WCsweet<3's Recruitment Story
Hello everyone!
Its finally time for me to post my recruitment story!
Well here goes:
In August, I knew beyond all belief that I wanted to be a Greek. My maternal grandmother and grandfather both had been, but my grandmother’s sorority isn’t at my school anyway and they both died before I was born My parents were part of the generation where the entire sorority (possibly fraternity, I’m unsure) thing was unpopular. However, my brother’s girlfriend is a part of a sorority and could not say enough about it. I loved seeing the letters on her sweatshirt and hearing all her stories from college. There were also two friends of my family who had been in sororities when they were in college and really encouraged me to rush.
I have really bonded with my roommate and we have made three really close girlfriends. Two of my friends are rushing (Denver and Boston), the third (San Francisco) is not, to everyone’s surprise, and my roommate (Chicago) has taken weeks of convincing but eventually she decided to rush as well. We all went to the first meeting together since we all live in the same dorm. I was very excited to have the information meeting so that rush could actually start!
After the rules, times and everything else was said, we were split into the Rho Gamma groups. None of my friends were in my group. Though there is another girl in my group who I have a class with, unfortunately she isn’t all that friendly.
There were 9 sororities (names may or may not be given at the end)
Arizona State Sun Devils
Arizona Wildcats
California Berkley Bears
Oregon Ducks
Oregon State Beavers
UCLA Bruins
USC Trojans
Washington Huskies
Washington State Cougars
Of the Greeks I had known in my home state, there was one in Trojans and one in Bruins. I also barely knew a Huskies, but she was more of an acquaintance of my mother. I had met a few Cougars, when they were passing out fliers and they had all seemed really friendly.

Reason: it would be bad to post the key in the first post...
