A Re-Rush Story!

[Girl!]

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.
