I just recently joined GC and love it! I can't wait to have formal recruitment in the fall. I go to the University of Pittsburgh and I rushed last fall semester in 2006 as a freshman.

I had come to Pitt without knowing much about sororities and without really being very interested in them. I remember I told my mom that I didn't think i'd join a sorority and that it probably wasn't for me.

Well as you know things change.

I didn't know many people going to pitt and this one friend of mine that i knew really wanted to rush and she didn't want to do it by herself so i said i'd go with her. I also convinced a friend of mine on my floor to do it with me as well.

Okay here are the sororities that go to Pitt
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Epsilon Phi
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Phi Epsilon
Delta Zeta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Sigma Delta Tau
Sigma Sigma Sigma
Theta Phi Alpha

In a random order i'm going to name them after european cities
Paris
Madrid
Barcelona
Copenhagen
Stockholm
London
Prague
Vienna
Amsterdam
Dublin
Berlin

Ps Rush for me kind of feels like a blur but i'll try to remember everything!

Beginning
Meet the Greeks is held in the student union. You get to meet the officers of the different sororities pre-rush. All of the sororities seem the same and its hard to tell them apart. My friend and i had previously me the president of the Paris sorority and went to their stand to talk. We both kind of wanted them. My other floor friend kind of liked them all.

Rush-
11 Rounds
The first party i went to was in Vienna. They did a cute song and their sorority suite, (Pitt Doesn't have houses except for one), was really nice and bright. Everyone really liked theirs and I had a good conversation as the first house.
We visited all of the houses or chapters and to me they all seemed the same, asked the same questions so it was hard to tell them apart.
I do remember going to Madrid. The girls there were really beautiful and had a bit of a reputation. My rusher was really nice and we had a nice conversation, but I knew the house wasn't for me, I could just tell right away.
The next house I remember going to was Prague. The girl I talked to I remember we both loved the same book and talked about that but she was kind of shy. I remember I had to kind of pull a conversation out of her. They were nice but the other girls in my rush group didn't really like them at all.
I can't really remember the other groups they all seem the same!

Time for ranking after 11 rounds.
I ranked Madrid last and I ranked Paris first. I think I ranked prague somewhere in the middle. Vienna was also top on my list. London, Amsterdam, Bercelona, Berlin, Copenhagen and Stockholm and Dublin were mixed in there as well.

I have an insatiable appetite for rush threads. I feel like singing "Feed Me" from Little Shop everytime I check and no one has updated. Please continue ASAP!

Okay Round 2-8 Rounds-Philanthropy
Now I got my list back of my houses I was supposed to visit. I only got 7 out of 8 but that was okay I didn't mind not going to another house because it was really tiring! haha.
I was shocked to find that Madrid had me on their list because I had ranked them last. I didn't really understand why.
Madrid-Nice girls, but still not for me. I don't know why I was there because I had ranked them last, I guess they must have liked me.
London-I talked to a few girls and it was really nice. Their suite is bright and airy.
Paris-had a good time, I really liked this house the best out of all of them so far.
Dublin. I had talked to this one rusher who knew a girl who went to my high school. I had gotten along with her pretty well and other girls in this sorority so I liked them alot as well.
Barcelona-Again the girls were nice, but they weren't anything to rave about. Some of the conversation was forced although they were pretty peppy. maybe a little too much for me.
Prague- The girls here were really nice. I know alot of the girls in my rush group didn't particularly like them and thought them a bit dorky. I admit I also thought this, and didn't really see myself there. But the girls were really friendly. I had a friend in another organization in this sorority, but I didn't talk to her.
Copenhagen- Again nice girls, I didn't really click with anybody I don't think. 2 girls that I talked to were nice but a little too intense for me. I didn't think I fit in here very much as well.
Stockholm-A girl that I talked to at meet the greeks came over and said hi. I thought that was really awesome. She was really cool. I liked this sorority

Now back to ranking.
Paris
London
Dublin
Stockholm
Barcelona
Prague
Copenhagen
Madrid

At least it won't be too long before the current recruitment threads start.

I was trying to look at their website, but couldn't find greek life. Which campus was it or is there a main campus? Most school websites make it easy to find, but this one I was having problems with. I love looking at sorority sites because each one is so different and unique so hopefully you can help! Good beginning to your story btw
