Princessjv's Rush Thread
Hey everyone!
School and formal recruitment starts in less than a month, so I figured I’d start my rush story now! I’m from Canada, so formal recruitment and greek life in general is pretty different from the stories I’ve been reading on here, especially the SEC recruitment stories! Last year I took classes at the university (wasn’t a fulltime student though…this year I am!) and I had friends who are part of the greek system, so I kind of know a little bit about the chapters here.
There are four panhellenic sororities on my campus, and for obvious reasons, I’m going to give them all nicknames. I’ve decided to go with Disney princesses to go with my username!
Ariel- One of my best friends is in this house, my cousin is also an alumnae of Ariel (from a different campus.) The girls that I have met are very nice and seem like a lot of fun
Belle- I have a couple friends in this house and the girls I have met are all very nice.
Cinderella- I’ve met a lot of these girls at parties and events from last year, they are very sweet and down to earth.
Sleeping Beauty- Sleeping beauty is a smaller chapter, but I've met a few girls, and they are very nice.
I've gotten a lot of great advice from reading around on this site and I'm so excited for recruitment to begin, I'm going to try going in with an open mind, but after being around for a year already it might be kind of hard.
I'll probably update more when school starts, events start happening and formal recruitment begins!

The bright side is that you don't dislike any of the chapters. Rejection stings, but you still have one that you love, plus two more that you're so-so about and the next round could change your mind about them! Good luck!

Princessjv,
I am so glad you were cut by Belle early. Now, before you get mad, and think I'm wishing evil on your rush experience, listen to why! In the past, before release figures, Belle would have had the option of keeping you around all week even if they had no intention of offering you a bid. This new system forces chapters to release people they aren't really interested in pledging and allows those women sufficient time to see what the other chapters have to offer rather than spending a whole week dreaming about groups that they won't get bids from. The other groups on your campus are likely just as wonderful, and now you get the chance to focus on them without Belle getting in the way. Enjoy the rest of your week and best of luck!
