wow you guys are awesome! thanks for all of the advice and encouragement!!! A lot of you have been talking about getting recs and it sounds like it could only help me so I'm trying to think of who I could get to write them... someone said how I could get my sister to write me one that would just go to all of the sorrorities (b/c she was in Gamma Phi Beta, and we don't have it at Davis). BUT, there is one problem with that, she's backpacking in Europe and doesn't get back until I will be halfway through rush. I am actually pretty close though with one of her really good friends who she went to high school with (and was in her same sorrority at Santa Barbara), so would she be a good person to write me a rec? There's also my best friend's mom who was in Delta Gamma (an org which IS at Davis!) who I'm sure would be willing to write me a rec. But other than that I dunno... Do PNMs have people they don't even really know write them recs? This just seems kinda strange to me b/c I'd think they'd have to know the person in order to recommend them, right?!
Rush for us starts on September 22nd (we start school the 25th) and bid day is Sunday the 28th. I'm moving into my apartment this weekend so I will have lots of time to get all nice and settled before rush starts!!
One more thing I am a little curious about though is what to wear... I mean, I have a few outfits in mind, and I know it starts casual-ish and gets more formal as rush goes on, but I'm not sure like what you're supposed to wear on each day. I sent my rush registration in a while ago, and I figured they'd send me something telling me the suggested attire, but all I got was an email saying they got my registration and where to go on the first day.
Thanks again for all you guys' help!! I really appretiate it!
