Rushing at a northern catholic university

[jessipoo915]

i always went with wearing what you would normally wear for the weather (like a nice sweater pants and heels) but i would do something different for the accessories. I liked to wear an interesting necklace that people always commented about (i wore a peace sign necklace that literally every house said something about) so basically pick an accessory that you think is interesting/stands out from the crowd.

my cousin went to duquesne and was in a sorority so ill try to get a hold of her for more specific info on rushing.


Good Luck!

I second that. My school in Western Washington had deferred recruitment too. Whoever thought to have actives and PNMs standing outside in the middle of wind storm/rain season was seriously misguided! But I digress. Definitely wear clothing that you're comfy in. If it's anything like my school the houses will take your coat at the door, so you won't be wearing it throughout the party, and a signature accessory that represents you as a person or has special meaning to you is a great way to be remembered, and is a great conversation starter if an active asks about it. GOOD LUCK!!!

Thank you so so much! The accessory idea sounds perfect!

Thank you! Again! Ha, I feel like I'm saying that a lot.

During rush orientation, the Pi Chi's will put on a "fashion show" which will give you some ideas on what to wear to each of the parties. I second what was mentioned before -- don't alter your style just for recruitment! At Duquesne we have 7 very different sororities so there will be one for you, don't worry!

Also I agree with wearing an accessory or piece of clothing that makes it easy for you to stand out in our minds!

Congratulations on making the decision to rush. You won't regret it!!
