I went through recruitment earlier this year and I am stoked to share my story! There are seven sororitiess at my school, which I, in the halloween spirit, I am naming after classic Halloween costumes:
Witch
Ghost
Zombie
Black Cat
Mummy
Skeleton
Pumpkin
I told you it would be spooky.
Night 1:
Witch- My heart was racing before I walked into the first house of the day, Witch. These girls were known as super smart and involved around campus, just like I wanted to be. I didn't know which house I wanted to go to yet, obviously, but I was really hoping that this house would like me. The door opened to dozens of screaming girls. I was super nervous until I was grabbed by the most gorgeous girl I have ever seen. We had a great conversation, but I couldn't tell if she liked me or if she was just good at rush. I talked to a couple of other girls, and they were all equally gorgeous and super enthusiastic.
Ghost- Rumors I had heard about ghost weren't as positive as those I had heard about Witch. But I was willing to look past them and give ghost a shot. When I went into ghost, I was again grabbed by a sister. She was very friendly, but I didn't feel a connection with her at all. I was not bumped, which was disappointing because I wanted to see how I felt talking to other girls in the house.
Zombie- I had heard that zombies were super cute and sweet (ironically, ha). And they were! I talked to three zombies, and they all seemed really sweet and down to earth.
Black Cat- I didn't know ANYTHING about black cat before rush, except that they were a larger house that had won an award for being the friendliest Greek organization on campus. The girl I was paired with for most of the party seemed really nervous. She kept saying the same things over and over again and I felt bad. I talked to another girl for a few minutes and had a slightly better connection. I really wanted to get to know this org better.
Mummy- Mummy was a non-NPC sorority, relatively new on campus. The girls I spoke with were kind, but I felt I didn't have anything in common with them. Also, they were not participating in all of rush. This was the only night until NPC rush ended that any PNMS would visit their house.
Skeleton- At Skeleton, I was rushed by 6 or 7 girls in a 25 minutes period. Every time I was bumped, the sister I was speaking to and the new sister would whisper something in each others' ears. Talk about awkward. Anyway, I enjoyed speaking with ONE of the several girls I talked to. The rest seemed either annoyed or bored and while they didn't say anything downright rude, they didn't try to hide it.
Pumpkin- The last house of the night. I spoke to 2 pumpkins and had the 2 best conversations of the night! When all the sisters sang a song together, I knew I wanted to be a pumpkin too!
That night I had to rank 6 sororities (excluding Mummy), 1-6
Pumpkin
Witch
Zombie
Black Cat
Ghost
Skeleton
