.msstate.edu/org/dg/
Kappa Delta http://www.msstate.edu/org/kd/
Phi Mu http://www.msstate.edu/org/phimu/
Zeta Tau Alpha http://www.msstate.edu/org/zta/

All the chapters are strong...(example... MS State's Delta Gamma chapter has won the Patrica Peterson Danielson award more times then any other Delta Gamma Chapter). Pre-rush membership numbers range between 110 and 140. Quota for the last several years has been in the 70s, putting most chapters over 200, after fall recruitment.

She is very excited... and is keeping an open mind. I will let you know how water day is tomorrow night... Rush ends on Bid Day Friday.

Wow -- is it just me, or is every sorority woman at MSU a knockout?

Best of luck to your cousin and thanks so much in advance for sharing her story with us!

Is Mississippi State the school they call "Ole Miss" or is that the University of Mississippi?

Sorry, now back to our originally scheduled thread...

Good luck to your cousin! I look forward to reading about her rush experience! :)

Ole Miss = University of Mississippi at Oxford
Mississippi State University = MSU in Starkville, MS

Oh boy, I've been waiting for this! Hail State!

A&A, you know those sororities are strong and she'd love any one that she chooses! Best of luck to her!

IvySpice-- I agree. I looked at their webpages and thought they were an ad for a beauty pageant!!! NO FAIR!!! LOL
They seem to have a really srong Greek system which is awesome!
I would be proud to be a member of any one of those houses.

Angels&Arrows-
Give your cousin a good luck wish from Louisiana! Hope she has tons of FUN!:D

Yay
 

I am so excited to hear another recruitment story. All of this is getting me excited for mine coming up! Wish your cousin good luck and I really do hope that she has a great and positive recruitment experience (I have read sooo many bad experiences here….it’s been getting me kind of scared since I too am new to the Greek system of things). Keep us informed! I can only hope the best for her! :)

WOW...they have some awesome houses!!! :) Wish your cousin good luck!!!!

Day 1... Water Day...

We (she) visited six houses...

I am going to keep everything in alphabetical order... As they were all the same and I would not want someone to put two-and-two together and figure out who she is/offend anyone, etc...

All the houses were smiling, fun, lots of spirit... At each house the president and/or rush chair spoke... greating all the PNMs, welcoming them to MSU and to recruitment. They also got a tour at each house. She said there was little difference in the structure of each party. Everyone was really nice and conversations were wonderful at each house... I would not say she has picked a favorite, but there are a few that she felt extra special at!!!

At two of the houses (that she really was impressed with and likes) the president and/or membership/rush chairman introduced themselves and said they had heard a lot of wonderful things about her... which of course put a little pip in her party/day...

The six houses at MSU and the parties she attended today are:
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Gamma
Kappa Delta
Phi Mu
Zeta Tau Alpha

She gets her invitations back tomorrow morning and may be invited to a max of six parties... she can attend five.

I will try to post in the morning where she is going... However, I might not have computer access again until LATE Wednesday night... Unless I can get Carnation to post for me... "cough, cough" :D

Invitations were picked up this morning...

Today is Philanthropy Day (5 parties)

She is going to:

Delta Delta Delta
Delta Gamma
Kappa Delta
Phi Mu
Zeta Tau Alpha

Carnation will post details of the parties tonight for me and invitations to Skit Day (3 parties) tomorrow morning...

Yay! I am so excited, I am fond of most of the houses mentioned....I hope she finds one and loves it!! Good luck!:D

Hey, she's going to have a fine time at those 5 sororities! She's coming through rush just fine at one of the "Greekest" schools around!

reading these make me want to have a daughter (when the time comes, of course) so i can share with GC too!!

:)

Waiting patiently for her invites!!! :)
