Only rushed 1 house?

I know everyone's going to want to reply with "you should rush many houses to see what suits you best" but I'm actually just interested in seeing if there are any out there who like me only rushed one house and were initiated into it?

I did. A bit of a unique situation though. I was part of a colonization/chapter founding. We were recruited through means other than formal rush. I had made up my mind at the time that fraternities were only good for getting you flunked out of school.

I actually had one house rush me. I had no intention of joining a fraternity. If it hadn't been for that particular group of guys, I wouldn't have.

I only rushed one house. I had some friends in my dorm who were Alpha Phis, and they said I should come to COB. So I did, and I loved it. I always liked sororities, but I never thought I could be in one. I'm a charter member, and a lot of the sisters from my new member class and the ones before me thought the same thing. They never considered joining a sorority, but they just fell in love with the organization!

I only rushed ADPi. I never considered joining a sorority until my roommate joined ADPi. When I saw that a "normal" girl like her could be in a sorority I thought maybe I could be too. I joined, and though it was a bumpy journey at times, I am glad I did.

I was originally signed up to go through Formal Recruitment in January of my sophomore year (my school is deferred). I went to a Kappa COB party before Formal began and knew that Kappa was where I belonged! I accepted my bid in December then helped the chapter during Formal in January... so I had the best of both worlds! I would not change my decision for anything. But my words of wisdom are that you should only rush one house if you have looked at all the other options!

I only rushed one house seriously - looked a bit at a couple other houses, but when it came down to it I only really rushed Kappa Sig. It worked out pretty well I'd say.

I wanted to rush but didn't have the time so I ended up being a late COB. There were other houses still accepting ladies but I knew that Sigma Kappa was the only one for me. I looked at their national website from day 1 & always knew that it was where I belonged. I'm happy here & am glad I did things this way!

I also only rushed one Fraternity. I realy had no intention of being in a Fraternity, but now I don't know how I lived without it. I was convinced to check it out by a freind who was already in, and had a buddy who pledged with me so It was alot of fun. I am closer with my pledge brothers than I am with freinds from highschool that I have known for many years.

I too only rushed one house. I actually had every intention of rushing Chi-O (because a close friend from high school was a sister), but I never made it out of the ADPi house. I knew after my first night there that ADPi was for me. I recieved and accepted my bid the following night.
