Hi Greek Chat,
If you don't know me, I'm Harry Potter. Some of you may know me as "the boy who lived". But that's a whole different story...so you might want to read the books....
Anyway, I attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I have decided to rush a sorority this fall at school (yeah, I'm a boy..but I'm Harry Potter. I do what I want. Good ol' Voldy tried to off me but didn't, so you think a bunch of sorority chicks are gonna stop me from rushing?). Since I AM Harry Potter and everyone loves reading every little detail of my life and watching it on the big screen, I thought I'd share with you my rush story (it's bound to be a hit, and this time, I'M getting the profits. Screw you JK Rowling!).
I'm currently at Ron Weasley's house (I'm sure you all know him as my ginger chum). He once again rescued me from Privet Drive. Now, rush doesn't actually start until September when we go back to school, but being the dilligent student I am, I have already researched all the sororities on campus and figured out which ones I'm kind of partial to (I know, I know, "keep an open mind").
But here are my initial impressions of the sororities on campus:
Dudley Dursleys:
I happen to know a girl in this sorority from Gryffindor. She is a nice enough girl, not the most popular, but we hung out once or twice before. Because of this, I have seen the girls in her sorority...and while they might be nice enough (like the girl from Gryffindor) I just don't know if I'll fit in here. They have a moderate amount of pride on campus.
Ginny Weasleys:
I also happen to know a girl in this sorority from working with her (we'll call her Mel). We never hung out, but we're friendly. She was kind of into taking some drugs and pills in high school, so hopefully she's changed. However, from what I can tell, this is definitely the party sorority. I also met another Ginny in one of my classes (we'll call her Jen). We sit near each other and she is SO sweet. I'm kind of sketched out by this sorority for reasons I'm not going to say in case I join (obviously, it would be bad if you found out who it was and I told you bad things about them). MAYBE if I don't join I will tell you, but for now just know I'm a little leary about this group. However, they are the most prominent group on campus. They aren't the biggest (but pretty big) but there are always TONS of girls wearing letters and such.
Luna Lovegoods:
I didn't know much about this sorority until school started. They seem to be pretty well put together, and are all gorgeous, yet diverse at the same time. They have the highest GPA on campus which is a plus, too. Also, one of my VERY close friends (we'll call her Amy) at a different school is best friends with a girl in this chapter (we'll call her Brittania). Amy told Brittania about me, so that's cool. Brittania also happens to be in one of my classes, but I don't think she realizes it (she might though, because when the teacher took roll yesterday and I raised my hand..Brittania whispered something to another Luna she was sitting with). Anyway, they seem to have a good amount of pride too.
Hermione Grangers:
I think this sorority might be my favorite just off of reasearch (I don't know anyone in it). They all seem to be blondes, though. I hope I'm wrong. Oh, and their colors/mascot happens to be my favorite colors/animal. Just a plus
Minerva McGonagolls:
I really have no clue about these girls either, but they aren't so bad from what I can tell. Also, they don't have many chapters near my neck of the woods so I don't know much about the sorority in general. We'll see during rush, I'm excited to meet these girls. They don't seem to be as prominent on campus as some others.
Cho Changs:
Before I started reading Greek Chat, I thought this was the ONLY sorority at Hogwarts I wanted to join. They have such a great national reputation, and every Cho Chang I know is classy. They have a wonderful Philanthropy, too, which I'm personally connected to. However, after reading all the threads, I realized I need to keep my options open. Who even knows if I'll click with these girls??? I don't know ANYONE in this chapter of this sorority, so I might not even like them. But in the general scope of things, I am favorable towards this sorority. They also seem to have a pretty diverse group of girls.
Fleur Delacours:
I didn't know anything about these girls before school started, but they are VERY small. I only have seen ONE girl wearing letters in the past two weeks. Other than that, I don't know anything else.
Moaning Myrtles:
I originally thought this group was small and struggling because they were the only ones without a website and didn't even have a facebook group (I know, it's lame but true). However, I found out that they have the most members! But, I still have only seen one or two girls wearing letters. Maybe it's just how my classes are, but they don't seem very prominent.
Here are my "rankings" of my initial favorites. I think it will be fun to compare how my rush actually turns out with this list.

EDIT: I'm editing this to add some things. First, I changed all my pictures to ones that I'm personally hosting because Barbie got on my case. Here's for you, Barbie. Also, my initial impressions have changed since school started, so I updated some descriptions.
Blasphemy!
