Penn State Dance Marathon

[kelly_dagreat]

I'm currently a sophomore @ Penn State and will be a junior next fall but planning on rushing for sororities at my school. In my first yr, I didn't know much about the greek community here and had a very strong opinion against the whole idea. I rushed for fun this spring and came to realize what I've been missing in my college career. Although I got a bid from two wonderful sororities this spring, I've declined the bid because not every sorority at my school participated and I wanted to check them all out.
Though, It'll be my 3rd yr next fall, I have to be in school for an extra year due to my major (architechture engineering). Would you guys recommend me to rush as a sophomore (since I have 3 more yrs to go anyways)? what are some suggestions and advices for rushing as an upperclassman?? At my school, about 90% of the fall formal rushees are freshmen and I really don't feel comfortable rushing with them
I'd really appreciate honest comments! Thanks!

I thought this was a good article from an outsider about THON>

The article in the Inquirer was really complimentary of PSU and THON, so congrats to you all on a great event that gets you noticed for the good you do.

One question...as someone who lives in the burbs of Philly, and who has a few PSU branches around, do students at those campuses raise money for THON? I always see Penn State students out canning on local roads on the weekends, and I always wonder if it's for THON.

Penn State Delaware County is who gets me every weekend But I'm happy to donate! That's awesome!!

Yup! The branch campuses also raise money for THON. I think Penn State Hazelton was the top branch campus this year raising around $61,000.
