Rush started the same week that classes started. In no particular order, I will call the sororities by my favorite ice cream:
Rocky Road
Butter Pecan
French Vanilla.
The first night was an informational night. All of the rushees met at the student center. We met our rush counselors and rush group. They gave a presentation about what to wear and what the schedule would be. Then they walked us over to Marshall Hall to see the sororities' chapter rooms. Because the sororities are unhoused at Monmouth, each of them has a chapter room in Marshall Hall, which is a converted Victorian house on campus. All of the chapter rooms are very similar. They are decorated in the sororities' colors and have chairs and awards and composites and a desk for the president to sit at.
The president and vice-president of each sorority met us at the door and introduced themselves. They were all nice. The president of French Vanilla told us a funny story about being serenaded by ATO pledges during a chapter meeting.
It was all very mellow and fun.
Next up: informal parties
