Almost64's Recruitment Thread (at an SEC school)
Hey Ladies,
First off, this forum has been SO helpful for me! Great tips! I knew nothing about sororities before this. I go to an SEC school with delayed rush, so it doesn't formally start until January, but we've had practice rounds and such to let us know what the process is like. I'll say the name later (I'm not sure if it's allowed?), but it's probably pretty obvious where I go.
I came to my school not really sure if I was going to rush. I ended up not really making many friends from my dorm or from classes, and I really want to make genuinely good friends in college and not just have the ones I had from high school. So I'm rushing.
Both of my parents are European and were educated in Europe and have no idea about Greek life and think it's just about boozing up. Likewise, they really don't have any non-immigrant friends, and I didn't really know anyone in a sorority before coming here. Thus, I have NO RECS. Bad idea? Probably, but what can you do? To be honest, I just can't compete with all these girls that get numerous recs for ALL sororities and have legacies to several chapters, but we'll see how it goes. I have no legacies, no recs, and heck, I don't even really know anyone IN one.
Chapters on campus (hah given fruit names):
Apples
Raspberries
Pears
Cherries
Blueberries
Oranges
Peaches
Strawberries
Grapes
Plums
From fall rounds, I got a feeling of chapters that I really liked (raspberries, peaches, plums, and cherries), but I'm not going to really discount anyone because fall rounds were so short (only 15 minutes in each house).
Anyways, wish me luck! I definitely need it. They say that everyone here who "maximizes their options" will get a bid somewhere, but rush is soooooo competitive here. I think sororities are a great way to meet people and make lasting friendships, so we'll see where I end up!
