Anyway, how recruitment works, rush starts right after we get back from winter break, we spend a weekend going to informal's, which are about 1.5 hours a piece. Then come a lot of cuts, and you get formals, which last two weeks, one sorority formal a night. These can be up to three hours.
So the sororities are
Cinderella
Beauty and the Beast
Rapunzel
Sleeping Beauty
Thumbelina
Snow White
Cinderella: I loved these girls! They were extremely sweet and sophisticated. I enjoyed the conversations I had with them, and the seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say.
Beauty and the Beast: Their rush was very cute, but I felt really out of place with the girls, they just weren't my type of people. They were all very nice, just not for me.
Rapunzel: These girls had a very cute mystery theme, and I enjoyed talking to them and getting to know all the girls.
Sleeping Beauty: This is the sorority that all the girls in my sport are in, so I already knew a ton of them, I enjoyed their rush and hanging out with them and talking about everything. This also seemed to be the most diverse sorority which was interesting.
Thumbelina: I was completely blown away by this sorority! They are all the sort of rough and tumble kind of girls you wouldn't expect to see in a sorority, along with girls who you would. I felt like I could really be myself here and was very comfortable.
Snow White: This was the day of the Superbowl. They had the game on. I didn't feel like they really paid any attention to us.
We got our formal invites in the mail, and a good chunk of girls got cut. I only got Beauty and the Beast. I went to my Rho Gam to drop out, because I did not feel any connection with the girls in that sorority, and I didn't want to waste their time when I knew I wasn't going to pledge.
Turns out Thumbelina's formal invites got screwy, and I DIDN'T get cut!
I was super excited.
So, as you can see, I only went to the one formal.
Thumbelina: Loved it, had so much fun, got to talk to all the girls, I could see myself just hanging out with these girls. They're very chill.
So I suicided on my preferences, only listing Thumbelina. Since my school is on trimesters, bid day is the first day after spring break, on March 7th! Wish me luck!
