Hey Erin!
Good luck with rush and be sure to keep us all up to date!
I rushed last fall and my biggest fear going into it was the fact that i can be a tiny bit shy in large groups of people but it all worked out great. The sisters worked really hard to make everybody feel at home. I didn't notice any competion really among the rushees. Actually it was more the oppisate since we were all spending alot of time together and getting excited about where we would end up. I made alot of friends during rush week that I still hang out with now.
Rush can be a crazy week but its definately all worth it in the end! Good luck!
