Regarding UT rush, my best friend went through her freshman year. Her Mom appointed herself as her rush consultant. It was unbeleivable. After some serious pre-rush shopping, her Mom coordinated every outfit for every day of rush week, right down to her jewelry and what color toenail polish for each outfil. It was unreal. Every ensamble was placed in it's own garment bag. I guess it was a good idea to plan ahead, my friend didn't have to worry about clothes for rush. Her Mom had practically already dressed her. She ended up pledging PiPhi ("no small feat at UT").
I kinda feel sorry for our Yankee neighbors
---- y'all must think Southerners live in a totally different world! And I suppose that's right. How does that Greek saying go?.... "From the outside looking in, you can understand it. From the inside looking out, you can't explain it." Being a part of the Southern Legacy is unlike anything else, all of my fellow Southern Belles will probably agree with me. It's like the South is a Greek system within itself, where pre-rush will almost always be a bigger fiasco than Rush itself.
And I am proud to be a part of everything the South stands for.
