U of Arizona Rush Advice?
Hi everyone. I'm in the process of reading all the great stickies here. They've been invaluable. Great work!
I'm a first year student at UA. I have high school friends down here with me, but we're still all first year and all plan to rush. UA is a very Greek school, but rush week starts right away. I won't have time to meet many (any?) sorority sisters before rush starts. Do you think they're checking us out already on Facebook or MySpace? (Yes, I've always kept a nice presence on both sites.)
I come from a small family and only have one rec letter from a cousin/alum who went to another school....is that bad? Also, I'm on a great academic scholarship to attend here; my parents are far from rich, but said they'll spring for the all the cost (they've read the literature) from savings just so I can have the sisterhood experience. Will I be an outcast at the houses if I'm on scholarship and loans or have to work hard during the summer?
If the sisters ask what I did over the summer, I had to work really hard. Other than that, I took a family vacation to the mountains for only 4 days, hung out with my close friends. What if that's not "exciting" enough?
I want to make sure I meet sisters and they meet me during my sets. Should I mix around like at parties or is that frowned upon? Do some PNMs dominate conversations, and if so, what's the tip to see and be seen?
