Go for it!
The university that you are going through rush at sounds a lot like mine. When I went through my orientation, it was so much like what you described, you took the words right out of my mouth!! I thought about it a lot (I rushed last August). I had already sent in my money, I don't know if all schools have a rush fee, but ours did- so I said what the heck I don't have anything to lose and I had the opportunity to gain so much. So many of the pnm's seemed fake and their conversations seemed so superficial. I was praying that most of them would not become my sisters! The icing on the cake was when the girls of the panhellenic council modeled their outfits to show us what kind of clothes were appropriate for rush. I remember thinking that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what is acceptable and what isn't. I guess that it was good to show us what types of things to wear so that we were all on the same page, so to speak but when they separated out and said this is good for round 1, and this for 2, and so on, I thought that was a little much.
I say definately go for it. During rush you will probably think, okay I know that these girls do not smile all the time and are not always this happy. I looked for the sorority that was the most real and down to earth.
From reading some of your posts, you seem like the type of PNM that lots of sororities are looking for because you are in it for the right reasons, not just the partying, etc.
Sorry so long, but keep us updated on everything that is going on.
When does rush start for you?
