When's your recruitment? If there's time to contact a local panhellenic and register for recs, by all means, do so! If not, I guess that's something to consider if you ever try rush again.

Coming from a community college--she could be speaking of just about any public university in Texas because they are all going to seem large. They may not all cut heavy--they may not all follow the exact same process. You need to check that out. And at some schools, 23 may not be a big deal at all.

Gogreekorgohome: The advice on registering for recruitment is good and you should get additional info at that time--and your Greek Life staff can help answer your questions. If you have questions, send my a PM and I may be able to get you additional info....

I had my orientation tonight for rush week... It went very well...i'd say about 200 girls were there. I spoke to my rho gamma and asked her the odds of a junior getting a bid and she shocked me!!!--she said my chances were very good b/c juniors aren't counted into the quota. that they have two to three spots (per sorority) set aside for juniors...kind of like a 'free' bid. they can choose to use... of course you obviously have to impress them... has anyone heard of this?? I'm VERY excited about my first day of rush tomorrow... off to bed now!

okay so here's my update on the day's events. I found out there are 250 of us rushing...more than i thought for only six sororities. I was very surprised that i was extremely interested in 3 of the 6. I was very disappointed with one sorority. Those girls seemed less than interested in conversing w/ any of us. all of the other sororities had their girls rotate in and chat with us. but this one seemed very disorganized and i spoke to one girl for almost an hour and then she kind of dumped me on some other girl who had no idea what was going on... when we all left everyone commented on how much of a letdown that sorority was compared to others. the whole rush process was a success. it was a very long day however. it began at 10am and ended at 6....and we only had a 15 minute snack break. we were all tired, hungry and HOT.... we spent a good time of the day walking in 105 degree heat... and then lining up outside the houses and waiting there for 15 minutes before entering each house..by the end of the day we were all sweaty hot pigs. i'm SO looking forward to tomorrow. we can go to a maximum of four. wish me luck!!

Yes. It's not completely uncommon, but not all schools do it.

Good luck.
