My recruitment was so competitive/fun/stressful that .................

my rush was so clueless. i went thru rush totally unaware that i was cutting some of the most sought after sororities, just enjoying getting to know the sorority girls as i went from house to house. i look back now and chuckle about it-i never got nervous, because of my cluelessness.(I did have recs. and new outfits and can talk easily with strangers, so i am sure that helped-a lot!)

^^^ THIS. I had no idea how anything worked, I was so ridiculously ignorant. I barely knew what a sorority was, let alone what the individual reputations were, and I had no recs or alumni advice at all (but OSU is deferred and not what i would call competitive, so it was ok). I was the epitome of "not doing your research"- i'm sort of embarrased about it now! But I loved the whole process and ended up where I was meant to be . Just proof the system works if you let it.

Oh how OSU Rush has changed. Our's was not deferred -- early September before the quarter began. Soooooo.....

18 houses in one day....my day after first round of Rush was so silent. Why? I was hoarse! (and my feet hurt)

In ONE day?! I thought it was bad having 18 houses over two days. That's crazy.

Yes ma'am, first round was all 18 in one day with a one-hour break for lunch at a Fraternity house that typically has only two ladies rooms. Even my face hurt from smiling.
