My rush experience was a great one, but isn't it funny how things work out the way they do. We go in expecting one thing and come out with something else. I think that is an important lesson for anyone going through rush...have a completely open mind and don't let anyone else sway you...this is a very important decision and you have to do what is right for you.

I went to a small school where there were 4 sororities (ZTA, AXO, Tri-Delt, and Phi Mu. When I went to school I had already decided I wanted to be a AXO. I stayed there during preview days and I knew some girls, so I had already decided that was for me. Well, the first day of rush I loved the house. I felt excited about the experience. But day two...I fell in love with ZTA. I knew that was were I belonged. The girls were honet and made me feel so at home.

I went through the rest of the week dropping Tri Delt on Weds. Then I had a hard time Thursday because all of my friends were going to Phi Mu. I didn't want to go there but was afraid they would be hurt if I dropped the house they wanted, and I was scared that I didn't know any of the girls that were talking about Zeta. But, I stood strong and dropped Phi Mu attending AXO and ZTA on pref night.

That night I felt all the feelings I was looking for at Zeta. So, I sweated bullets for the rest of the night waiting for that magic invitation. It finally came and I have never been sorry! It has truly been the greatest experience of my life.

The funny thing, I never wanted to be greek. I did it because my friends were. Later I became President! Funny how that works.
