Rush at American

[tridelta4ever]

Hi there,

I think your philanthropy idea was very good, especially when you're just getting to know the rushees. Way to stand out.

I can't help but thinking...WTF! Whoever that hallway person is, they should be very ashamed of themselves. Who would speak about someone that way period, much less in a perfectly public place. I sincerely hope that she was kidding (some joke ) and didn't ruin some woman's rush experience.
Ugh...that kind of thing frustrates me to hear about.

Anyway, Maya, can't wait to hear more!

Alright, y'all, second day....

WE KICKED BOOTY!!!!

It was our "Get Wild with AXO" theme- i've mentioned it before on this board. Animal print letters, khakis, and black boots, we serve animal crackers, gummy bears, and handmade zebra mint chocolate thingies. Animal print balloons, the works. We do a skit as a whole chapter, a littel song and dance,a dn then about 10 of us do this kickass dance to Tone Loc's Wild Thang... we change the words, so it goes

Workin all week, standing in line at Mary Graydon
So when the weekend comes I go get jiggy out paradin
Rollin down Mass. Ave
Greek Letters on a winnebaga
What a pearl, I know that girl
She's an Alpha Chi Omega
This girl we share the love, she says, 'you're my sister"
So let's go get it on, babydoll, let's hit that mixer
Shared a lot of good times, bad times and laughter too,
Said I'll be your friend till the very end,
cause that's what sisters do

IT'S SO SUPERFUN... befoire the dance there's this musical interlude, we all "jam out" and just let loose... we had one girl do "the worm", another was breakdancing, we were doing the running man, the Hammer dance, the lawnmower, shopping cart, everything. We had a blast- and the girls loved that we were so open and funny and just all about having a good time
They said they loved our energy, too- one girl said we had better energy in our last (10th) party than one chapter had in the first!!!

So many alumnae showed up- including Cosette, out 80 year old advisor whow as an AXO back in the 50s. She's such a hot piece, she shows up in leopard print everything, knee high boots, the works. They are so dedicated- one girl's boyfriend broke up with her yesterday on their FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY and she STILL came to help us serve punch and everything before she flew home to Turkey to be with her mom. We are so lucky to have great alums

Anyways, I'm off to shower and let loose for the night- the next round, Theme, is on Friday, so there won't be much word till then!

GO AXO!!!!

Okayt, we got some comments back from the Rush Counselors about what the girls thought about the party:

Only 3 negatives (from 10 groups!)
-too peppy (ok, next time I'll act like I don't care )
-too many sisters in the sorority (we're at total, and have over 70 women)
-they felt a little bombarded by sisters (this we need to work on, we have some very overzealous sophomores for whom this is their 1st rush, and they don't quite understand that 4 sisters on 1 girl is bad news bears).

But the positives were that:

-[B]we were hard to compete with![B/]
- our dance was hot
-we looked like the MTV VMA Awards
-genuine
-really liked each other
-had fun with it
and my favorite rushee's quote....
- "They were friggin' awesome!!!

So yay! Today the girls pick who they want to come back to for Theme. At my boyfriend's party last night all the fraternity guys kept coming up to me and my sisters telling us how much the girls loved us and trying to weasel information out of us Not so much, boys...

More updates coming....
