[PinkShipChick07]

Hello Everyone! I just wanted to post this morning and let everyone know that Rush starts at Shippensburg University (Pennsylvania) on Monday Sept 15th!!! Last night (Wednesday) was Sorority Open House. Boy, was I SO nervous trying to think of questions that didn't sound lame. I think I made a fine impression though and I'm so glad I went. Well, like I said...Rush starts Monday and ends on Thursday September 25th. Wish me Luck and feel free to send TIPS to help me!!! Thanks a ton!!!

i see a couple of locals on the list. on my campus the locals don't rush with the nationals (the have fall rush but they have competely separate events) - does it also work that way on other campuses?

At the state schools here that have locals, I believe that they all rush together and there is pretty much no difference between the two...the locals are usually older than the nationals.

A rush thread with Alpha Phi! Good luck!

Thanks for all the support girls. I'm so excited and I can't wait until Monday gets here!!! Is it normal to be nervous?? This is all that I can think about...I'm gonna go crazy before next week!!
Based on my impressions last night at Open House, Phi Sigma Sigma, Alpha Omicron Pi, Delta Zeta, and Alpha Sigma Tau are my top choices. I especially liked Phi Sig. The girls were really nice and I loved talking to them. We only got 10 minutes to talk, but I talked to the Recruitment Chair for most of the time. I honestly think I made a good impression with her...does that help? I mean, does she have more power over bids than someone else or anything like that? That might be a stupid question...but oh well..at least I'll know the answer. Besides just being able to talk easily with the girls at Phi Sig, I felt like there was some kinda connection but I can't really put my finger on it. Anyway, there was definately something there that I didn't feel with all the other houses. I really think I would find a good home with Phi Sig, but I'm still willing to go to as many rush events as i can next week. Who knows...I might find out that I like someone else more and that I'd fit in better there!!!
Thanks for all the support...it makes me feel alot better. Someone told me earlier that Ship isn't very competitive. I guess I shouldn't be as nervous as I am...but I can't help it. Any suggestions on how to avoid being so nervous???
