usc rush 2005

Hey everyone!

I happened to stumble upon this site last week and have been reading some of the great threads on here. I have decided to post about ny rush at USC (starting on Tuesday evening)....I am really excited about getting started but slightly apprehensive as I am a sophomore. I found very few SC rush threads on here, but I feel like I'm really prepared and ready to go. I haven't admitted to anyone yet, but I am pretty nervous.

Wish me luck!

Yay for a LA rush thread

I wish you the best of luck and hope you have a very enjoyable rush. Greek life at USC is a lot of fun (I'm at UCLA but I've got some friends who go to USC).

USC (cali) rush is competitive, and cuts due to being a sophomore are possible (so try not to let that bother you ). Just have fun!

Hey all,

I just got back from the meeting. The panhellenic council basically went over the rules with us and then performed little fun skits to get us excited
we were then sent off in our groups (there were 13 of them, organized by last name letter).... there is a lot of girls rushing--i think like 700-750.
Anyway we went off to our locations and introduced ourselves and said a few words, and then sorted out any conflicts.
Thats about it for part 1..... all the girls were BEAUTIFUL and really lovely. I'm not nervous just yet..I will keep y'all updated.

Hey all!!

OK, so I'm absolutely exhausted after convo day 1 but i'm totally excited! I had great fun today....we went to see 4 houses.
There are 9 houses at sc, so i'll name them each after a sport for us.

Swimming
Soccer
Gymnastics
Ballet
Running
Polo
Golf
Tennis
Lacrosse


We arrived on the row and started with:-

SWIMMING;- This was a really beautiful house, but the first girl I was placed with was slightly awkward. However, I saved the day and realised that it was actually her first time on the other side. After that, the next girl was sweet and funny and my third and final girl was really genuinaly interested in me. So it ended on a high note. I liked this house but I felt it took me a while to 'warmup' because of girl number 1

SOCCER: I have a close friend in this house so I was really excited to visit here. THESE GIRLS WERE FANTASTIC and I loved every single one of them. They spoke to me so fluidly and with totaly interest. i loved them, and time jus flew by.

GYMNASTICS:- Again, the first girl they gave me was awkward and I had to work to get her to open up, but then the next two girls were wonderful. There was a little bit of hinting going on however which was a little much for me. I still liked them though, but wasn't as keen....they had an odd room layout

BALLET:- I know quite a lot of girls in this house.....their intro was slightly confusing-- you were passed around a number of different people until someone finally walked off with you. My girl was SUPER and we totally hit it off, and the the next girl and myself got on like a house on fire! So that was fun

I guess soccer and ballet were my faves today. Well, off to bed
