Rush Experience

[ROWDYsister]

Hi UFgirl! I read this thread back in June and it was so weird to read it because it was about your experience at recruitment and we were rushing at UF at the same time! (BTW, Group 2 rules! ) It was funny to read your accounts because it was like going back in time and "tent talking." Anyway, glad to see everything worked out! And I can't wait for us to have our first recruitment on the other side this year! See ya in G'ville in a month!

Panhellenically,

Hey ladies,
WOW. I can't believe this was me 12 years ago. How did that happen?

I was having fun reading recruitment stories and I thought on a whim to look for my own. Low and behold, 2001 story found. I couldn't help but bump it.

I was one of the women who got heavily cut after round one. When I went into rush (sorry, I'm an oldie) I literally knew no one at the school, and had zero recs. However, I was just so excited to be part of the whole thing that I didn't care if I got dropped by all but one chapter...I just wanted to be a part of it. I couldn't be happier with the result, and I'm still extremely close with several sisters. We're actually planning a little trip back to Gainesville next month.

Anyway, thanks for letting me be old and nostalgic for a minute.

Hahaha, remember the days when we posted rush stories with the real names of the chapters? This was a great one.

This is interesting to read...full disclosure...and I was surprised to read a sorority had closed...especially during these times now...and before DZ colonized and built their house....how times change!

I'm delighted by your story. Maybe we'll meet at Camp Alpha Nu or another event one day.

And what is the best thing for any PNM reading to take away from this thread?

I got invited back to Phi Mu, Alpha Chi Omega, Chi Omega, and Sigma Kappa. Round two starts today and continues on thursday (wednesday is the first day of school so there's no rush events) and then there will be more cuts. I'll post later on at night about how round two went! talk to you guys later!!

She had a quick moment of being sad about not getting a full schedule, but fundamentally, she wasn't sad about the invites she didn't get. She was happy about the invites she did get. Have your moment, dust yourself off, and move on.
