A Movie Recruitment--RETRO

[SmallGirl1987]

Hi all. I do have another account on here, but I didn't want to use that one because it would be obvious to which school I attended. So, here is my alterego, Smallgirl 1987!

Hello everyone! Here is my not so old retro recruitment story, since I rushed a couple of years ago. I had never really considered myself a sorority girl. In high school I was a cheerleader, but also a band geek. I grew up in Northern New England and decided I needed to head south for college. I began to attend a small southern school, not knowing a single soul. My roommates were fabulous, introducing me to many people around campus. One of the most important people they introduced me to, was a girl name “Dr. Evil” (there’s a back story, which I will tell later), who was in one of the sororities on campus. When we would hang out she would talk about her sorority and how much fun she had, how much of a support system it was. We became very close during that year, and over the summer I told her I would be rushing in the fall. Turns out, she was the Panhellenic president! She told me all about rush and what I would experience.

I was very excited, and had met a couple of girls in her sorority over the year, and could not wait till recruitment started. I wanted to keep an open mind, and give the other sorority a chance, because you never know. When I began school in the fall, my cousin also began there, and she was rushing also! I was excited to have someone else to talk to during recruitment.
The sororities on campus had their obviously stupid reputations (there was only 2 at the time). One sorority was considered the “stuck up bitches with daddys money” and the other was “the ladies of the night”.
So my code names are----
Stardust
Pride and Prejudice
(two of my favorite movies!!! J ).
Recruitment is broken up in to 4 nights (Ice Water, Sisterhood, Philanthropy, Pre Night), then bid day. It works like this.
Ice Water and Sisterhood you go to both rooms (we don’t have houses)
Sisterhood-Invite only
Pref Night-Invite only, then sign your pref card.
Orientation Night!!

The first night was orientation night where we would meet our Rho Gamma groups. My cousin and I were not in the same group, but I began talking to three girls, one we shall call Dancing, CatLady and Italian. Dancing was a freshmen that knew one of the Rho Gammas and had her heart set on Stardust. CatLady was a sophomore like me, rushing with her friends from last year who are all roommates, and Italian, who was rushing with her roommate as well, who was in our group, named Ketchup. CatLady and Italian were keeping open minds like me. Our rho gamma was a sweet girl but a little unprepared. We sat in a circle and waited for our pictures to be taken and just talked about our lives.
I also found out my friend, the Panhellenic president, had gone out of state because a family member had died. I was very sad I would not be seeing her during recruitment.
That’s all for right now! J
