I arrived on campus, and not much happened until January - we have deferred rush!
I did meet a lot of sorority women, especially my correspondents with Emma and Sense&Sensibility. But I had a great time getting to know the other freshmen on my wing. My college was a heavily greek campus, so most of them intended to rush. Interestingly enough, if there were stereotypes, no one really talked about them.
At one point in the fall, the freshmen were able to visit each chapter in their chapter room (the fraternities had houses, the sororities had chapter rooms in the main women's dorm). There were very few members of Mansfield Park, because they had just reorganized the year before - I think they had 8 members at the time.
And all semester, my aunt was writing me, sending me cartoons, and basically really rushing me for Emma.
Finally January arrived ...
