Hi, I'm Lauren and I'm kinda new here, this is my first time posting something, but I have been reading the forums (unregistered) for about a year now. I just wanted to introduce myself I am going to be a freshman next year at the University of Iowa, and I am hoping to rush and I just have some general questions about Greek life. I've read a lot on the internet, but some of it isn't really that specific.
First question: When is rush? I know that most schools have a formal rush at the beginning of the year, before classes begin and then also have a informal rush after the first semester. What are the differences between the two? (And if anyone knows the specific date for Iowa that would be great!) Also how do you find out more information about rush and joining a sorority, is there a meeting, or do they tell you it a registration? I've looked on the website they have, but it wasn't updated recently.
Here's my other question, I am kinda shy but I was involved with a lot of different things in high school, so what should I do to get to know more people? I know that I should be myself, but I'm not well endowed with the gift of gab, and I am kinda nervous about meeting a lot of new people and having to make a first impression. I don't want to come off a snobby or boring. Does anyone have any comments or tips on how to be more relaxed in meeting/talking to new people.
Thanks,
Lauren.
