My Awesome Rush Story!

[klovee]

I've LOVED reading other girls' rush stories, so I thought I would add my own! (:
I go to school in the midwest, and rush isn't too terribly competitive, but nerve racking nevertheless! Ok, here we go!

Last night was my first night of rush. We visited 5 sororities, and tonight we will visit 5 more.

The first group I visited was Dr. Pepper. I had heard really great things about these girls, and I was pleasantly surprised! They were great! I got along perfectly with the girl I was paired up with! I had so much in common with all of the sisters that I talked to. At one point, a good friend of mine who happened to be in my same rush group ventured over to us with her sister and we all began talking. The two of us were cracking the sisters up! At one point they even said, 'oh my gosh! These two are so cute!" I LOVE THEM! When it was time to switch, I didn't want to leave! It's unfortunate that this amazing sorority was the first we visited, because of course I compared everything to them after I left.

Next we moved on to Mountain Dew. These girls were really nice as well! Every sister I talked to said, 'these are the girls I can call at 2 am and I know they'll have my back. They are more than my friends...they're really my sisters!' I loved that! I didn't feel as at-home with this group as I did with the first, but I still loved talking to them! They're second on my list.

Thirdly, I met with Diet Coke. This experience was not even remotely close to the first two. The sister I got paired up with was very awkward, and it was very obvious she was nervous. We had no common ground, and I had to end up asking almost all of the questions because she wouldn't speak up! I was passed on to another girl, and sure enough she was the same way as the first! I was very disappointed with this sorority ):

Fourth was Orange Crush. This was just an okay sorority for me. I talked to three different girls, and we had good conversation about books. I had a great Edward/Jacob debate with one of the sisters--both of us are team Jacob--and it was fun! I liked talking about books...it was different! But still, I didn't have that I-can-be-myself-at-home-feeling. I will give them another chance though!

Lastly, I visited 7-Up. My sister is in this sorority at her college, and I had heard nothing but great things! Unfortunately though, the two sisters I spoke with and I were scrambling for conversation. I did not feel like it was the place for me. The girls were nice, but on the shy/quiet side. I am very outgoing! I almost felt as if my big personality was too much for them. I'm hoping to get a bid back though, because I would still like to get to know them more.


So, I think it was a successful first night! I can't stop thinking about Dr. Pepper! The girls in that sorority reminded me so much of my friends from back home! I'm really excited to meet the other 5 tonight. Hopefully tonight goes even better than yesterday did.

I'll have an update after I get home! I hope you continue reading my story! And if you have any advice, PLEASE feel free to send it! (:
