College specific stuff: I was supposed to go to University of South Carolina [in Columbia] in August but money was tight and I wasn't able to get enough to be able to go so I took a year off. I've been accepted to USC, Ole Miss, and University of Alabama and can't figure out where I want to go this fall. Money wise, it looks like USC or Ole Miss would be the smarter decisions but Bama looks really nice!
I want to be a photographer and a writer. The only school mentioned above with photography is Bama, but I plan on attending an art school for photography after college so that's not a huge deal breaker for me.
Are there any girls or guys on here that go to any of those three schools who could maybe tell me a little more about them from their point of view?

Sorority specific stuff: Okay so I'm a triple legacy for Delta Delta Delta and its very important to me to try and continue the legacy my family has. Of course, I'm not sure if Tri Delta will truely be my home because it really just depends on the girls and if I feel like I fit in.
My friends all tell me I'll be a great sorority girl and that because I'm outgoing I'll be able to meet tons of people and have a good time, but I'm actually really really nervous for rush because of [negative] things other people have said to me about it.
Just to kind of give a little insight about me to any girls on here that are in sororities at any of the schools mentioned above:
Hair: My natural hair color annoys me so I'm usually a platinum blonde. Recently, that changed to black because I wanted to try something very new and different for me. I love it! I left the under part of my side bangs blonde so that I could dye them another color if I wanted to [I usually have a bit of pink somewhere in my hair because my grandma died from Breast Cancer and thats one of the ways I show my support to help find a cure]. They're currently a light lilacy-purple/pink color. Once that fades out, I'll either leave them blonde, make them pink, or just dye them black so my hair is all one color.
Clothing: I love converse all stars, skinny jeans, and t-shirts, but I jump at any chance I have to get dressed up and go shopping for a pretty dress. [I lived for prom in high school haha it was my favorite day of the year for both junior and senior year] My family is a huge fan of Lily clothes and, although I currently don't own any, I plan on buying some dresses and shirts and such before heading off to college. While I'm usually seen in t-shirts/tank-tops and shorts/jeans, my favorite stores are Guess and White House Black Market.
I know a lot of people judge people before they meet them, and I feel like rush is, unfortunately, going to include a ton of that.
My mom's best friend was a sorority girl at Bama when she was there and is going to help me to get letters of rec for as many sororities as possible. She said she remembers that if girls didn't have a letter of rec, their chances of getting in to that sorority would be lessened. She knows a ton about rush and sororities because of her experiences, so I'm really grateful for that! Unfortunately, I'm going to have to really push my grandma and 2 aunts [the family TriDelts] if I want to get letters of rec from them. They really want me to be in Tri Delta like they were and I asked them for letters of rec months ago and they still haven't done anything so hopefully they'll do them if I ask 10 more times [lol].
Are there any tips you guys can give me to help me with sorority stuff? Other than getting the letters of rec, what other things should I get done in order to make sure I get through rush in one piece?
Thanks in advanced for any/all help! <3
