another rush story-Fall 2006!

[rachrach314]

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.
