Rushing While Living w/ Sorority Women

[PNM_fashionista]

Oh, I wasn't planning on even mentioning that my roommates are in sororities (unless for some strange reason I'm asked)!

I'm just concerned b/c I have to fill out paperwork stating that I'm living with sorority members during formal recruitment and all the sororities can access this information.

I'm probably just being paranoid

They'll know, but I don't think they'll pay attention to it unless (like I said) you talk about them alot.

There were girls in recruitment who lived with sorority women, and we never paid too much attention to who a girl's roommate was unless they talked about Roommate or Roommate's Sorority alot.

Now if a PNM talked about that alot, chapters were more likely to assume that she only wanted to be in the roomie's sorority and cut her.

We occasionally had independents living in sorority houses, and when they signed in w/ their campus address, it was pretty easy to figure out where they were living. So it might be a situation like that.

Just be sure to show your interest and open mind at all the groups. And when you do visit your roomies' sororities, make an extra effort to talk to women other than them (don't blow them off, but don't spend the whole time hanging on them either). Rush can get stressful and confusing and you don't want to get in a situation where you say "oh screw it, I'm just going to go XYZ because Roomie is in it" instead of really going for it with the group that truly is the right match for you.
