Spring Rush

ZetaLuvBunny · #1 01-21-2002, 12:16 AM

Spring Rush at MTSU (Middle Tennessee State University) starts Feb. 4th for us (Zeta Tau Alpha). I'm not sure when DZ is doing theirs (my new roommate's a DZ---she's awesome), but none of the other NPC sororities here (there are seven total) participate in Spring Rush besides DZ and us. There's also a local sorority, Phi Chi, having Spring Rush. Fraternity rush here starts next week, but I'm not sure who all is participating in that.

Anyhow, I just wanted to say that if anyone out there is rushing this Spring (or even next Fall) at MTSU, whether sorority or fraternity, let me know if you have any questions and I will try to answer them for you or I will ask someone else who will know!!! I'm really excited about rush as this will be my first time on <b>"the other side"</b> (enter Twighlight Zone theme song j/k).

Wish me luck! Good luck to everyone, whether you are a rushee or a rusher, and may we all fill our quotas!

Good Luck!! I am sure you guys will do just great. One of the women I advise with is an AOTT from MTSU and she is just wonderful--as I am sure all greek women at MTSU are. Have fun!

Nichole-that's awesome! I was at Sigma Chi on Tuesday night! I didn't get there until after 9pm, though because I had Psych class until then. It seems most of the rushee guys had left by then. I will definitely go to the parties on Friday & Saturday at several of the houses. I'm going to send you a PM! Check your messages!

Only six more days!!! I'm so excited! We have our Rush Workshop on Saturday morning. Yay! Tuesday Feb 5th is the first night. Hopefully we will have a lot of girls show up!!! Rumor has it that several are absolutely sure they want to pledge ZTA, and a few are going to meet us just to see, b/c they might still want to go through Fall Rush. Anyway...does anyone have anything to share about the whole informal Spring recruitment that might help me in any way? I'm almost as excited about this as I was when I went through!

I just talked to a friend of a friend tonight & I think I've convinced her to go through Rush! Yay! I also invited SparkliiQMTSU to come out & meet us even though she wants to go through in the fall.

Wow, everything is SO different here! We started Sunday night (Jan. 27) and every NPC sorority except one is participating. The first 3 nights were Philanthropy nights where we were only supposed to talk about philanthropy for 45 minutes.

(Not that I don't care about my philanthropy, but there is only so much you can say about it!). So the first 2 nights of this were 3 parties each and the 3rd night was just 2 parties. Then starting last night is 2nd rounds, which are social and scholarship night. Yeah, only 30 out of 107 girls came back to us, and we only cut 20

Tonight is the last night of that. Then on Friday we have our serious night which we call Inspirationals. Basically, whoever we invite back that night is going to get a bid. Doesn't mean they'll take it though

And then Saturday we have this thing called Walk, which I don't think many schools do, where all the sororities line up and the new members run to them... Now, we have no idea before this who we're getting. Anyway... as you can tell, I'm rather depressed about the whole thing. I am so glad that I am outta here after this semester and never have to deal with this again!!!

Good luck to everyone else out there

SSS1365---yeah see sorority Spring Recruitment here usually only ZTA & DZ participate in because we're the two smallest NPC groups on campus and we tend to get smaller pledge classes. Also there's a local sorority & lots of service & honors sororities that recruit in both spring & fall too. Someone told me yesterday that AXO didn't get as many new members either, and so they're also eligible for informal recruitment, but I think they decided against it for some reason. The fraternities here ALWAYS recruit in Spring AND Fall. Of course, Fall is bigger for them though, just like for sororities. In the fall we have all 7 national sororities participate.

Well tonight was the last night! The moment of truth comes tomorrow. We invited back 22 girls, and 18 of them came back

I'm excited, I really think we'll get some awesome girls. And, I REALLY glad I never have to do this again!

SSS1365--

I know that times are tough, and things may seem dire, but keep your chin up

Your chapter will always need your support and love as an alumnae too!! I hope you get all the girls you had back!

That sounds like me and 2 of my sisters...the celebrating after our last final was NOTHING compared to the celebrating after our last rush party, LOL! I mean, I love my sorority with all my heart but as far as rush was concerned, we were all burned out.
