First year rushers - Page 5

Im actually excited about this fall's rush period. During my first meeting with my sisters (when I was still a Rushee that is) I could tell they were actually real and I loved to hear about their stories and memories of past years. I cant belive I am going to be on the other side; the only think its hard for me to make the first move to strangers. Knowing that they are probably going to be more nervous then me and Remembering how great it was just to talk to the sister are going to be the two biggest things that are going to help me through

*Make time for YOURSELF during the recruitment period. Find a quiet corner and clear your head. Go back to your dorm/house/apartment etc. and take a nap. Take a walk. Go spend time with your family, if possible. Do something to relax yourself during this time.

Find time to eat! Hide snacks under couch cushions if you have to!

This goes along with no snap judgements. Just remember the rushees are nervous and things can be interpreted a lot of different ways.

We had one rusher mention that she didn't talk to her coworkers at her old job because "they weren't here kind of people."

we had half of the sisters worried that she was snobby or unwilling to work with a diverse population and the other half taking the side that we really didn't know what kind of people she worked with. They could have been drug dealers or something else that it is good not to get caught up in. So if a specific statement seems off to you ask the pnm to explain further so you dont end up possibly infering the wrong thing.

Thank you for bumping! Even through I went through two recruitments, I am now so nervous about being a sister recruiting!

This may seem really obvious, but apparently it isn't. Put yourself in the shoes of the PNM! Remember when you were a PNM, what were the type of things that attracted YOU to your sorority, put you at ease, etc.? Did you go for the girl who raved about how great her sorority was, or the one who genuinely seemed like she could be your friend? Remember as a rusher, you are the FACE of your sorority to the PNM. However you act will be how they remember the sorority. So while it is all fine and great to talk about your philanthropy projects, try and keep things that a PNM could read in a pamplet to a minimum. Girls are hoping to find a sisterhood, try and portray that you are someone a PNM could call a sister!
