Txsurfinwaves Rush

[Txsurfinwaves]

Hi girls!

Im new to GC..and will be going through recruitment at the University of North Texas. We have six sororities there:

Alpha Delta Phi
Zeta Tau Alpha
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Pi Beta Phi
Chi Omega
Alpha Pi

Since I know you guys like rush stories, I'll make sure to keep ya'll updated. Rush starts August 19, and ends August 24.

Antoher question however : I will be having a biopsy to see if one of my moles is indeed melanoma on August 29, and will be missing a day of school(this is the day before our 3 day weekend). If I do accept a bid and become a pledge, and if there is a sorority function that weekend that is mandatory, and I obviously cant be there, how bad would that be..or how much trouble would I be in? (ie fines). Should I just explain that I have to go 5 hours back to Houston to have surgery and that my doctor wants to do it as soon as possible- and thats the only day I can do it?

Thanks for any help!

I would think that for a BIOPSY you shouldn't get any sort of fine!!! Fines are mainly for if you just blow things off or don't have a valid excuse.

I thought so too. Sometimes, however, you never know! So i figured I would ask.

Hey! I just want to wish you a wonderful, fun, and happy rush! One of my friends from hs was a Kappa at UNT-and she loved it!! I can't wait to read your story!

[AGDLynn]

Have fun! I hope that being Greek no matter the organization will always be a wonderful experience!

I had a melanoma scare last year so I have some idea of what you're going through and my thoughts are with you.

Try to enjoy the week the best you can, find the home that is right for you and above all, take care of yourself! Your new sisters will be more concerned about your health than whether you can attend an event so don't worry about that.

Best wishes!

Best of luck! I hope you find your home.

I think I may have met some Zetas from UNT at our Convention last year. Best of luck to you! I know we all can't wait to read your story!!!

Health reasons are a valid excuse for missing an event--plus, in Pi Beta Phi, we don't fine our new members. I don't know about other groups....

Anyway, good luck, and I'll add you to the long list of "Who's rushing in the fall???"

Hi Txsurfinwaves,

Welcome to GC and good luck going thru rush.

Having surgery to check out a mole for melanoma is important and like the others have said that health reasons are valid excused attendance & not a reason to fine a sister.

I'm sure they will understand & that everything will work out for you.

Txsurfinwaves - I can't imagine that any sorority would fine you for a biopsy! You just enjoy your rush, and I hope you get the bid of your choice!



FWIW, I had my own melanoma scare last year (it runs in my family). Mine turned out to be a basal cell skin cancer, which still must be removed & monitored, but is a MUCH better alternative! Hope you're as lucky!

just relax...have fun...
and don't worry if you have to go get checked....they are already with you.
good luck.
