Tracy, you are so awesome!!! You weren't a rushee from hell, you were a very normal girl who knew what she was looking for!! I think if everyone is honest, at least from the outset, they would want to be part of the group with the prettiest, coolest girls rather than the nerdy-but-sweet crowd. You have nothing to be ashamed of!!!! I was exactly the same way. Being a local gal myself, I did a little "recon" too ahead of time and I was told that all the pretty girls with money were Chi Os, Delta Gammas or Alpha Phis. Bingo!!!!! That's all I needed to hear. Wasn't even interested in the others. I was exactly like you were 1st party. I remember standing in this BEAUTIFUL new house, surrounded by 3 or 4 members who were eagerly rushing me. They were so nice and sweet and genuine, and all the while I was thinking to myself what a waste of time it was because I was dropping them first!!! I guess I felt a little guilty at the time but did it stop me? Noooooo way. And after second party I guiltlessly dropped the next group up on the food chain. I realize that not everyone is put in the position of getting to do the dropping, and not everyone gets to go back to all their top-choice houses, but still. The reality is, you want to have friends and fun and sisterhood, but that is pretty much available at any house. Most girls want to be part of a chapter with the best possible image too. Human nature!!!!!
