Decided to rush last minute- a couple of questions
Hi!
So I decided at the last minute to rush this semester. I'm a senior this year (graduating in the spring) and I got married last fall to my high school sweetheart. I have been fairly involved on campus the past few years with volunteer organizations and a professional society, but I never thought that "greek life" was for me.
I get that I'm in a "different place" in life than most PNMs rushing, but I feel strongly about the idea that it's not just 4 years, it's for life (to borrow the cliche I've seen in every recruitment flyer, video, and banner). I would love to have the opportunity to experience sorority life as an undergraduate student, and remain involved for life.
That being said, I've got a couple of questions. I know that the "B's" are off-limits (I spent most of last night reading this forum). I'm wondering if it would be a good idea for me to leave my wedding set at home, or if that would be seen as dishonest. I'm not ashamed of my hubby, but I'd rather avoid the "so do you have a boyfriend/what's that ring" conversation.
I'm "young" age-wise for a senior (early birthday + skipped a grade) so it's not like I'm a 24+ year old rushing (no offense to those who are!) but I AM a senior. I assume the members will probably know this based on the paperwork I filled out, but should I bring up my graduation plans, or should I leave it as "I'm a senior this year, I'm studying ___" and move on to another topic? I have already applied to grad school at the university I currently attend, so while I won't be an undergrad student I will be a student. Do any sororities allow graduate members to be active, and is this something that I should address during the parties?
Any advice? I'm not nervous, per se, because it's not the end of the world if I don't get a bid, but I am excited and hoping that things go well, and that I'm given an opportunity to experience sorority life and to contribute to the organization with the time I have left in college.
