Sugar & Spice's Rush Thread

[sugar and spice]

I know some of y'all are addicted, so even though rush doesn't start until next week, I'm going to get this thread started! I've been at school since Thursday and just got my internet hooked up, and I've been incredibly social -- everybody is so nice, and we've been a bunch of fun stuff. I've been walking so much and there's been no time to eat; I wouldn't be surprised if I've lost five pounds since I got here!

I'm rushing at the University of Wisconsin, and we have eleven NPC sororities (let me see if I can name them off the top of my head!): Alpha Phi, Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Pi Beta Phi, Sigma Delta Tau, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Kappa Alpha Theta. I think the smallest chapter is around 65 and the largest is about twice that. I have heard great things about the Greek system here, so I'm really anxious to get started with recruitment. I have all my clothes, although some of them are still at home instead of in the dorms. (I live here in Madison, so it's just a 20-minute drive back to my house.) And I think I may have even convinced my roommate to rush with me! She's a freshman and I'm not sure she knows a lot about sororities, so I'm going to try to give her some advice and explain what they're all about before she goes through. She may change her mind, but I think we're both in agreement that since there's no obligation to pledge, it's a good idea to just go through recruitment and find out what it's all about -- if we decide it's not for us, we'll only have wasted some of our time and $30.

We have a sorority orientation meeting on Thursday -- what would you guys recommend that I wear to that?

Also, any last minute advice on ANY rush-related topic would definitely be appreciated! I've learned so much from Greekchat already, in the past month or so that I've been here. All of you give great advice and I don't know where I'd be without you!
