Thank you all for the encouragement! I will be rushing at East Tennessee State University. There are 4 nationals, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Xi Delta, Kappa Delta, and Sigma Kappa, and 1 local, Phi Sigma Beta. We have an information meeting on August 24 and rush officially starts on September 3. I will definitely go after those recs, now!
I still have a few weeks, but I'll keep you guys posted.
edited to add . . .
I went to UT for the past 2 years but will be transferring to ETSU this year. I'll still always be a Vol through-and-through, though! In fact, I'm planning on visiting next Saturday!
