Miss*Kay's Fall '07 Rush Chronicle!

[Miss Kay]

Hello everyone! Rush at my school does not begin for another month or so, but as always, there is a lot to think about, prepare for, stress about, and be excited about in the meantime!

I am transferring to a somewhat small cal-state school. There are only two NPC sororities at my school. I do not believe that rush there is very competitive at all, and through looking online, it looks like each chapter has only between twenty and thirty members. They stress online and on pamphlets that were handed out at orientation that junior transfers are very welcome.

I know I made a booboo when I posted a question specifically about what school I am attending. So in order to maintain the most amount of discretion at this point, I will from now on refer to each sorority as Sugar and Spice.

My school does deferred recruitment for fall, so only students with 12+ units are allowed to participate. I'm super excited to get started and cannot wait! I am a little bit concerned and confused about the process though. Online, they still have formal rush info for spring '07 posted and nothing about the fall recruitment posted. On Sugar's website, they have gotten a head start and have posted dates, times, locations (there are no greek houses on our campus yet!), attire etc. It looks like the first three nights will be at someone's house somewhat near campus. Each of the three nights has a theme, which sounds fun. We are instructed to wear casual attire. The fourth night is going to be at a restaurant near campus, and our only attire directions are to wear something warm. Spice has yet to post anything about their process and events, but it's still early...

So I'm a little confused about this whole thing with my school. I wonder if both Sugar and Spice will have events at the same time or separately. Will we be able to attend both groups' events, or do we have to chose one group to attend. I keep reading about cuts, and different rounds, and pref nights. Where does that come in with only 2 groups, when the events are held off campus. I wonder if at some point, the events become invite only? I understand that the situation might be a little bit different at my school since it is both small and the greek system small and new. It's kinda a bummer because the structure seems so different than from what I have been reading from your stories on here.

Needless to say, I am a bit confused, and a bit nervous, but a whole lot excited! I will make sure to keep you all posted as new info becomes available, or if i need to vent or ask questions, and of course, once rush starts!!

Much love
