Favorite part of rush?

Our welcome ritual!!! I LOOOOVE it.

And I love finally finding out who our new members are . Recruitment just started on Saturday, and over the next few weekends my Ireland-dwelling butt will be glued to my e-mail!!!

Seeing my "rush crush" walk thru the door on Bid Night! I have been lucky in that each year- the girls that I really clicked with became a sister and just seeing her face when she walked thru the door and her running up to me - so happy - it was like I became an instant mother to this newbie! It was the best feeling ever

as a collegian, all the frills: the yard dances and songs, the costumes, the decorations-just like nutbrown said. then seeing who came back day after day. trying to help a nervous pnm feel welcome and comfortable, and trying to find an interesting subject to discuss with her. i liked the challenge.

as an alum, bid matching. you are so right, the adrenanlin rush one gets when the first girls on the list are matched is like no other.

we did mostly informal rush with my chapter and i loved showing up to an event and having new people there. I loved meeting new people and then watching them become more involved with us and more excited and then giving them a bid is so much fun! i especially love to see the women i brought to recruitment events deciding to join and when tehy are initiated it is the greatest day!

I love PREF night and all the frills... I know that we are going to a non-frill world but I love the frills. I don't miss the food but it would be boring to not have skits and balloons.

I wish now that I had volunteered to coordinate one of the nights, if not the whole thing. I hope to one day get to sit in on bid matching, I want to experience that "high".

Bid day! Finally an end to all the anxiety, and it was always so nice to see who our new girls were. Better than New Years!

Everything about it! I love meeting the new girls and when they walk through the door on bid day it's awesome. I also just love all the quality time it gives me with my sisiters, especially after pref night when we're all pumped up and excited and we can't believe we have to wait a whole day to find out who will be our new sisters.

I love skit practice and laughing at each other and the cheering inbetween rounds. basically I love it all and I'm so excited to go back to my chapter this weekend to help out as an alum for the first time
