ClassicBeauty's Rush

Where is Classic Beauty going to put all of this stuff if she can't bring a purse?

I'm unsure of how many other universities practice this but at UF, each PNM is given a canvas tote bag (screenprinted with whatever clevel rush slogan PC has developed). These provide room for all the necessities and are left under the tents when PNMs enter the house (usually carrying a small purse they've kept tucked inside the tote).

Might ClassicBeauty's school be one that does this?

Classic has had so much advice before she has put on her glass slippers that she will have to start a new thread when rush really starts!

Now if there was only something to help with the humidity....

Ok, this might be a TMI, but if you're prone to blisters and/or chaffing, they make this AWESOME stuff for athletes called BodyGlide. It comes in a tiny little deodorant like stick. Roll it on your heels/feet (i tend to get blisters on my little toes) and its waterproof, sweatproof, and not messy. I swear on my life that it will save your feet (and anything else that chaffs/rubs). Its $4 or so at a running store or sports store.

When I read the beginning of this sentence about TMI and chaffing, I thought you were going to suggest that stuff that Monistat makes that you put on between your thighs to keep them from chaffing. That could be a good investment, too...but I wouldn't carry it with me all day!!

Whoa! How heavy is this bag getting???

Just bring your student ID, a few dollars in cash (should you need to run to a vending machine or have time to get a snack), keys, a mini-umbrella, bottle of water, a tampon, a comb, some blotting papers and lipgloss. Break in your shoes before the events -- they're going to be uncomfortable no matter what.

You don't want the pain of toting around a heavy bag all day. Plus, I would not recommend bringing an mp3 player. Yes, the recruitment counselors will be presiding over your things when you are at a party, but they're not going to lock them up and there may be people milling around in between parties.

The time between Party 1 and Party 2 is not that great-- you will exit one house, walk to another and have a few minutes of downtime before you are lined up to go into the next sorority party.

We recommend that you not participate in gossip about other chapters, but this downtime is a great time to socialize with the other PNM's-- some of whom could be future pledge sisters and many of whom could be new friends. Don't be antisocial--- get to know these ladies!
