Hi everyone! I'm currently a freshman at a Northeastern University. It's small but fierce. I went through Formal Rush this Spring, and unfortunately was cut from all of my houses on Skit Round.
For a while I was really upset by this, but I know not to take it personally and since then, I've decided to rush again next year!
I'm just afraid of this scenario repeating itself. I'm a very outgoing person who is involved on campus. I have a good GPA and am working on making it even stronger. I've tried to meet as many sorority women as possible and I get along well with all of them.
And unlike many older rushees, I don't have my heart set on a particular house-- although having gone through rush at this school already, I have my favorite few.
So any particular tips for me? Formal Rush is in the spring for us (we come back from break a week early, solely for Rush). There are open houses and whatnot in the Fall, and I intend to take any opportunity I can (I doubt we'll have many COB opportunities, but if there are any I'm there!)
I was wondering about getting recommendations. I have never heard of anyone getting them here. Greek life is tremendous on campus. I was wondering if it would be odd for me to have recommendations, especially if 1) no one else does that and 2) I rushed last year & didn't have them. Will I come across as desperate? This is the last thing I want! I just really want to be part of a sisterhood
Any advice is welcomed! As are success stories from people with similar situations... I can't be the only one!
XOXO
