I rushed as a sophomore, and did a lot of homework the summer before. I checked out the national websites of the 5 NPC sororities we have on campus, checked out individual chapter webpages...didn't check out GC, only because I didn't know about it. But man, what an asset it would've been!
My first choice going into the actual week of recruitment was ADPi. I had envisioned myself as a member of each of the sororities in turn all summer, but ADPi was on the top of my list at that time.
After the first day of parties, though, it was Phi Mu all the way. Not that the ADPi chapter on my campus isn't awesome--a lot of friends in my Rho Chi group went ADPi and have had a great experience--it just wasn't the right fit for me.
On the second day, I met an awesome girl at Sigma Sigma Sigma, which made me really like both them AND Phi Mu. It's kinda funny, actually, because those are the two groups that I just KNEW going into recruitment that I wouldn't like. Of course, that's where I ended up preffing...and while I would truly have loved to be a Sigma (their chapter is so strong right now, with some awesome girls!), I knew all along that Phi Mu was for me. I'm now a bridesmaid in two weddings (my big's and my Rho Chi's!) and wouldn't trade it for the world.
