Richmond Rush Thread
 

Hi everyone!

I posted before on the 'Who's Rushing in the Spring' thread, but I'm getting increasingly more excited about rush so I figured I would create my own rush thread. I'm going through formal Spring recruitment at the University of Richmond, which started this week. We have six chapters involved in formal recruitment.

Tuesday night was the first night, 'Go Greek' night. We went around to all of the sororities with our Rho Gamma groups and met and spoke with a bunch of the sisters. Each sorority prepared a very cute slide show. I had a really good time and surprised myself by not being very nervous at all. I made sure to ask lots of questions, and I even found out that some sisters and I had shared similar jobs or were even in the same classes this semester!

Yesterday we received our invites back for tonight. I got invited back to all six, but I was required to drop one. I knew a few other girls that got invited back to all of the sororities, so I figured that was pretty much the norm, but then I found out that a lot of the girls actually only got asked back to two or three.

Tonight is Philanthropy night. I will be visiting five of the sororities and learning more about each of their philanthropies and I think even doing some crafts :)

Friday I'll find out where I got invited back to again. Friday night is 'Sisterhood Night' and Saturday night is Pref Night. And then Sunday is obviously Bid Day.

I'm really excited about the whole process, and a lot less nervous than I was originally. I went into it with a pretty open mind and have already been impressed with some sororities that I wasn't very interested in prior.

I'll try to keep this updated!

Well that's great that you had such a good first night. Good luck and keep us updated!

Hi pink and green!

One of my sorority sister's biological little sisters is also going through recruitment at Richmond! My friend is registered on GC as PreppyGirl... Anyway best of luck!

One of my very best friends form home is a sister of one of the sororities at Richmond. . . she is very excited about recruitment, this is her first time on the other side. Good luck, from what she says all the sororities are awesome!

Also, just a piece of advice and I noticed you didn't do this anyway, but I wouldn't mention anything negative about the sororities, because I know for a fact that there are girls from one of them on this board. You haven't done it that I have seen, but just letting you know :)

Sounds like things are going well for you! Keep us updated and Good luck! :)

So exciting for you!!! Thank you for feeding our addiction to recruitment stories. I can't wait to hear how it all works out for you.

Congrats on your invites... good luck, and have fun! :)
