That's kind of funny, because I remember that back in, like 1997, there was an article in Seventeen about rush at the University of Michigan, and it was one of the first things I ever read/watched/heard of that painted sororities in a positive light!
Anyway, good luck to you, I hope you have lots of fun during recruitment!

I only remember one article about rush in Seventeen, so it could very well be the same one. I just remember reading about how the sororities choose to invite people back and thought it was really negative. I guess it's just how people view things, and their pre-disposed ideas affect that.
Anyway, today was my open house where we went to 20-minute parties with each sorority. ALL of them were sooo nice, and really friendly and warm. There weren't many girls in my Rho Chi group today, so there were usually more than one sorority member with each us at a time. Some looked a little restless, I just hope that wasn't a reaction to me!
The first party was so wonderful. I absolutely loved everyone I talked to. They were so sweet and fun. They are one of my favourites.
The second party was equally as great. I had some great, fun conversations with a number of girls, and really hope they remember me! This group is also one of my favourites. I found my top two in the first two visites!
The third room, whether they were getting into the swing of things or just their method, changed people really fast, and I found it gave me less of a positive impression, just 'cause I didn't get to really talk with anyone.
The fourth party was fun. More conversation and less "pleasentries". I liked them, and could see myself being a part of their sorority.
The fifth party was nice, not as much of a connection, but they were all really pleasent.
The sixth room I did not feel like I had anything in common with, but there were nice chats, and the girls were friendly and very warm.
The seventh party was fun, but we were all a little tired. They didn't seem that interested, and were calming down considerably with everyone. But again, they made an effort to be pleasent and receptive. they seemed like a fun group.
All of the groups were warm, welcoming, and friendly. I really felt a connection with my first, second, and fourth sororities, and could see a connection with a few others. I am keeping an open mind though, as it was a long day, so the last ones are harder, and it is difficult to get an accurate impression from just 20 minutes. Tomorrow I'll go back to 5 of them for Invitationals, and I really hope I get my top four, or at least two of them. But I'll wait until the end of the whole process to really make a decision (but I LOVE my first two!!).
Tired, happy, and excited! I'll let you know how I make out!
