Good luck to you too!! ^_^ I really am incredibly nervous and I think I just want to go home and start shopping and doing my application. It feels like this semester will never end!!! >.<

Another question just occurred to me. During Rush, do sister's ask you about your recommendation writers if you have any. I might be able to snag some recs from my sister's coworkers but I don't really know them too well. Would I get drilled on my recommendation writers to test out the legitimacy of my recommendations?...

If you haven't already guessed, I really AM trying to prepare for the worst

No. Those are to be sent in to the chapters PRIOR to recruitment. They won't ask if you have a rec or who wrote it because they'll already know that info.

This does not make it sound like you are planning on following the advice given. This rest of this semester is the best time to work on grades and cultivate your friendships with the sorority members that you know. There is still some time to get involved with activities which may boost your resume. Yet all you want to do is end the semester and go home and shop.

This summer is also the perfect time to be taking a few extra courses and acing them, as advised. Don't blow it by romanticizing about recruitment and shopping. (however much fun that is)

No, I really am studying a lot. I've actually had a very stressing week filled with un-responsible group partners for this Japanese project -_-. And I've already registered for an online course for the summer that should boost my gpa some more. Trust me, I'm taking all this advice seriously. It's just that this has been a long and hard semester and I haven't gone home since spring break, so I'm really starting to get homesick and tired >.<
