I must say before I continue this story that I had no clue about any history of sororities or the protocol. I was considerably overweight. I was a hefty tight 16. And to be honest, that's part of what kept me from joining rush. My RA had mentioned two horrible nicknames of the sororities, I won't say the organizations, but I'm sure you'll figure it out, one included Cow and the other Piggy. (Knowing that I'm this overweight I was terrified being accepted only by these girls after having been persecuted for my weight my whole life.)
So, on Saturday morning I woke up late. I had no intention on going to rush. I was too overweight, ugly. I'd never fit in. I was up late last night, I'm so sleepy, etc.
But...then at the last minute I looked at the time and I still had time to go if I RAN. Is it worth it? Well at the very least, I HAD to find out about what this was all about for myself.
I quickly got dressed wearing a simple jeans and t-shirt (so dumb now that I look back). It was a beautiful and relatively hot day. After seeing the weather, I was so hopeful. This will be a great experience I know it.
I ran up the hill looking for any information on how I could still rush. Then I actually bumped into to a group and what happened to be my Rho Chi and rush group. (1st group I met up with, kismet huh?!)
In my rush group was a girl I had made friends with at orientation! And it turned out that my friend that was rushing was also in my group!!! Wee!
So, we came back down the hill and began the first round.
I will let you all in on my little secret school and organizations at the end of this story in another post
