A Re-Rush Story!

So last year I rushed and ended up deciding to drop out in the early rounds. I wasn't sure if Greek life was for me. But then this year I decided I would try it again. Anywho I will start by telling a little about what happened last year.

There are 16 sororities at my competitive university. I have named them after some of my favorite tv shows.

Dance Moms
House
Law & Order
How I Met Your Mother
Burn Notice
Sex and the City
Dexter
Scrubs
Real Housewives
Workaholics
Millionaire Matchmaker
Top Chef
Modern Family
Game of Thrones
Say Yes to the Dress
Glee


Day 1 & 2: We visited 8 houses on the first day and 8 on the second.

Say Yes To The Dress: This was the first house I went to and I was very nervous. But once I was paired with a girl, it went smoothly. This house is one of the lesser popular houses on campus, but the girls I talked to were very nice. I didn’t think I would ever be a Say Yes though.

Millionaire Matchmaker: A lot of the girls in my group were very excited to visit this house. The girl that rushed me was very pretty. When we sat to watch their video I spilled my cup of water all over my legs. That was kind of embarrassing but I laughed it off.

Top Chef: A girl from my high school who had a very bad reputation in high school was in this sorority so I kind of automatically didn’t like it very much. She came up and talked to me though and she was very nice. The girl that rushed me was nice but I thought it was weird because she started talking about going out and partying where the other houses I went to strictly talked about majors and clubs and involvement. But I still thought she was nice.

Workaholics: This house is by far the prettiest one in my opinion. But the sorority itself is not a very popular one on campus. Still I had a great experience at this house and I could see myself there. I really liked the girl that rushed me and I felt comfortable.

How I Met Your Mother: I knew a girl from my high school at this house who I really liked. She came up and talked to me while I was with my rusher and gave me a hug. I really liked the girls I met at this house and I really hoped I would be invited back.

Modern Family: This was the newest sorority on campus and the only one without a house. The girls I met were all very nice. I did not expect to like everyone as much as I did, and I wouldn’t mind coming back.

Burn Notice: This was my favorite house of the day. They aren’t really well known on campus but the girl that rushed me was beautiful and everyone was very nice. I really hoped to be invited back here.

Dexter: I was excited to go to this house, and when I got there my rusher had the same name as me. We laughed about that as we introduced ourselves at the same time. But after that we really didn’t have a connection and it ended up being really awkward. I was wishing to be bumped to another girl but it never happened. I still wouldn’t mind going back to this house though.

Sex and the City: I was nervous to go here because I heard that this house of girls were all very pretty. But I ended up having a good time there and talked to my rusher about Dexter and Glee (the TV shows, not the sororities J ) We laughed and I hoped I would be invited back to Sex and the City.

Real Housewives: I was even more nervous to go to this house. Everyone says this is the top house on campus. They also have a party girl reputation though and are known to be stunningly gorgeous. When I walked in at least half of the rumors were right, they were all stunningly gorgeous. I talked to my rusher about their philanthropy, which happens to be dear to my heart and basically what I am majoring in my classes. I liked this house a lot more than I thought I would!

Glee: This house is known to be the least popular house on campus, but I had a friend in this house who I really liked so I was excited to go anyway. The girls were all very nice. I remember though that a girl in my group leaned over to me and whispered “Do you think this is the fat girl house?” I said no and tried to listen to the video and speakers. The girl that whispered that actually ended up being a member of Glee in the end!

Dance Moms: This was the house I was the very most excited about. I dreamed of being a Dance Mom from the beginning. My roommate and a few friends were in Dance Moms and I was so excited to go in. I had a great experience at Dance Moms and was really hoping to go back.

Law & Order: I was excited to go to this house as well. My rusher was very nice and we ended up having a great conversation about their philanthropy and how I have actually volunteered there before not knowing it was their philanthropy. I loved Law & Order and they were in close rankings with Dance Moms.

House: I knew a few girls in this sorority and my boyfriend was one of their house boys freshman year. A lot of girls were really excited to go to this house and they have a great reputation, but for some reason I just never saw myself as a House. I enjoyed my time there though and wouldn’t mind going back.

Scrubs: This house was also one that was looked at as one of the most popular house, always neck and neck with Real Housewives. I was excited to go in, but my rusher and I just did not connect. She talked to me about very trivial things like the weather and how she was hungry and things like that. I tried to steer the conversation to more important topics, but it just didn’t work out and I had a feeling I would not be invited back.

Game of Thrones: I had a really good friend in this house and I was excited to see her. I was not thrilled with my experience here though, my rusher and I did not seem to connect and I found myself just ready to go.


At the end of the day I ranked my houses as follows:

1. Dance Moms
1. Law & Order
1. How I Met Your Mother
1. Burn Notice
1. Sex and the City
1. House
1. Scrubs
1. Dexter
1. Real Housewives
1. Workaholics
1. Top Chef
2. Modern Family
3. Say Yes To The Dress
4. Game of Thrones
5. Millionaire Matchmaker
6. Glee
