Rush 2007
To all of you rushing this fall (2007)...best of luck to you. Whatever greek organization you choose (and remember, YOU are choosing just as much as they are), it will be the best place for you. Rush is the most stressful part of the whole thing. Once you find a sorority/fraternity that suits you, the rest is nothing but fun and friendship. I swear. I am almost jealous to read about all the people starting out now. Those days were some of the best of my life (but it was a long time ago for me).
Keep your smiles on. Ask questions to the members who are introducing you to their sorority sisters/fraternity brothers. Chances weigh heavily in your favor that you will land in the right place. If you don't find the right fraternity/sorority, then remember that a year on campus getting to know different members of different greek organizations is much more valuable than rush week. Don't lose faith. And if you decide not to pledge as a freshman, there are plenty of other organizations that are not Greek-related that you can join until you decide if going Greek is even for you.
Anyway, the main point of my post was to offer encouragement to those who are braving the course of recruitment week, wherever it is. I swear, the week will end, and you will probably end up really glad that you did it.
Good luck to all of you!

My best friends wonderful/beautiful/funny daughter at FSU. She's all set from recommendations to wardrobe, but her enthusiasm and open-minded attitude should be her greatest asset.

I WILL GET TO YOU
I know the results are really gonna start rolling in. My mom and sister are coming from VA tonight to visit. I haven't seen them in over 5.5 years so it might take me a bit to update because we will be doing some traveling. But never fear. I WILL be checking the forum on an almost daily basis and I WILL update ASAP
feel free to PM me results
Thanks in advance
JILL
PS I am updated for today so far

I think AlexMack posted in the Auburn thread saying someone from her neighborhood went KKG 
Also, I just noticed this in the 2007 UGA rush thread - page 5:

So far of the nearly 40 rec requests we processed this summer, none of the girls have dropped out: at GaSouthern we had 2 Kappas, 2 AOPis and 1 Zeta; at Auburn, we had 1 TriDelta, 1 Kappa, 1 DG, 1 AChiO, 1 ChiO, 1 KD, 1 Gamma Phi and six DZs.

Wait, did I just say that?  
Congrats!
