HELP! Sophomore Rush?

[Britt_Danielle]

Yanno guys that's why I asked for some help. I am absolutely not bragging abou smoking. It's Unattractive, expensive and it smells terrible but I've smoked since I was 16 and it's not a big deal where I'm from. Please understand that the reason I mentioned it IS because I'm buying to much into the sorority stereo type it's all I have to go off of I don't know anything about it, that's why I came on this board and wanted help. My main point was I don't wanna change myself for other people, cigarettes and all I'm a great person and love the person I am. Once again due to the fact that the only thing I'm basing a sorOrity off of may be misleading, that's why I'm here. Please be respectful, I really would like some advice! If material things isn't what a sorority is about then tell me what is! I'm lost here and could really use some advice.

If people wouldn't give you a bid because you smoke, or because of your personality, it probably isn't a sorority you would like being in. Screw 'em.

That being said, dressing up more is something you're going to have to do as you get older, sorority or not. Don't be That Girl when you graduate from college who goes into corporate interviews in a belly shirt. Check out some of the style guides in the bookstore to get some ideas of how to dress more grown-up.

Smoking not being a "big deal" where you're from doesn't make it less likely to kill you.

Anyway, we can't answer these questions because it depends on too many different factors. Your best bet is just to bite the bullet and rush. Best case scenario you find a great chapter that you fit in - worst case you meet some girls during rush to hang out with.
