Rush Experience

UFgirl · #1 08-19-2001, 01:11 AM

Hey everyone!

Okay......this is where I'm going to post my rush experience at UF!! Today was technecally the first day. What happened was they put all the women rushing in the University Auditorium (so many people!) and they gave us the low down on rush. Honestly, though, since I've been on GreekChat for a few months I pretty much knew all the stuff they told us (by the way..thanks for everyone's help in answering rushee questions

). After that we were put into our Rho Chi groups. Mine are sooo sweet! One girl even said that if any of us have trouble getting up early in the morning to give her our phone # and she would give a wake up call! I thought that was funny. Anywho, I know what to wear, I know where to go, and I'm ready for rush!! Tomorrow we start round one parties which will last for 2 days. I will be in parties 1-5 from 9am-12pm and parties 6-10 from 4pm-7pm. I'll probably post later today (cause it's already past midnight) sometime at night. Alright guys.......here I go

Alright guys, time for an update:

I just finished the first half of the first round of rush. I had such a good time today. All my nerves just went away. Today I visited DG, DPhiE, theta, kappa, PiPhi, and Sigma Kappa. I had so many great conversations and feel really confident about the whole thing. It's really unfair for me to rank them before I've seen all of the chapters ( 9 more tomorrow) so I'll leave that for tomorrow.

Talk to you all later

It sounds like you are having a blast with rush.I can't wait until Friday when rush starts for me. Good luck girl!!

UF brat.......yes I am in group 11! you're in 9? Cool!

Anyway, so yesterday was the last day of round one, and my face muscles hurt so much from smiling!! lol, but it was lots of fun and I visited tri-delt, phi mu, kappa delts, zeta, chi-o, alpha chi-o, alpha omicron pi, alpha delta pi, and alpha epsilon pi...phew, that was a long day!! I'm about go meet with my Rho Chi's to find out which one's invited me back, and tonight we start round two. I had a good time at all the chapters, and its hard to pick a favorite from just 20 minutes of party, but if I absolutely had to pick which was my favorite right now it would be DG. I felt the most at home there, but who knows there are still plenty of rounds to go!

Hey UF! Can't wait to hear about round 2!! Thanks for sharing.. it's so much fun listening to you guys go thru rush

Hey guys! I just got back from getting my invitations and I got less than I thought I would

The good thing though is that the invites I got back were all at chapters that I felt comfortable in, and would definetly accept a bid from any of them. I got invited back to Phi Mu, Alpha Chi Omega, Chi Omega, and Sigma Kappa. Round two starts today and continues on thursday (wednesday is the first day of school so there's no rush events) and then there will be more cuts. I'll post later on at night about how round two went! talk to you guys later!!

She had a quick moment of being sad about not getting a full schedule, but fundamentally, she wasn't sad about the invites she didn't get. She was happy about the invites she did get. Have your moment, dust yourself off, and move on.
