I'm sorry you don't feel comfortable revealing anything, but I really wish you would reveal your affiliation. You have put them in such a wonderful light that it's a shame not to be able to share. I am so happy you found a wonderful place to call home! It was a great pleasure to read! Thanks so much for sharing!

Ditto!
And sorry, but I'm clueless. The only JSU I know is Jacksonville State University in Alabama, and it doesn't have that many sororities.
Thank you for posting your story...you are a clever writer!

Great story! Thank you for posting it! I completely understand about keeping the school and code a secret - especially with upcoming pnms in your house. However, with the school a secret, I don't think it will hurt to tell where you ended up. I think you present a very positive image of your group.

This was probably the best story since Chuck Norris.

I think that this story was so engaging that we'd all like to have That_70's_Rush as a sister.

When I went through rush in the 70s my school also did the "empty envelope" thing. However, I don't recall seeing anyone with that disaster. I don't doubt that it happened though.

I really enjoyed reading the story, thank you.

We did that envelope thing as well. Now, that you mention it, that happened to my suite mate. She was the daughter of a prominent active alum in the town where our university was. They had a huge historical house on a main road which everyone was familiar with. She did not get a bid at all. It caused quite a stir and I felt bad for her because, although she was not very outgoing, she was a very sweet person. My other suite mate went to her legacy house and the other one was anti sorority. It made for an interesting year.
