I'm already keeping a rush diary with my initial thoughts, etc., so you guys will get a pretty detailed rush breakdown come september!

Welcome Sarah and good luck with Recruitment!

Please post your story - I love to hear what's happening at BG. It's been a while since I was there and when I saw the numbers from recruitment at BG last year, I was stunned. Some of the powerhouses from when I was there definitely have switched places with some of the smaller houses.

The point of saying that is to keep a wide open mind when you rush...don't look at how pretty a house is, or how many girls are there, what you've heard about them, or where your rush buddy thinks is best...look for where you feel the most comfortable. Also don't be devastated if a house you really liked cuts you (not that it will happen!!). I remember being crushed when the house that I thought I SHOULD like (I was a legacy) cut me. After all was said and done, I saw that I would have been miserable in that sorority and with that group of girls.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Recruitment numbers were apparently huge last year and I've heard that they're expecting even more this year, so it's going to be crazy.

I think it would be really hard to judge houses. haha. because there are all the nice cottage-y, colonial houses AND all the dorm-style houses on the other side of campus.

That's what is going to suck. walking from a house on one side of the campus to another house ALL THE WAY on the other side.

I just hope we go to the conklin houses on the second day, since we start at 9am, and my dorm is right by conklin, haha.

I was really nervous before, but I'm doing pretty good now. I'm calming down. One of my friends is a KD who is transferring to a (I think) KD-less school. So she's bummed since she was looking forward to rush this year.

Anyway. Thanks for the luck & such! <3
