ClassicBeauty's Rush
 

Hey guys! Well, I figured I should go ahead and make my own thread for rush. I'm rushing at some school as a freshman here in a few weeks with a competitive rush. Now you'll get to see what's going through a PNM's head in the weeks leading up to rush.

Right now, I'm worried about getting all my recs. I sent all the packets needed to the local alumunae association in town. I'm just super worried that they won't be able to obtain the recs I need or that the chapters on campus won't take those recs seriously because I may not personally know the person. I only have recs for 3-4 sororities on campus that are personal. I'm trying to get my mom to ask her friends, but she keeps putting it off and I only have a few weeks left.

Yay, a current day rush thread! :p

As far as recs go, you need to tell them that the deadline is coming up quickly. You need to stay persistent. Good luck! :)

contact your mom's friends yourself.

Thank you, FSUZeta! I hate getting calls from friends/parents of students asking me if I can write a rec for Suzie PNM. Why can't Suzie call me herself?

ClassicBeauty, I'm excited about our first current thread of the rush season!

oh! I thought we weren't allowed to talk to alumunae too!

If it's a little difficult to approach alumnae who you don't really know, go with your mother for that personal touch. BUT, make sure you do the talking!

Let them see that you are intelligent, poised, and talented - consider it practice for when R really starts!


Edited To Add: Best of luck to you!

I'm so excited for you Classic!!....also excited to read your story ;) Good luck m'dear!

:D

Best of luck to you! Can't wait to read your story :D

Best of luck to you Classic Beauty!!

Just remember to keep an open mind, through it all - it's very hard when you first get on campus and you hear things from your dormmates!! And most of all, just be yourself!

And thank you for documenting your story - I'm excited to hear what happens!

GOOD LUCK! GOOD LUCK! GOOD LUCK!

Good Luck. I hope you enjoy your expierience. Have fun. Good Luck!

Thanks you guys! Reading your words of encouragement really calms me down a little. I do have a question though since I mentioned the rec thing in my first post. As people who have been on the other side of recruitment, do you guys look down on girls who's only recs is from the alumnae association/a person who doesnt personally know the girl?
