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

A word of advice, you really need to stop the frequent posting and do some more reading on the SORORITY recruitment threads. Newbies with who start posting a ton often get called trolls. Read more, then ask more later.

That is true, but she has brought it up to me without me mentioning it so i don't think that was the case. It really depends on whether or not the school is competitive i hear. Like i said i will see soon enough.

i've posted 3. I wouldn't call that a ton and i just have a lot of questions. This can be a bit overwhelming. And okay i will use more of the search engine then. Thank you!

Stop arguing with people here about recs and upperclassmen getting bids. You asked for advice. The people who have offered it are much wiser and more experienced in this area than you. So if you don't want to hear what they have to say, don't ask.
The advice you've gotten is basically be polite and smile, don't get too cocky, and get recs. Take it or leave it.

If you're going to be a junior in college and you haven't made your mark enough/feel comfortable enough there to kind of laugh about the jackasses from high school, I hate to say it, but rush probably isn't going to go well for you.

A girl from my HS who was a couple years younger than me rushed and pledged (another sorority, not mine) and one day was shit-talking me for being geeky in HS to a mutual friend in a fraternity. He read her the riot act. Considering his nickname was "Snake" and he could be damn scary when he wanted to be, she learned her lesson.

Have you had any interaction with the girls from your high school at all in the past two years? If it's a small school, I kind of don't get how you haven't run into them to know whether or not they're Greek...and if it's a big school, it's not going to be "noncompetitive" and they're not going to "take lots of juniors and seniors."
