My LIVE Recruitment Story!!!!

[LittleCareBear]

Hey I've been lurking since I decided to rush and now I'm finally starting my own thread. I know some of you can investigate and find out which colleges have deferred recruitment, and if you feel the need to do this and guess mine please don't post it here! I'm going to be pretty honest about how I'm feeling through all of this, but I'll be careful not to post anything compromising! Rush isn't until after Christmas but I have a couple of things to post before.

I’m a freshman who has formal rush this January, no one in my family has ever even rushed before, much less pledged. And I’m not just talking my immediate family, I have no Greeks among my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents or anything. So I’m basically clueless! I’m really wanting to join a sorority because in high school I had huge group of friends, and I like having a bunch of people to hang out with and want really good friends that I consider to be my sisters! I’m a pretty shy person when I’m not around my friends, but once I get to know the people around me I become much more confident.

Initial Reactions After Open Houses
In September all of the sororities have an open house (and again in October) for house tours. This is not part of recruitment and is not required of PNMs. So I wrote my reactions to all of those and added what I had heard about the sororities. With rush not starting until January, it is hard not to hear things about each sorority, even though I tried. Still, I'm reserving all judgement because I know opinions can radically change during rush.

Britney Spears: One of the last houses I went to so I was already tired, but I got a good vibe from them and really liked the house itself. Was contacted on Facebook to set up a lunch visit. I heard the girls in this house were super-religious.

Michael Jackson: One of my favorites, had the best rooms and my tour guides were really nice. Was invited to lunch here as well. They don’t really seem that big into Homecoming because they didn’t really decorate too much, but they seemed involved in most things.

Tara Reid: I am in love with their philanthropy and all of the girls seemed really excited about being a Tara Reid. Received a hand written card from my tour guides and an invitation to lunch. I heard that this is seen as the “slutty” sorority.

K-Fed: The house is really pretty, but I don’t know if I’d fit in. The girls didn’t seem very fun and the conversation was awkward. Lots of silences. I’ve heard that these aren’t the type of girls who are fun to “hang at the mall with,” whatever that means.

Paris Hilton: My tour guides were super personable and sincere. The house wasn’t one of my favorites but I’m choosing house based on the sisters, not the house. I have heard that this is the “rich girl” sorority. This and Tara Reid are supposedly the most popular sororities.

Tom Cruise: Not too memorable, I know a couple of girls in Tom Cruise but I can’t remember anything specific about how I felt about it. Was contacted for a lunch invite but the only times PNMs can come are times I can’t make it. I love the Tom Cruises I know.

Lindsay Lohan: I remember really liking this house, but not why! Was invited through e-mail to visit for lunch. I heard that this is where girls go if they don’t get into Tom Cruise, Paris Hilton, or Britney Spears.

I'll post lunch visits later!!
