Northern Girl Thinking of Doing Spring Rush at a Huge Southern University

[DubaiSis]

I'm concerned about you saying you don't know any Greek women. You undoubtedly have sorority women in your classes. If you aren't meeting them, it's time to work your way out of your shell and get to know them. This will serve 2 purposes, 1-you will become more comfortable introducing yourself to strangers and putting yourself out there to make friends and 2-the sorority women will remember you (hopefully positively) when it comes time for rush. You can even use their sorority status as a reason to introduce yourself. "I see you are wearing your badge (letters, Lilly day planner, whatever). I am interested in going through rush in the spring or next fall and would like to know more about your experience." Just as an example of course. Don't stalk, be creepy,or appear that you want to become friends solely for the connection to the sorority. But it's ok to ask a question about their sorority membership. Once you do get to know some gals reasonably well, you can ask them for suggestions about informal rush. They might say they aren't doing informal rush but they know the XYZ's are. Or they might express interest in letting you know about upcoming parties. Or they might be really vague and thus you should probably let it drop.
