I am going to start a thread for a dear friend's daughter. She will be rushing in 2 weeks! She is attending a southern school with a competitive rush. There has been NO pre-rushing this summer, they are very strict with the silence rules. I am going to call the lovely girl Belle.
Belle is a beautiful girl (a knockout, according to my son!), she has a good hs GPA, and has many leadership positions and activities from hs. I can tell you that honestly, she is as beautiful on the inside as the outside and her sweetness and vivaciousness are apparent. So, you would think that she will have a good rush
. But, she and her mom are worried and nervous because of the competitiveness of the school. She is certainly not one of those over confident rushees! All that being said, she has a family member who is a recent alum of one of the chapters who is reportedly helping out at rush. She also knows a number of girls who are current members from her hs. So, those things may help her. (Fingers crossed)
She and her mom have been shopping like crazy and feel really good about their acquisitions. She has some really great sundresses, shoes and accessories. She also has a particularly beautiful piece of jewelry that she is planning on wearing throughout rush (not something outrageous); just something that will look really pretty with her outfits and may catch a rusher's eye and be remembered.
There are essentially 11 sororities that she will be rushing. I will come up with code names later..
That's all for now.
