The week leading up to rush, we all got a phone call from our Rho Gammas telling us where to meet our groups. I knew several girls in my group, and as it turned out I also already knew two of my three Rho Gammas due to mutual friends and my third Rho Gamma was a sweetheart as well. The two I already knew pulled me aside after our first meeting to tell me they understood I already knew which chapters they belonged to but to please not tell the rest of the group as they were supposed to be neutral for everyone and that they hoped I would still feel comfortable talking to them even though I knew what sororities they were in. All in all, the meeting got me even more excited for rush as everyone in my group were so excited to begin.
The night before rush, we had a recruitment kick-off in our student center in which all of our Rho Gammas led our groups into the auditorium and all the sororities were there, chanting and dancing and getting everyone pumped up. The heads of recruitment showed us a slideshow and explained how everything would work, and we all left so excited to begin the process the next day!!
There are a few key people in my story so I'll give them all nicknames. I will call my roommate
Jenny, my best friend (and one of the girls who lives on my floor)
Courtney, my two other best friends (who also live on my floor
Lisa and
Alex. My Rho Gammas will be
Morgan,
Carly, and
Rachel. (Morgan and Carly are the ones I already knew). Finally, my good friend in Punta Cana will be
Lindsay and my good friend in Las Vegas will be
Emily. I'll also add that Lindsay had talked to me prior to rush and told me that although she was already in a sorority, she wanted to remain as neutral for me as possible if I needed someone to talk to while I was going through it, regardless of my opinion of her sorority or any of the others which was nice of her.
Sorry if all those names got confusing, as I talk about each person I will try and remind everyone who they are so you don't need to memorize them!
I'll post Round 1 asap
