Thumbs up Greek Alumna From The University of Michigan Here!

Have no worries about rushing as a sophmore.

I can say honestly that you will not need a rec. Not that it would hurt to have one, but I dont know of any houses that really look at them unless you're a legacy.

WEAR COMFORTABLE CLOTHES.... You're going to be doing A LOT of walking. Especially on Sun. Sept 14. This is when you'll be going to to most houses. Unfortunately, we dont have a Greek Row, just an huge area of A2. But its a wide and long area. Sigma Kappa house is the farthest and a little bit of a hike.

Hecklers-- You will have those. Let me explain. You will be placed into a rush group that may have 40-60 girls. (its done by alphabetical order). You will be walking all over A2 with these girls during rush led by two Recruitment Counselors. People know its sorority rush but unfortunately you have some idiots non-greeks and some fraternity guys who like to poke fun at the groups by shouting dumb things to them. Pay them no attention. It can get annoying but sometimes, it can be humorous and takes a the tension out of Recruitment.

Recruitment Counselors-- If you ever have any questions or doubts. Please feel free to talk to them or give them a call.

Go in with an open mind to all the houses. All 15 are great and each can offer something. Disregard all rumors and reputations that you may have heard about any of them. A good 95% arent true. Which you many already know

Most importantly.... relax be yourself. The houses are just as nervous about making a good impression as much as you are.

If you have any questions, please feel more then free to ask or PM me.
