And it's probably NOTHING like your Tri Delta friend went through at Wazzu.

You should get in touch with the Overlake Panhellenic and they may be able to help you get recs. Their contact info is probably on the NPC website. www.npcwomen.org The Seattle APh works with the UW so they are going to be much less help.

Yeah, I'm going to second that it's nothing like Wazzu rush.

Rush here is VERY laid back. Pan day is like, t-shirt and shorts. Pref day is sun dress. Juniors regularly get bids.

We're just trying to be honest. I think it's better for us to be honest with girls so they're aware of what they're up against. It's not like any of the large schools in Washington.

Greek Life at some of the larger institutions in the south (i.e. LSU, Alabama, Ole Miss, Auburn, and more) is a big deal. Girls start thinking about and preparing for rush as early as junior and senior year of HS.

Recruitment is extremely competitive because many of the girls are extremely well connected and prepared. Not to mention that most of them are freshmen.

These other GreekChat threads have good general advice for you since you don't know much about Greek Life (the first is somewhat specific to large southern schools):

You mean junior or senior year of toddlerhood for some of these girls...
