After lurking the past recruitment stories and waiting anxiously for my own to to begin, it is finally time for my own! Starting some time next week, I'll be going through rush at my school, which has 7 NPC sororities.
I know very little about Greek Life, but I've always wanted to be a sorority girl! Everything I know about rush is based on what I've read on these boards or seen around campus. I'm extremely excited and nervous.
Rush is not extremely competitive at my school, but there are definitely girls who go through rush and do not receive bids. I've decided to code the sororities after some of my favorite stores and brands:
Vineyard Vines: These girls are known as some of the prettiest girls on campus, and they seem to have a really tight sisterhood. They definitely know how to have fun.
Rugby: I'm not sure what their reputation is around campus. I'm friendly with a senior, and she's extremely sweet. I also know a couple of the girls, and they seem pretty cool. These girls party.
Lilly Pulitzer: These girls are known as the nice and smart girls. I don't know much else about them.
J Crew: These girls just got back on campus, and are still establishing a reputation for themselves. I know a few J Crews, and they seem like sweet girls, but not particularly girls I completely click with.
Madewell: These girls are known as the gorgeous girls on campus. I've heard questionable stories about their pledging process, but I'm chalking it all up to rumor. I don't know any Madewells personally, so we'll have to wait and see.
BCBG: These girls have a negative reputation on campus. People say they get last pick of the new member pool. I know a senior in BCBG, and she's extremely bubbly and kind- someone I look up to. I click really well with her. I've met some of the other BCBGs though, and I've had some pretty awkward conversations. I'll have to wait for rush to make up my mind about them.
Chloe: These girls are known to be very friendly, but ultimately they have a reputation as girls who did not fit in elsewhere. I know a few, and they are definitely nice, but I don't click with them. I'll see how I feel after I meet the rest of the girls.
Based on the very little I know about these sororities, I have them ranked so far as
Vineyard Vines
Rugby
Madewell
J Crew
Lilly Pulitzer
BCBG
Chloe
I'm anticipating some changes, though
I'll update after the first day, wish me luck!
