Rush - What to NOT do or say

[jessabelle]

Going through rush this year..I'm confident about my personality and know 11 chapters can't all possibly hate me, but I'm not miss hottie. I've looked at the pictures online and all the girls are soo pretty and little, I'm not. I've watched Greek on ABC Family and looks seem important =/ do they really look for pretty girls?

nervous rushee!!

First of all: Greek is a TV show, not an accurate portrayal of sorority life. Please understand that.

Second: this thread talks about appearance and recruitment:

thank you for telling me about that thread, i didnt see it before and it is helpful : ] and i know Greek is purely fictional and the ladies ive met at the chapters never seemed overly concerned with appearance like that. im very nervous which makes it much easier to be intimidated by even TV shows. Greek isnt my reason for rushing..at all.

When it comes to appearance and recruitment there's really only one thing you can ask yourself. "Do I see myself coming in this house at my worst and being totally accepted?" Because even the prettiest girl on the planet can look a little scruffy during finals week, haha. Just about everyone I've talked to knew their sorority was for them because they felt at home.

I am wondering if it will be horribly held against me what I said during the fall informal recruitment period when I go through in the spring formal recruitment period? I did not receive any bids so I decided to try again this spring and see what happens, but I am nervous that what I said in the fall has already made it impossible for me to get a bid. Any thoughts?

Houses choose to post the pics in which the girls look the best! Wouldn't you?
