I'M NOW OFFICIALLY RUSHING!!!!

Today was orientation where everyone first gathered in the auditorium and we were given general information about rush. Then we split up into our Pi Chi groups. My group is all juniors with 3 Pi Chis and a J-board member.

We basically talked about basics: do not talk to sorority members, do not take anything for granted, etc. The basic theme is that recruitment is great, these are no-nos, this is who you report bad things to, don't listen to opinions, go with your gut. The biggest thing they kept stressing is that the only way to guarntee a bid is to go to all of your parties and get invited to pref. If you go to a party at pref, you are guarnteed a bid. Also, we went over the dress code. For open houses, you are allowed to wear jeans, a nice shirt, and flip flops since Friday is 10 parties and Saturday is 15 parties. For first rounds, you can wear khaki pants, khaki skirt. Seconds, its business casual and Pref, its a dress. So I'm much overdressed for 1st rounds since its khaki type wear so I'm going to wear jeans and a skirt for open houses then my khaki skirts for second rounds.

My Pi Chi's rock!! My Pi Chi group rocks!!!
