Recruitment is still over a month away. School starts in two weeks though. I am hoping to join another activity on campus such as the student government, just to get involved and start meeting people.
I have my hair appointment set for next week, just want to put my best foot forward and make sure I look great before recruitment instead of just during recruitment. I will be attending a pretty small school, and there are 3 majors that are extremely popular on campus, and I'm double majoring in 2 of them... so I'll undoubtedly run into people I will be rushing with/ ladies in the sororities already. And impressions that you make on people before rush are just as important as those you make during, right? You'll never know who you might meet, and who might know whom...
I'm also wondering about recommendations. By reading some recruitment stories from other girls on this message board, it seems like a lot of people have been working on getting recommendation letters. But, it also seems like rush is so much different at other schools than here. I'm not sure if they would really be necessary here. People that I have talked to have told me that they are not required, but I can't help but wonder... If I sent in recs, would they be looked upon favorably or would I see overly-eager? I know girls from both sororities in other chapters from the university I used to attend. Would it be worth while to get a recommendation from these girls, or does it have to be alumni only?
Also, I don't know anyone at all at my new university, so obviously, I wont know anyone who is going through recruitment. It might seem a little lonely at first, but I guess it is for the better. I have a feeling I will meet so many new and interesting people by going at this on my own! Can't wait!!
