33girl - I think that might be one of the reasons, honestly. They probably just don't want to deal with the hastle of a governing body they have no control over. But I guess I'll never know for sure. :P
So we had our paint party rush last night and it was a total success!
We had about 40 girls come to this rush, which was pretty impressive considering it had been raining ALL day and was still raining when the time for the rush rolled around. It was so much fun though. And a good thing was that a lot of the girls that were there went to our last rush too, so we know these girls are interested. We still have two rushes left and the girls ranked for the first time today so the big clubs will be cutting more rushees this week so our last two will most likely have new faces. Then the girls rank again next Wednesday and bids go out on Thursday. Bid night is Friday so it's gonna be a pretty packed week next week, but it's gonna be a blast!
We currently have 13 confirmed pledges, quite a few maybes/still deciding, and then we'll hopefully win over more girls that get cut from their first choice clubs tomorrow. :P We have a rush Thursday and then we have a rush next Tuesday. Tuesday night after the rush we vote for who we want to extend the bids to, then rushees rank for the second time. So exciting!
After all this planning and talking about this semester, it's amazing that it's finally here and going so well! I just wanna thank all of you guys for the support, it's really meant a lot. It's been a great help to hear from people outside of our university's system. Well, I'll continue to keep you posted!
