The internets make it a whole lot easier for kids these days. When I was researching colleges 13-14 years ago, my bedroom closet was filled with college viewbooks I picked up at the college fair. I remember having to fill out a postcard and waiting 6-8 weeks for some of them to come.

Yep.

And you know how I had to find out about sororities? By actually meeting people in them. I didn't discover GC until right before COB so I couldn't very well go to it for rush advice.

I found GC a few months after I was already initiated. I too COB'ed.

I think remember your first few posts saying that you were rushing!

I COB'ed, too. I didn't discover GC until after I left college and moved to D.C.

I really wish I'd found it earlier, though. IF I HAD JUST DONE SOME RESEARCH. I had no f*ing idea how rush worked or that some sororities weren't inherently better than others. I didn't know what to expect from pledging or being a sister, either.

I joined GC in Jan 2003, which was actually like a year before I even joined a sorority but I never posted. I remember being semi-interested in formal recruitment freshman year which is why I ended up here in the first place. I really just lurked a few times and didn't really come back because I decided not to go through formal. I "rediscovered" this site around the time I got interested in Sigma and COB.

Although GC back then was not the wealth of info that it is now for PNMs. I really just wanted to do a rush thread lol.

Part of the reason it's such a wealth of information is because of you!

It's a hijack well worth taking.

KSUViolet06... I didn't really mean ripped apart as people being necessarily mean, but more of just moving under the assumption that he was picking a school based solely on Greek life when he later stated wasn't the case. Case of misunderstanding? My bad. Apologies.

But whatever... everyone makes their decisions their own way. I guess whatever works for you, as long as you're happy with whatever you decide to do.

On a HAPPIER (and more encouraging) note... good luck with college searching. I'm glad I've reached the (final) stage of my college education with graduate school so I know what it's like to have to research schools.
