Couldn't think of a good way to replace chapter names, so I decided to use MTV shows. This is going to be delayed a week...bid day for me is Monday!
There are 13 sororities on my campus:
True Life
Parental Control
MADE
Teen Mom
Jersey Shore
Cribs
The Hills
Real World
Disaster Date
Fantasy Factory
The City
Sweet 16
World of Jenks
I'm a sophomore rushing for the second time. I rushed Fall '09 and unfortunately, only received a bid from a house I didn't feel comfortable with or connected to. Since they are a new house, I felt like they only wanted me as a number, rather than a person. I tried to make it work but it never did...I never felt like I belonged. So, after dropping, I wasn't allowed to rush for a full calendar year. But now it's here! I'm excited to see where I'll end up. I definitely feel a lot more comfortable about the process, and my social skills have definitely improved (lost that nervousness that most girls had last year). Hoping it works out!
By the way, recruitment is set up as the following:
Day 1 - School Spirit Day: Meet all 13 houses, 15 minutes each.
Days 2/3 - Philanthropy Days: Visit up to 9 houses between the days, watch videos or do crafts while learning about philanthropies. 40 minutes each.
Days 4/5 - Video Days: Visit up to 6 houses between the days, watch videos about a day in their sorority and get house tours! 45 minutes each.
Day 6 - Preference Day: Visit up to 3 houses, be a part of the sorority's rituals and have dessert. Immediately after, rank the houses and sign your bid card. 1 hour each.
Day 7 - Bid Day!
