Rush - What to NOT do or say

One of the things I'll never forget is when I asked a PNM what made her consider Recruitment, or something banal like that. She quietly said, "I've been terribly homesick." To do this, I admired that PNM. In that one quiet sentence, I knew that this would be a tremendous sister, one who would be kind and good to her sisters, and honest to a fault. I don't think everyone should use that sentence, or would appreciate hearing it, but I just wanted to hug her, and tell her that she'd be alright - but I couldn't. So, I said that I knew her problem, and wished that I could hug her but wasn't permitted to do so.

BTW, I was right. She pledged, and was a wonderful sister, even through five years.

Honesty goes a looooooong way!

I got all misty-eyed. These are the moments I hope every sorority woman joins for. The strength of a connection with another's life.

I'm gonna' have to agree with my sister on this one. I love hearing stories about how women truly found their "home" while going through rush. I don't have any biological sisters and joining a sorority really meant a lot to me. I am thankful, daily, that I met so many incredible women (throughout the NPC/ NPHC) who have made me realize that going Greek was one of the best things I've ever done!
