Hi Newbie,
The main reason that I joined Delta Zeta was because the sisters seemed to be so genuine during Rush. I was a little shy and didn't know hardly anything about sororities when I went to college. It was actually my mother's suggestion that I go through Rush so that I could meet people.
At the Rush parties, the DZ girls made me feel extremely comfortable. It wasn't that I didn't like the other sororities - I did. I was actually a little torn between DZ and one other house right up until Pref Night. But after the preference party, I knew that I was going to be a DZ or nothing.
It's hard to describe how I knew that DZ was the right choice for me. I think that what impressed me the most was that the sisters were all individuals - they each had their own interests. Some were athletic and outgoing, some were shy and reserved, some were brainy, some were social butterflies. I knew that I wouldn't have to "conform" in order to feel welcome in Delta Zeta.
I hope this helps you out, Newbie. Oh, and about your sister being a KD. My big sister's mother was a member of another sorority, so she put a ton of pressure on her to go with that group. Instead, my big sister followed her heart and went DZ. She has never regretted it. Her mother, after meeting the Delta Zeta sisters for herself, agreed that my big sister made a wonderful choice.
Good luck!
Carrie
