How would you handling seeing people who don't like you while rushing

Maybe my high school experience was different and therefore my perspective is totally jacked up, but someone would've had to do something extreme in high school for me to still be like "No, no, absolute no! Ugh I HATE her," as a junior in college. There are girls that I would be hesitant of if I saw their names on a list of PNMs, but I'd just let my sisters evaluate- if they were dumb and awful and annoying in high school, I'd think that either they'll have grown up and be fine or their awfulness will be apparent to the sisters rushing them.

Very true. Thank you for taking the time out to give me advice. I feel a bit more confident that if I am just myself I should be fine. People tell me I have a great personality and that I am friendly so hopefully I will find a sorority right for me and hopefully they will think I fit them nicely.

A couple of questions because I think we are not clear on your situation... having so little information makes it hard to properly address all of these questions.

1. are you planning to rush an NPC organization? or some other type of GLO?

2. why are you just now rushing as a junior? This is definitely a question that will be asked in some form at rush events. You need to have a good response... and understand that it may make it tougher for you to get a bid.

Yes i do plan on rushing an NPC organization.And i know exactly what i am going to tell them as my reasoning for joining as a junior and at first it was a concern of mine, but i have talked to someone in a sorority there and they said i will be fine because it is not a competitive school and they take a lot of juniors and seniors. My situation was just being scared that i won't get a bid due to having past issues with members if I happened to see any there.

they take a lot of juniors and seniors.

Someone is lying.

She doesn't seem like the lying type, but i guess i will see. At this point there is no point in worrying about something I can't change.

She gave you a recruitment answer. It's rare that an NPC/IFC member will say "lol no you can't join because you're old." You'll get something like:
"We look at all of our candidates fairly and equally. We have had members join in the past as Juniors, so you have just as much chance at getting a bid as a Freshman does."

Good luck.

That isn't how she said it though. I mean she really stressed the fact that i had nothing to worry about. This was while having a casual conversation. I guess you would have had to be there. Either way I guess I will see what happens. Thanks!
