Fast forward to the week that recruitment begins. Here is how we do it at Faber. On Friday night, you begin open house with four houses, and then visit the remaining eight on Saturday. Saturday night is ranking and processing, and on Sunday, there are up to 9 house visits. You wait an excruciating painful week, and then you go to up to six houses on Friday. Saturday is pref, with up to three houses. Sunday is Bid Day!

So the Wedesday before recruitment, one of my three Rho Gammas called. The first meeting was that thursday night in a classroom.

I met with my group Thursday night, and there were 47 girls in my group. (Its competitive at my school. Around 800 girls rushed this year.) Right away, I thought I figured out my Rho Gammas houses. I could tell one awas a Dean Wormer, another may have been a Niedermayer, and the third, who called me, was probably a Babs.

Let me introduce my supporting cast, so to speak. I've doctored the names.

Kirsti- She was in my rush group, and I had gone out to parties with her before. She was set on Otter or Dean Wormer.
Lani- Rushing as a sophomore, Lani wanted Dean Wormer, like her roommate. She became my buddy at breaks between parties.
Alexandra- Kirsti's roommate. I hadn't met her before rush, but there were rumors going around that she hated me because I had something with her current boyfriend before I met her. I was a little scared of her.
Amanda- Another girl in my rush group that I had known from a freshman orientation thing. She had said she would never rush, but then did, and was rather apprehensive about the process.
Lisa- An obnoxious girl in my rush group who knew she had to be in the top houses. She would constantly put down Babs and Hoover. I had liked Hoover at the expo, and wanted her to shut up.
Jamie- She was in my rush group and lived in the same building as me. Throughout rush, she would always try to talk me out of my top choices on the way home.

Next post....I begin open house!
