1>With the recs that I have, do I need to get the writers of the recs the rec forms, or do they do that?

I've written recs for girls in the past and have just gotten a copy of their "resume" (including all activities, classes, GPA, etc. from high school) that I used to write the recs. A special form wasn't required.

2>Will my senior drape picture be good to put on my resume'?

A senior drape picture would be great. Just no glamour shots, if you know what I mean.

3>But im really frightened that I'll be so nervous they wont get to see that, and will think im all shy and reserved. What do you guys think about that?

I think that the real you will come out. Even if you're shy during the first couple of house visits on the first day, you'll eventually loosen up -- especially when you find the girls that you click with the best. Then you'll be able to open up even more! Plus, all the girls realize how nervous rushees are at first, so they expect it and know how to deal with it.

4>What are the chances, for any of you bama girls on here, that someone wont get a bid?? Can't answer that one. It depends on how many women are going through Rush this year and what Panhellenic sets the quota at. All I can say is DO NOT SUICIDE RUSH!!

5>Should my resume' just have the following headings: clubs/organizations....family info...awards/honors...church/community service....hobbies/interests??? and for that last one, anything i should know to help capture their eye, or something not to put??

My only advice here is to make sure that you only list the organizations that you actively participated in. Don't list clubs that you were a member of in name only because the girls want to know what you actually DID for those organizations, not just that you had your picture taken with them in the yearbook. Understand what I mean?

Hope this helps you! Let me know if I can answer any more questions!
