MISTAKES

Ok, so first, be sure you ALWAYS wear pink panties because they DO check. If you're not wearing them, you won't be allowed to wear ANY undergarments for the rest of pledging. Also, DO NOT under any circumstances let the goat die. They'll give you one to take care of until initiation. Also, you should try to keep it as healthy as possible because you're going to have to drink its blood.

do not ignore your good common sense! don't talk smack about anybody behind their backs no matter how much you dislike them. i promise i always comes back to bite you in the behind. most importantly if you are completely miserable dont go through with initiation or your college experience will be that much worse.

There's no such thing as an NHPC organization.

If I were you, I'd worry about the 2 more years of high school before worrying about joining a sorority. If and when that day comes, make sure you bring your snarky attitude to the interest meeting.

What sorority are you interested in, by the way?

sorry that was a typo i meant NPHC
and i respect your opinion about worrying about the present instead of the future & all but i have my mind set on this and it's not taking away from my education neither has it become a hinderance, so why should furthering my knowledge about something i have my mind set on be pushed aside?
also i dont mean to come off as having a "snarky" attitude...my guards were just up from reading other posts where people have serious questions and are answered with useless & petty remarks

Kudos to you for having read other posts, but read a bit more and see if you can figure out why "serious questions" sometimes get answered with useless and petty remarks on this site. There is a reason for it, and it'll go a long way in making this site useful to you in your attempts to glean information about maybe joining an NPHC group when you get to college. If you do this, you will truly be wise.

Probably because people are irritable and in bad moods. I doubt jovial happy people are snarky very much at all.

By the way, thats a general comment. I only skimmed this thread. So I haven't really gotten a snarkiness rating from it.

Remember that the greek community is very small. If you make unflattering comments about XYZ to ABC, you will make yourself look bad to both chapters.

Also try to represent the best of WHO YOU ARE. Don't make things up, or pretend to be something you aren't. If you aren't the most athletic, don't play along and act like you are. Show your strengths, but don't be afraid to laugh at yourself a little either. When intermurals came up in conversation, I remember telling one girl that I ran like a duck. (It's true!) but that I loved playing volleyball. This made us both laugh. (She was later my big sister!)

Remember that the girls in the chapters are a little nervous too. They want to make sure that they are making a good impression as much as you are wanting to make a good one.

If it's off color, don't say it. If you wouldn't repeat it in church... don't say it. I'm not saying that you have to act prudish, but rush isn't the time to tell "band camp" stories.

It IS a competition, and you ARE being judged. But guess what, you are judging them too. IMPRESSIONS matter. If you don't bathe or brush your hair... it MATTERS. You don't have to be physically perfect. (Who is?) but do the best you can with what you have. Show a graceful poise.

AND BY ALL MEANS USE MOUTHWASH. (Sorry, rushed a girl with FOUL breath once.... )

You thought a lil hard on your joke...it was almost funny but i couldn't seem to laugh.
