University of Arizona rush

Good luck on rush.

Just a word of advice, asking about the reputations of sororities is generally considered a major faux pas. Keep an open mind, and don't let what others say about a group influence your decision.

I didn't mean it so much in a stereotypical way. I just know that some sororities are religiously based so I was wondering about that and also study hours. I didn't mean it in a which one is popular or sleazy way at all.

I hope I didn't offend you and I'm sorry if I did.

Another question:
How should I dress for check-in and the informational meeting?

check-in and the info meeting are casual dress. Shorts should be fine.

It's ok. Study hour info may be provided at the informational meeting, you could also ask, but it varies from chapter to chapter and even year to year. (We vote and change things a lot!)

As for religiously based, the best thing is to check out the websites of each sorority. Their national sites may be even easier to find information on. A quick google search will net you the most results.

I would say whichever sorority is the friendliest with Beta, but I would be biased.

Are sundresses too formal for Sets I and II?

AZ-AlphaXi · #8 06-28-2006, 04:48 PM

I'd say yes ... ok for Set III but not for I and II ..

the chapters will be wearing t-shirts and shorts for set I

the Greek Life guide (that's on line) ...

http://www.union.arizona.edu/csil/gr...ifeGuide06.pdf

has pictures of what to wear and in this case is fairly acurate of what to wear ...

be sure to wear comfortable shoes as you will be walking from house to house and you won't want to have hurting feet

I think I'm good to go as far as recommendations. How many would you suggest per house?

Sorry about the questions concerning what to wear. I'd seen the website but I'm nervous (only 50 days to go and all - lol).

Obviously if two or more alumns from a particular sorority offer to write recommendations, you wouldn't turn them down, but I don't believe it's a situation where you need to stress out about getting two or three or more per sorority. If I'm wrong, I hope some U. of Arizona expert will correct me.

one rec per house should be just fine for the UofA ..
