I think this is so interesting. I will admit that I had heard stuff about how serious rush was in the south, but I thought this was an outdated sterotype. To find out that this stuff is true was really amazing to me. First of all, what is a rec or a leg? I seriously have never heard of this. My chapter has several legacies that come through, but that is usually only because thier sister or mom went to our school. Our school is considerably rooted in family tradition. The majority of legacies have a sister, mom, or grandmother that went to our school. We have 4 legacies in our chapter right now. Our rush is somewhat laid back. We don't have houses here since I go to school in PA, so sororities get rooms up campus to hold their parties. My sorority personally DOES NOT use looks as a major factor in whether we want them or not. We are the biggest and most repected sorority on campus, and we pride ourselves in not giving in to stereotypes. We have all different types of girls, and that's part of what makes us so popular here. On our campus you can find an AZD in pretty much every organization. If we think a girl is "cute" it is because of her great personality, not her appearence. I know that at our school pretty much every girl gets a bid somewhere because we have 4 sororities that are diverse. Each girl will usually find a group where she feels comfortable. I'm not dissing the way rush is run at southern universites, just saying that I find the differences very interesting. I'd love to visit some southern chapters someday!
