At UTK, you will be given a rush handbook the first day. Besides general information about sororities, it will have a page or two devoted to each one, with facts about the organization and pictures of members being sisters and having fun. I urge rushees to carry this in their purses to each party, and as soon as you leave each party, make notes on the appropriate pages -- names of actives you spoke to, theme of party, beverage served, even the color of the couches -- anything to help you remember each chapter. ("I spoke to that really nice girl at the place with the salmon-colored couches. Let me check my notes ... oh, of course, that was ABC.") With 15 chapters, even if you have a really good memory, everything starts to blur together about halfway through.
