Hey everyone! I've made it pretty obvious where I go to school (through this and other posts), so I can't really reveal much else without being easily identified. What I can say is that I am out of state, but very familiar with CA, as most of my family lives here.
Unfortunately, I have very little greek connections and was not aware of just how competitive recruitment is here until too late, so I'm going in with only 2 recs. I'm hoping I'll end up finding a home though! Tomorrow night is orientation, where I'll meet my group and I'm super nervous. My "ideal" meeting would be hitting it off with all the girls and my Rho Chis, making a ton of new friends, and going out to eat with the girls afterward. Of course, I know this isn't always the case!
I've heard a lot of the "stereotypes" and what not on sororities already, but I'm trying my best to not take it to heart and go in with an open mind. I plan on staying with recruitment until the very end (or until I have no more invites, knock on wood), as I've heard too many stories of "I regret not giving xyz a chance."
I've been in town for awhile before I moved in, so I got my mom to do a drive by the row, and I got to see AXO practicing (what I assume was) their chant. That alone made me so excited for rush in general! I was thinking "THAT could be me next year!" In whichever house, of course, not favoring anyone

There are 9 chapters I'll be visiting and they are (characters of my fave classic novel):
Nick Carraway
Jay Gatsby
Daisy Buchanan
Tom Buchanan
Jordan Baker
Myrtle Wilson

I'll update tomorrow, hope you all enjoy
