This is just an addition to jharb's post. BTW, for those of you who don't know, Jess and I are both IN Gamma's.
Our chapter is the smallest, but I really do love our numbers as well! I was proud of the fact that I knew almost everyone's name on my Bid Day! And another thing. I have a really good friend who is a member of one of the larger, more popular houses on my campus. When I first moved in last year I went over to her house to visit and see her room. We were standing in her doorway talking when another one of her sisters came in the door. She approached me and apologized for not knowing my name because she hadn't learned all the new actives' names yet! She thought I was a member of her house!!! (And the bad thing was I was wearing my Pi Phi lavaliere!

) That scenerio would never happen in our house.
I'm very impressed by what our house has done. We have finally reached the point where every room in our house is filled to the max, and we even have girls living out next year! That hasn't happened for awhile. Jess, I'm thrilled to hear you want to help our house succeed! Honestly, it just takes some excitement and dedication to help turn a house around. When rush comes around throw all of that energy into it! Rush is what you make of it. Good luck clothesgirl! We'd love to hear how your rush turns out.
