Rushing lonely

[graciegiraffe07]

Thanks for all the help I have gotten so far! There is something else I need advice on- When I signed up for a dorm to live in during the fall, I did not have a roommate. I was placed in a suite with 3 other girls who did not have roommates either. The suite we will live in has 4 1-person bedrooms and we share a living room and bathroom. 2 of the girls who I will be sharing a suite with are in two different sororities. I don't know either of them at all. How should I handle living with sorority women I don't know while going through recruitment!?

Handle it just like you'd handle living with any other girls. Most likely, there are rules about what they can discuss with you recruitment-wise anyway. If they know you're going through recruitment, they'll be a little cautious about potentially dirty rushing you in front of the other sorority member anyway.

This could be a good thing. (Not because I think you should talk to them about anything having to do with recruitment, because you definitely shouldn't.) Treat them as any other girls you would move in with, and make an effort to be at ease, get to know them, and to see your sweetness and shyness first hand. It could end up that they would say, "Oh, that's my roommate. She's really sweet and seems like a great girl. She's just shy."

I so just want to hug you. Good luck and I hope you enjoy the experience and find your home.

i am sure your roommates will be on the up and up, but don't share any opinions with them about any of the sororities. if they ask you anything about rush, a simple,"i'm enjoying meeting all the girls," or "i'm enjoying learning about the different sororities/philanthrophies/activities they are involved in on campus,etc." should suffice.

do your best to be friendly with your roommates. it will be a new school year, so look at it as the opportunity to turn over a new leaf.
