A totally honest thread...from long long ago

I actually left out the sorority name on purpose. My point really was the truthful story with the hope that when girls write their stories that rushees (or pnms as they are now called) can learn what to do and not to do under real circumstances. And that if someone posts something about their rush that might not be so flattering about a house or chapter...learn from it and don't be afraid of retaliation if what you said is true, said in good taste, and has a possible benefit to the reader.

So: in full disclosure I will say: I am an alumnae of AEPhi. And I went to USC. (Southern California, not Carolina)

Thank you very much for posting your story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

It was so wonderful to read your story. Thank you for sharing that with us and how wonderful for you and AEPhi!

To the OP (and everyone else), if you haven't already read this rush story, please do so when you get the time because it's my wish that all rush stories could be like this (and like yours too!):

CurlyGirly's UF Experience

I highly recommend it. I'm thinking kdonline (CurlyGirly's HS Journalism teacher) recommends it too!
