Let's all remain positive during Recruitment! It can be a rough process and very time consuming job! But, as the old saying goes, someone has got to do it! Keep your patience with others even though everyone is tired and sleepy and cranky! You're brothers and sisters! Enjoy it!

If they're going to be in the Madison area during the summer and they want Kappa recs, PM me so I we can arrange to meet.

ETA: Carnation, I didn't see that BlazerCheer was rushing again. That's so exciting! Good luck to her, and keep us posted!

Let me just say this - as much as I love the Rush forum, I really hope I'm posting in a lettered forum come fall...

I'm still waiting on recruitment info from school. I bought a really cute outfit yesterday... Hope I get to wear it during recruitment! It's a little too dressy for the first couple of nights.

I just about have all my recs in! Whoo hoo! How much I love the wonderful alum women of GC, as well as my friend's mom...

I can't believe this- I've been reading everyone's rush threads and I am soooooooo excited about rush!!! I did COB for my local sorority, and then we went national...but I've never done formal or anything. I wish we didn't have defered formal!! I want formal rush now!!!! Guess I'll have to live off of everyone else's theads until my formal comes along.

But serisouly, there is one girl that I really want to come out for us in the fall, I should give her this website- cause then I know she'll want to rush!!!!!

I LOVE RUSH THREAD!!!!!!

Still am undecided about rush. I was so excited when I thought my school juniors were 'free' but when I reread a PM I realized juniors are not and this being a third rush, REALLY cuts down my chances. Ugh, why do things you want SOOOOOO badly seem soooooooo hard to get?!?!?!

If they weren't hard to get, we'd all be rich with perfect families, go to the perfect college with our 4.0's, automatically be bidded into the sorority of our dreams, and waiting outside for us move into our dorms would be the absolutely perfect guy that will be the husband that we are sure we'll find in college.

Go ahead and rush - how many threads are there about people who rushed, did COB, and then rushed again, only to find they're home? Girl, we are all rooting for you, and there are so many juniors here! By rushing again, you are obviously showing your dedication and sincere interest. The unknown (whether or not the third time will be your charm) may be excrutiating, but imagine what it would feel like if you constantly wondered, "What would have happened if I had rushed again?" That kinda seems to be the running theme for us juniors here lately... Good luck, and I know that you will make the best decision for you.

Ohhh sweetie- I rushed more than once, so I know how you feel. I was really sad after I rushed w/ a not so good ending, but I tried again and ended up in my favorite house. I'm not saying this happens for everyone, but it's always worth a try... it can all work out

Good post MTSUGURL!

i agree. mtsugurl is still a PNM and is already posting like a pro =)

It's so exciting to hear about everyone already getting pumped for recruitment! It'll be finals week here next week for me and already people have recruitment in August! I'm sooo jealous! We have to wait until Oct. 2 and then I'm not participating because I have to disaffiliate because I'm an RA in the dorms next year.

Good luck to all the pnm's! Just keep an open mind and follow your heart!

erin34 · #12 06-08-2003, 02:23 PM

I am rushing at Kansas State University! put me on the list. :-)

trisigmaAtl · #13 06-08-2003, 08:33 PM

Just for the record (and for encouragement):

I rushed 3 times before I got home!

freshman year: dropped out because I was afraid to commit

Sophomore year fall: I LONGED to be a Sigma and was CUT!! so I dropped out (with only 3 houses to choose from, it's not uncommon)

sophomore year spring: was coaxed by sigmas I knew to come out for spring recruitmen (COB) and GOT MY BID!!!

It took a little pride swallowing and some courage, but it was WORTH it to stare at that card with my name on it and to have this pin over my heart. GO, do it. There's no way you'll get a bid if you don't rush

texas*princess · #14 06-09-2003, 10:24 AM

Yay erin!!! Best of luck with recruitment! Also, welcome to GC (GreekChat)! You will have tons and tons of support here for you while you begin your recruitment journey!
