I just want to say that I had heard all about the Sam Houston thing, & am now a Chi Omega pledge at the University of Cincinnati. You can't possibly believe that what one girl or group of girls did means that every other girl in her sorority nation wide will also do it. What about that Carolina football player whos on trial for murder? Are all Carolina players murderers? I think you see my point. Don't count them out until you see the house & the grils for yourself. Good Luck!

Rosanna - sorry you couldn't make it but let us know when you reschedule. We're pulling for you

HeidiHo-- I have read way too many things already on that, and i dont think you should bring it up on here when clearly no one has even mentioned it again. You are just bringing up an old topic that doesnt need to be re-lit. I commend you posting how strongly you feel about Chi Omega, but in that topic, i did not cut down chi omega at all whatsoever, let alone all of them across the nation. It just stated that what happened at Sam Houston was harsh and if that is what it took for girls to be in that sorority there than its not worth it. It never said anything about nationwide, or how bad chi omega is. Please dont start something up again. There are already a couple of posts somewhere else if you choose to continue talking about it.

Q-T Pie and AXO alum -- Hey girls!! I havent heard from ya'll in a while. I definitely will reschedule and let you know when it is. What do you think about this... I have heard things about a certain sorority, and i know i shouldnt base my mind on what other people say, but since its informal rush what im going to go through, i wont be able to attend every sorority's functions. About this certain sorority, i've heard things like they arent very active on campus and basically known as your "party" sorority. Thats only what i have heard. Well there is a member of this sorority in one of my classes. I used to see her in class all the time until recently she stopped going. Well i guess she stopped coming around a month ago. Every like 4th or 5th clases she shows up. Then yesterday she went to class and after 15 minutes had passed, she got up and left. I dont know if she just doesnt want to go to class, or she actually has things to do. The way I see it is that if you are going to school, you shouldnt have anything more important to do. Well except the obvious like family emergency or whatever. I dont know if I should decide to not rush them or just cut out all these things I have heard about the sorority and the memeber who never comes to class out of my mind. The only good thing about not rushing them would be i only have 5 sororities to choose from instead of 6. BUT... i dont "really" know what they are like. I need help, AHHH!!!

bucutie02-Hello?! On 10/15/00 YOU brought it up! I quoted you from the previous page. I think that I made a point that was important. If you don't want to hear about it maybe you should take you own advice & not bring the whole thing up.

This doesnt necessarily have to deal with direct "informal rush", but it is a question i have pertaining a sorority. Knowing some more information on it might make me not want to rush it anymore. As you all know, i am interested in spring rush, but dont have a clue which sorority house i would like to be. In another post i read somethings where this girl posted the secrets to Chi Omega. She is not in that sorority anymore and that was her reason for posting it, she also wrote typed the secret handshake on there. I was reading it, and some of those things seem so harsh.

Sound familiar?
The 2nd sentence seems key to me...

okay, well i ADMITTED that i brought it up, AND i also said that no one else, except Q-T pie replied to that... anyway... that post was a while ago and not something that we have continued talking about. I was simply stating that you shouldnt bring it up again because it might cause i big mess again like i have seen on other posts. Its a shame you cant reply calmly without getting an attitude. There is no need to get so worked up about it... i never meant it with intentions of being rude. You on the other hand did, and its obvious by the way you typed and with the mad face in your reply. You just need to calm down and not think that people are getting mad at you when you in fact dont know at all. I dont want you upset, i never meant for that. If i came off that way then im sorry. I hope we can be friends

To All
Since I'm am & was in a similar situation that Rosanna is in, I hope I can speak for us both. When going through formal rush, we want to know as much about each sorority as possible. It is imperitive that we are informaed in order for us to make an educated & whole hearted choice in something that is not extremely structure (informal rush). I think Rosanna had heard something & was just trying to find out all she could. It was an innocent question, that I myself would have asked. Yes, I support XO, but now that the subject is dying out, lets try not to restart the fire.

Rosanna
I haven't seen you online girlie. How are things going in H-town??

Hey Allison!
Things here are going well, have you read my comment about how i might not be interested to rush a certain sorority because of what i have heard and what i have seen? What do you think about it? This actually goes to everyone that wants to give me advice, all is welcome. Oh and Allison, thanks for supporting me on that unfriendly situation- and yes that pretty much sums up what i believe too. Yeah i havent been online lately, i have been real busy with school. I got a B on my accounting exam, yay!! I know its not an A, but its still good! Well let me stay on the topic on "informal rush" and not drift into other things.. So anyway, i am unsure about that certain sorority and what to do. Let me know what you think!!

[bucutie02]

Hey everyone, i guess no one has posted many things on here lately. I wanted to ask yet another question... do you think that joining a sorority has changed you, and if so do you think it was for the better or for worse and why? I just wanted to know different people's response to that. I havent met any girls yet, ive been slightly busy but I got an email from this aplha chi that has been giving me some information on rush and she said that one of her sisters told her i was in one of her classes. Then she said " i am so glad you are meeting some alpha chi's already! and i cant wait to meet you myself!" although this was very sweet of her... i havent met any sororities girls. There are 3 AXO's in my class, but they sit on the other side, and how do they know what i look like?? Maybe its a misunderstanding, but i was about to go through formal rush this fall and i even sent in my application which needed a picture to it, so maybe thats why... but i dont know. I guess it was pretty funny to me! Well let me know what you guys think about my question, thanks!!!

[Dewgirl]

It sounds like a good thing to me if the AXOs in your class noticed and remembered you, especially since they seem to have implied that they were excited you were thinking about rushing! Good luck! (I just started reading this thread, but now it's my little soap opera too!)

[bucutie02]

I know not all schools are the same, but with informal rush, is it possible to get more than one bid? This is why i think it is possible, i've been talking to girls about informal rush and this one girl told me she received her bid on the phone. informal rush is very laid back and you basically just go out with a sorority to hang out and get to know them better. It is not guaranteed you will be able to meet all sororities, so its best if you narrow some down before informal begins. But, lets say you narrow them down to maybe 2 or 3, and you attend events with them... is it possible one calls you and tells you they are offering you a bid and then the next day another calls and tells you the same thing? just a question that occured to me because i did ask a sorority member if they had preference/bid day and she said no, and thats when she said she got her bid over the phone... just showing me how laid back it is. So-- can getting two bids be possible??

At my school, getting more than one bid during informal is definitely possible! Informal, as you know, is not as structured as Formal Rush. There is no "deadline" of when the sororities have to give out their bids-it's all up to the individual chapters. I think most houses decide if they want to extend a bid after they've met the potential rushee 2 or 3 times. Good luck and keep us posted!

You can get more than one bid at my school during informal rush. However, at my school you generally have 24 hours to accept or decline your bid. You may want to think about that in case that is how it works at your school, too. You should probably kind of have in mind who you want to join because you may have to make a quick decision without a chance to see another group. Good Luck with your rush.
