TCU Rush.

[ebdelt]

I'm at TCU though I'm in a fraternity...still if you have any questions feel free to PM or ask in this thread! Nice to see there are a few TCU people here, I hadn't seen or heard of any before.

Just kind of doing some searching of my own, I was able to read blondie's retro rush thread, and it was a true delight! I was able to guess most of the sorority's right but it's funny to see how some things have changed while others haven't haha.

I have friends in Theta and TONS of friends in ADPi!

TCU is a great Greek school but I hear plenty of horror rush stories. So can't stress enough to get all your recs in, TCU does have a competitive rush. I wouldn't worry about being a legacy, because the only mandate is that a legacy be invited back for Round 2. I hear about legacies getting cut all the time. From what I know, if a girl makes it to pref round she is guaranteed a bid on bid day. IN FACT, one of my friends only had Theta on her pref card so was guaranteed the bid lol.

Okay, I thought of something else:

Become familiar with the names and nicknames of all 11 chapters prior to recruitment starting. That first round goes sooooo fast and it is easy to get all jumbled. If you at least know your Greek then that will help you keep the chapters straight. In addition, I think they allow PNMs to make notes after each house... definitely do that. You will think that you can remember, but really there is no way that you can.

This is true for some but not all sororities, FYI.

My son is a TCU Delt alum!

Helped out at TCU rush parties for my sorority and was a Delt Rush Mom which means I just made sure they didn't run out of food!

TCU has a very high percentage of its students who are in GLO's. Just do what the girls in this thread say as to dress and having recs in advance and you'll find a great place to land. All of the houses there have their strengths and you'll have an amazing four years. Enjoy and good luck!
