Manda903's recruitment story @ Tamu-cc

Manda903 · #1 08-21-2004, 07:32 PM

Okay okay ladies..I am SO excited! Rush actually doesn't start until September 10th, but I am so excited I decided to start my thread early and give a little back ground info!

I have been reading GC for over a year now, and I am so happy it's finally me!

I decided to wait a year to rush to get a feel for things, so its the beggining of sophomore year, and its about time!

My school's greek system is very small we have three sororities Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Delta Delta, and Gamma Phi Beta. And in no particular order I will be using colors to code each group. Pink, Orange, and Yellow.

First of all my closest friends here at school are all Pink and Orange girls who are all very sweet. I have heard some negative things about Yellow, but I do not know any of those girls, so I am not letting myself listen to any of that for now.

This past week I have met a lot more pink girls. They are all a lot of fun. I am nervous though because when school starts I won't be able to hang out with them until after rush, and that is going to be really hard. The rules about silence are a little vauge and especially to us rushees. Last night there was a little incident when I went to dinner with two pink girls, and a yellow girl saw us there. I hope I don't get anyone in trouble, but these are all girls who I have been friends with last year, and I can't help it all my friends are greek! It's going to be a lonley couple of weeks! ahah But its going to be worth it in the end!

Oh yes, I also want to say I am not at all thinking I want to be pink(or any other color) just because most of my friends are. I want everything as far as I am concerned when rush starts to be new and I am going to be open minded about every color. Another small factor playing into all of this is that from the start I had considered transfering schools after two years( I won't say where bc I don't want to give anything away), but I know lots of yellow girls there and I absolutley love them! I am actually trying to not let that influence my decision at all, but we will see when Rush starts how things go!

Any advice or comments are welcome!!!

..19 more days!

Wow! It sounds like this one might turn out interesting for you! I think it's great that you're going in with the attitude that you want to give all of the chapters a fair shake!

Best of success to you!!

Thanks everyone for all your support; y'all are great!
Just a little good news yesterday the yellow girl who I saw told me not to feel uncomfortable about yesterday, and that she totally understood and that it wasn't a big deal, so that's great news!

Okay, getting a lot more nervous! I went shopping for rush this weekend, and I got a lot of fun stuff!

Have a recruitment meeting Tuesday to meet my rho chi and go over the schedule and what to wear and all of that! But I have a class right in the middle of it, ugh! So, I guess I am going to go late?..I don't want to look like I don't care and I am late all the time, but then again I really can't miss this class so early in the semester, and there is NO WAY I am missing this meeting all together. I am way too excited!!

Oh, well..we'll see!

more to come soon : )

Manda,

Call the office of Greek Life on Tue in the morning and tell them you have class and will be late. Then, go to class as you planned and then go to the Orientation after class. This way, you will have covered yourself.

No matter what, school comes first, but is important to always communicate if you have a conflict with a meeting.

Hi Manda! Just wanted to give you a quick "good luck". I'm starting my rush the day after yours =)
