Rushing this fall... with braces?

[SWTXBelle]

I can't imagine it would be a problem - I'd bet that at least half of all the sorority members will have had braces, and so should be understanding.

What SWTXBelle said.

This thread reminded me of a girl that rushed when I was a collegian. She had a mouth full of metal (Invisalign was not an option) and I remember she had the brightest and biggest smile in the room. To sum it up, she had the grades and personality, pledged, initiated, and eventually became my sister-daughter.

This really should not be a big deal, there will most likely be some members with braces (and if they don't have them now, there are girls who've had them in the past).

We had a member who had severe jaw problems to the extent she had to get her jaw broken and reset to fix her teeth alignment problems. She was in a crazy head brace and stuff. She got the surgery over Christmas our sophomore year and so she actually got to get out of recruitment that year because she couldn't talk to PNMs normally (we had January recruitment).

She did a lot of background stuff like loading cookies onto trays, setting up glue for philanthropy night projects, etc.

What some people will do to get out of Recruitment! LOL

Seroiusly, braces are the least of your problems. IMHO, they show that you care about your health and overall appearance.

Good luck!
