DiamondK's Fall 05 RUSH!!!!!!

DiamondK · #1 08-01-2005, 05:28 PM

Ok! So I'm about a month early but have been getting pretty excited about rushing at a California school this coming up Fall! I'm going to try to be very careful about not giving away too much info, because I want this experience to be totally fun for me and not have any drama.

I had enough drama in high school. Anyways, where I am going to school there are five sororities that I know of (I could be off by one) and I love the idea of naming them after crazy different things, so here I go!!

MAKE-UP BRANDS-- YIPPEE!
1. MAC
2. Stila
3. Clinique
4. Lancome
5. Dior

The second week of September..... its 5 days long. I'm getting super-excited about college in general too!!! I found out who my roommate is a few days ago and that just made me more excited. I think joining a soroity wil be the perfect start!

The makeup idea IS really good! lol. Best wishes...college is much more interesting than high school--and depending on the school more "drama free."

Best of luck during recruitment!!

Ooooh... another Cali thread.

I thought for a moment you were at my school... but then realized that there are 6 sororities in NPC; 7 if you include us. My bad.

Good luck to you!

This MAC diva loves the Makeup names

Hi! Thanks for all of your support! I can't be too sure if there are five or six, because the greek life website is having issues right now

But hey, if there is another one I can add another make-up brand... yay!

CUTE idea for sorority names!! May your mascara be running with happiness as you make new friends!

GOOD LUCK and HAVE FUN!!

I don't know what school you are going to and I don't intend to guess therefore I don't know what sororities are at your school, but, for my own entertainment I like to pick a favorite.

I PICK Lancome. GO LANCOME. Lemme give you a song for Lancome.

L - A - N - C - O - M - E
Who Loves you the most it is we
at the best sorority
L - A - N - C - O - M - E
Yea Lancome

Ok let recruitment begin

So... I have been reading a lot of recruitment stories from the past to ease my anxiety and Curlygurlys (I think that's her name.... something curly) story was wonderful! Reading her story made any doubts I had abut rush fly out the window... now I can stress out about other stuff like my roommate, moving into the dorms, and how to handle the dining hall food. I am a girl who relies on home-cooked meals. Anyways, does anyone know any other awesome recruitment stories that I can feast my eyes on? I am a writer myself, so when my recruitment time comes along, I will try to make my story a beautiful one to read!!! Thanks everyone for all of your help!!!

ALSO-- I have been reading a lot of stuff about getting recommendations, but I am really the first person in my family to consider going greek, besides my Uncle, but that doesn't really help much. My school isn't very big..... do u think not having a rec. will hurt my chances of getting in a sorority at all?

Get recommendations.

Ask your friends, family, clergy, parents of friends, etc.-- you never know who is Greek. Go online to npcwomen.org and call the phone number provided. Request contact information for your hometown's Alumnae Panhellenic. Contact the Alumnae Panhellenic President by phone and tell her you are a PNM from her town and looking for assistance with recommendations; can she help you? Alumnae Panhellenics have representatives of all the sororities and these women can write informational recs on your behalf.

Not having recs can hurt. Having recs can help or not do anything at all.

Getting recs will make you feel like you've done "one more thing" in your control to put yourself out there in a positive and proactice way.
