Rush 2007
To all of you rushing this fall (2007)...best of luck to you. Whatever greek organization you choose (and remember, YOU are choosing just as much as they are), it will be the best place for you. Rush is the most stressful part of the whole thing. Once you find a sorority/fraternity that suits you, the rest is nothing but fun and friendship. I swear. I am almost jealous to read about all the people starting out now. Those days were some of the best of my life (but it was a long time ago for me).
Keep your smiles on. Ask questions to the members who are introducing you to their sorority sisters/fraternity brothers. Chances weigh heavily in your favor that you will land in the right place. If you don't find the right fraternity/sorority, then remember that a year on campus getting to know different members of different greek organizations is much more valuable than rush week. Don't lose faith. And if you decide not to pledge as a freshman, there are plenty of other organizations that are not Greek-related that you can join until you decide if going Greek is even for you.
Anyway, the main point of my post was to offer encouragement to those who are braving the course of recruitment week, wherever it is. I swear, the week will end, and you will probably end up really glad that you did it.
Good luck to all of you!
