I figured I'd share my rush story too. I was pretty nervous at the time but now that I look back it was alot of fun! I went through informal in the fall but it was really structured and I went to every house just to see what they were all about so it was pretty much like formal for me
We have:
AGD
Alpha Phi
AST
GPhiB
DZ
ZTA
There were 1 or 2 parties a night so I'll just say what I thought of each house in the 1st round.
AGD- really nice friendly girls. I already knew a few from freshman year and high school so the conversations went well but I couldn't really see myself there.
APhi- felt sooo comfortable there. The girls were so easy to talk to and so funny. I immediately connected with the girl who rushed me and we had a great conversations.
AST- it just seemed akward here for me. The girls were nice but there were alot of pauses and instead of talking the whole time we played a game so I didn't really feel like I got to know alot of the sisters.
GPhiB- I LOVED it here! The girls were really laid back and easy to talk to...just like me. The girl who rushed me was really sweet and they had a cute skit.
DZ- REALLY cute friendly girls. They were nice but I knew this wasn't the house for me...I just didn't feel it the way I did at APhi or GPhiB
ZTA- pretty much the same as DZ
So after the 1st round my favs were APhi, GPhiB and AGD. I went back to all three of those and AST because they invited me back and I figured I'd give it a second chance. Second round at Aphi and GPhiB went even better than the 1st and now I was REALLy confused about where to go. I got cut by AGD and cut AST so I had those 2 prefs to go to.
I had GPhiB pref 1st and it really was beautiful...flowers, candles, songs...I knew it would be a hard decision. Then I went to Alpha Phi. I just felt so comfortable with the girls! They had a senior give a speech about what the sorority meant to her and I felt myself getting teary. I knew I wanted to call these girls my sisters.
I put Alpha Phi 1st on my bid card and I couldn't be happier with my choice!
