Some more thoughts...
Remember the women in your Rho Chi group because they may be your sister after rush.
Rush is fun and frightening on both sides.. I have to say honestly I hated rush. It is just like four nights of job interviews:
Did I wear the right thing? Say the right thing? Is it okay that I don't look great 24 seven? Did I ask the right questions? Was I too eager, did I laugh to loud? Do I smell???
But on our side remember we are asking:
Did they hate our cheers/songs/speeches?
Are our outfits okay?
Do we compare to the other sororities?
Did we make her feel at home?
Does she know how much we want her here?
What is she thinking?
Did we look cheesy?
It is tough.. for everyone. I am recruitment chair and I told me sisters to do whatever it takes to make them feel at home first because that relaxes the girls coming through. I want my sisters to have fun because then I know you will have fun.
Other tips:
Stick away from Prefume and body lotions, you may be outside and that attracts bugs...
Also don't complain about how hot you are.. we are too... we were just singing and clapping for ten minutes while you got off the air conditioned bus... we are sweaty and tired from working since 8AM... please think about how that make you feel.,
The BEST ADVICE I got from ANYONE about rush was this:
Look at the girls during rush..
Could you get up there and do what they are doing next year? Because if you join them you will be!
That really impacted my decision. I wanted to go a certain org since I decided to rush, but at the second round of parties one of the sisters was wearing a white jumpsuit with green underwear.. I was so embarressed for her and even more, WHY DIDNT SOMEONE TELL HER!
That made me decide I couldn't be a sister there if someone wouldn't tell me my underwear showed through!
Good luck and keep us updated!
