Another Retro Recruitment Story
I went through RUSH in August 2000 at Western Kentucky University. There were 7 sororities:
Alpha Gamma Delta
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Omicron Pi
Kappa Delta
Sigma Kappa
Phi Mu
Chi Omega
For the purposes of this story, I'd like to name them:
Phoebe
Rachel
Monica
Chandler
Ross
Joey
Marcel
I was REALLY unsure about going through rush. I knew several girls from my high school that pledged Monica. I did not like very many of them and this was the only impression that I had of sororities. My boyfriend really talked me into pledging. He was a year older and already a member of a fraternity. He had high hopes of me being a Phoebe or Marcel...either way though he explained that a sorority would be good for me. I would learn lots and be able to hold an office (which I had done in high school). I thought I would give it a shot but was very skeptical. The girls I knew in Monica were snotty, had lots of money...and just seemed very superficial...they fit perfectly the "sorority stereotype"....I was scared all of the girls in all of the sororities would be this way...
