rumblytumbly's rush

Hey Everybody,

I'm starting rush in less than a week and I'm so excited! None of my friends are going through rush and I don't have a greek family so I thought I could share my experiences with you guys. I'm not going to tell you which school I am at (I'm sure you could figure it out if you really wanted) cause I'm a little paranoid but I'll tell you after bid day.

I'd really love some support in this endeavor,
Rumblytumbly

I just realized this thread should be in the recruitment stories section. Can somebody move it for me or tell me how? Sorry about that.

Good Luck!

Can you tell us which chapters are on your campus? I understand if not - just trying to feed the frenzy.

Be true to yourself, if it's right, you'll know it. Do NOT be stressed out over cuts. sometimes one that cuts you, that you think you really like, you actually realize later it would be a disaster to be with those girls. Everything will be fine. Just remember our Greek system is great. I wouldn't have missed it for the world, if I had been DES or KLM. It doesn't matter.

Alright you guys, I'm off to set 1. I couldn't sleep at all last night. A couple of disatrous things happened to me but i can't really reveal them cause they're kind of incriminating (maybe it'll make me memorable lol). There were so many girls last night and they were all gorgeous! Well, here I go...

Oh my gosh the first day was so amazing! Everybody was really nice and made me feel so comfortable. I almost kinda hope I'll get cut a little bit because all the chapters seem great and it would be hard to decide.
(I talked to about 5 girls in each house)
Today I visited:
Pocahontas - When I first sat down at this chapter I felt like I was in an interview. The first question I was asked totally put me on the spot and I kept stuttering as I tried to find a good answer. It turned out that the girl just wanted to know a lot about me and not such general stuff. When they were singing their door song some of the girls looked bored (I'm sure they were just tired but it turned me off).
The Little Mermaid - This was the first chapter I went to so I was pretty nervous. There were a couple awkward spots but they didn't even last more than a second, in fact I didn't have any awkward pauses in any of the houses we went to. I'd like to go back to this house to see if it was just nerves or if it's that we don't click as well as I thought we would.
Snow White - We had good conversation and nothing seemed forced but I couldn't really see myself in this house.
Beauty and the Beast - I didn't really know much about this house prior to today. When I first saw the girls I thought we'd have absolutely nothing in common, but this is the house I think I liked the most. We really seemed to click. The girls knew a lot about their sisters.
Peter Pan - I was really looking forward to this house and was a little disappointed. The first girl I talked to really didn't seem interested in me at all. She just asked the usually questions and didn't make an effort to spin it to other conversation. I felt like I was doing the work. I really liked the last girl I talked to and wish I had more time with her as we had a lot in common. I'd like to go back to this house to see if the first conversation was just a fluke.

I am so ridiculously excited for tomorrow, yay!
