A very retro rush - with frills - Page 3

This was a great story, I had no idea how frilly recruitment could be! I was glad you got a bid from S&S, since that was the one I would have picked based on your descriptions of preferences. Did it seem annoying to you that your aunt was all up in your business and trying to pick a sorority for you?

My aunt wasn't annoying, just very eager. She and my uncle did not have any kids, so I was as close to a legacy as she was going to get.

Wonderful story! I was surprised that you didn't get Emma (I thought it was DZ) but so glad that S&S turned out to be the right sorority for you. Thanks for sharing!

that's really sad about your aunt

i mean i know her heart was in the right place, but i guess that's where being so invested in the process and legacy gets to be a problem. but yay for finding your home, this was definitely a different and very interesting rush thread to read (given what i've gleaned about how rush works these days from GC).

Just to clarify -- I'm guessing that you were not technically a "legacy" to Tri Delta. (I'm thinking aunts/nieces are not legacies for DDD?)

Correct - I was not technically a DDD legacy, especially since she was my aunt by marriage. I don't recall ever considering myself a legacy, but I certainly knew that was where everyone in my family thought I should be.

My aunt is calling regularly to make sure Emma stays at the top of my list.

Now that you have revealed Emma, what musical did they do?

Thanks - I forgot to mention that! They did "Carousel". I don't know if Tri Delta still does it, but I know so many chapters did Carousel that they were famous for it.
