Here goes my rush story....
I went through rush as a junior, after my best friend had rushed the year before me, and was a DG. I didn't think that I would get a house because I was so old (relatively speaking). My campus has seven houses, AOPi, A-Phi, DZ, Tr-Delt, DG, GPhiB, and Sigma Kappa.
On info night I would have been totally overwhelmed, but I saw my best friend and was much calmer because of it.
After info night, I knew a few things for sure. I was not GPhiB or AOPi material. The Gamma Phi's were all really blonde, stick-thin and silicone-laden. On the other hand, the AOPi's just did not do a lot to present themselves well physically. When you are a bigger girl, you should just not wear skin tight clothes.
On day one, I had pretty much the same feelings, but was crazy about Sigma Kappa and Delta Gamma. I knew that I had a tough decision ahead of me, because my best friend was a DG, but I loved all the Sig Kaps that I met, they were just so down to earth and beautiful and wonderful.
On day two, everybody got four parties, and I went back to DG, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Phi, and Gamma Phi Beta (I have no idea how I got called back there). The conversations at Alpha Phi and GPhiB were awful and I couldn't wait for the parties to be over. But I left SigKap and DG, knowing that I could be a sister at either house.
Pref was horrid. I went to DG's pref first, and my best friend preffed me. I was already very torn about what to do, and that just did not help. She told me something that stuck with me until I filled out my bid card, and that was that I should go where my heart took me.
After DG's pref, I went to Sigma Kappa's pref and felt instantly like I was a sister. I started crying during Sigma Kappa's pref, and knew that was where I belonged. But I was still torn, because I thought that I should join DG with my best friend.
I talked to my rho chi, and she told me that I should join the house that I thought I could turn to if I ever had a problem.
I filled out my bid card, and put Sigma Kappa first.
The next day I got my bid to Sigma Kappa, and have been a Lil Snakey K ever since. And my DG best friend and I? We have always been and will always be best friends. I know that I made the right decision in my choice of house, and will never second guess that.
Love in Sigma,
Lil Snakey K
