1992 RUSH

[Momof5]

I am not positive, but I think AGD may be only B session. There were definitely only the 3 groups during A session in 92'.

I'll admit I am getting old, and I did not keep notes at the time so this is not going to be very detailed.

I remember there was a sorority information session where each of the previously mentioned chapters had a table as well as Alpha Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta. I think almost every freshman girl was at this session. I remember one of my friends telling me that she was not sure how to take the two NPHC groups because they did not seem very welcoming. I understand looking back now that we were probably dumb rushees assuming they worked the same way as the other groups.

I also remember a casino night where each fraternity and sorority manned a different activity. This was a fun way to see all of the groups. (There were a lot more fraternities. GMI was like 5:1 guys:girls)

I went to both of these sessions because everyone on my floor was going. I had no idea what I would be getting myself into, but I decided that I had been having fun so I would give rush a try.

Finally, the real events started and I went to the activity for each chapter. I do not remember at all what we did, but I know they were silly fun things like Tie-Dye, Jewelry making etc.

After the first week I began to hear rumors. Beta Sigs were the partiers, Alpha Sigs the normal group, and I had been told the Theta Phis had low numbers.

I was really bummed because I had liked the Theta Phis the best. I also liked the Alpha Sigs, but I did not feel comfortable with the Beta Sigs. They were nice and pretty, but I just did not feel as comfortable with them.

Yes, Alpha Gam is only on B Session.

ASA has always been in both A session & B session. They're 2 separate chapters - Delta Nu-A & Delta Nu-B.

I thought that the BSP chapter in A section has since turned into the Alpha Phi chapter.

Here's a link that shows who's presently in A section and B section. http://www.kettering.edu/~asaa/links.html

I don't understand this part of the post - so you're saying that although you liked them the best, you dismissed Theta Phi because they had low numbers? Why?

I would respond to the GMI questions, but you seem to be sorting them out yourselves.

At GMI we did not cut chapters and they did not cut us. As I saw it most of the decision was based on what you did on the "free for all days".
Initially, I was going to activities with my hallmates which meant a lot of ASA activities, but I convinced them to go to some Theta Phi activities.

By week 2 or 3 I stopped going to Beta Sig activities all together. As I said I cannot remember every detail, but I know we went to activities at the actual houses, and I never went to the Beta Sig house.

By the end of week two I had the courage to venture out on my own and was going pretty exclusively to Theta Phi activities on "free for all" days.

If I remember correctly, there was an invite party at the end. I received invites to ASA and Theta Phi Alpha. Almost all of my hallmates were going to ASA. Did I mention that our RA was an ASA?
