Auburn University Rush--Fall 2007

[AuburnMom]

Hello...My daughter is rushing this week at Auburn University. I don’t have enough details to give you a full rush story, but I did get enough details from her to start a new thread.

I know that there are several GCer’s with friends/relatives rushing at Auburn this fall, so I figured if we all worked together, we could give you all enough details to keep you interested and tide you over until you get a real rush story (or at a minimal we can chat amongst ourselves while we wait for our daughter’s/relatives results)!

Ice Water Teas-Yesterday and Today

My daughter (we’ll call her Kate) went to 9 different parties. They started at 11am (after convocation) and finished at 6pm. Kate had a good time, but she did mention that it was a pretty quick pace. I had talked to her Monday night (before the first day of Ice Water Teas) and she and her roommate/suitemate were nervous and excited. I think day one worked out for all of them and they enjoyed themselves. The biggest challenge seemed to be making sure you kept good notes as you moved from sorority to sorority. The Pi Chi’s did a good job in explaining what was going to happen and when it was going to happen. Kate likes her Pi Chi!

Today is day two of Ice Water Teas. They were going to be busy attending 7 teas from 8am to noon (quite a pace!). They have already been told that they will have to be prepared to put together some sort of list this afternoon. I believe the girls are supposed to be ranking the sororities in the order that they would like to return to them and that their list will then be cross-referenced against the sororities list to prepare the invite lists for the second round of parties. (Feel free to correct me if I got this wrong!)

I’ll update tonight after I hear from Kate………
