Rush from the sisters side

[sdidavide]

So I know that we are all excited to here about how the rushes feel when they are going through rush. But here is my perspective from the sisters side because it can be just as hard. You are opening up something very sepcial for alot of people to see and you hope that they can appreciate it like you do. So here goes my story.....
I am a 4th year sorority sister. I go to UIC where our cmapus is very large and our greek system is very small. We have 3 NPC sororities and 4 IFC Frats. Each sorority usually has about 20 girls. We had 22 last semester and then we had 11 girls graduate so that is one half of our chapter. Likely for us the girls that were left were truely dedicated. I am so nervous because I have watched the other sororities change and grow and I hope that the rushess are not turned off by our small numbers. All summer we have been planning rush-- some thing that was usually saved until the last min. ---- Sorority tea is our first big thing. Every sorority sets up a table in a conference room of the school and decorate however you like. This happened last night. We had 60 girls there which was great. They all seemed so great and I would take any of them at this point. We had a power point presentation-- we were the only ones-- it was something new we thought of for this year. At the end eac of the sorority pres. Get up and give a speech. My sorority decided to be different this year and we did a fashion show. We had 2 MC's and each sister designed a shirt with a word such as Social, Scholarship and so on, as they walked down the runway we described what we do for each of these, I think that everyone was impressed and it made us stand out. I am soooo nervous. I hope that we get some really good girls this semester. We are working hard for our next party which is on Sept. 4th. So far away. If anyone is interested I will keep you posted.
