The thing is, I hope we hear how rush turned out for the nervy PNMs.

Twitter searched "sorority recruitment"...

"formal sorority recruitment should be done Harry Potter sorting hat style. lots less crying."

Recruitment isn't just about showing off how AWESOME your sorority is, it's about realizing how awesome you all are TOGETHER.

On Facebook, type your keyword in the search box, then choose "see more results for ..." at the bottom of the drop down. Then click "Public Posts" on the left hand side and it'll show any public Facebook posts with those keywords.

You can also use Google to search Twitter. Just plunk in site:twitter.com and the keyword.

Oh. My. Goodness. Thanks Jen! But you've created a monster.

From twitter:

I like Shark Week 'cause watching big fish tear into smaller fish really gives me insight into what sorority recruitment is like.


Ready to know what sorority I'm in just so I can decorate my dorm with all my sorority stuff, sorry roommates ... (admittedly, half the reason I cracked up at this one might have been because I was her in January...)

"I signed up for sorority recruitment, not fat camp. I hate running." #wellsaid #thingsioverhearduringrush

That awkward moment when you go to look at the things in your sorority print &become paranoid there's a PNM around you...

Oh my gosh this is great “@AuburnJokes: I'm writing a novel about the Auburn Sorority System. 50 Shades of Bitch”

Dakota Fanning is staying at NYU, though there were rumors that she was transferring to the University of South Carolina. I don't think those are true.

Miranda Cosgrove will be attending the University of Southern California this fall, but I don't know if she's going through recruitment. I believe that in the past she has indicated reluctance to join a sorority, but that may have changed—I know it did for me, especially after orientation!

Couldn't pass this one up!
The air is ripe with the stench of estrogen, tampons, and broken dreams. It must be sorority rush week again...

One of the best I've seen on twitter re: UGA Recruitment:

" I feel like I'm in a well dressed version of the Hunger Games."

I don't understand this from the University of Louisville

"Apparently its only fair if I rush in the Spring to let the new incoming recruiters join for their first year. So no sorority for me yet"


Some of the tweets from guys are pretty funny.

"sorority rush sounds about as fun as being in front at Normandy"

"If you don't rush my sorority then you're a slut! #lovemysisters #rushweek" (must be some sorority's sweetheart?)

"Sorority rush week: Empty bars, dumb Facebook statuses, bitching about how meticulous their rush is. #GimmieThatNapkin #$75Fine #DirtyRush"

"Rush week when girls become women"

That makes zero sense. Unless things have really changed at Louisville in the past couple of years, you can get a bid as a sophomore.

Living in the Louisville area, I would say this is correct of the most part. Out of seven chapters, I would say three of them are a little more selective with sophomores as in looking for leadership, GPA, etc.

Her profile is such a hot mess. Here are some of the responses to that tweet and her continued tweets:

friend "thank god I'm not going to lose you to that mess! "
tweeter "haha oh girl i just got overwhelmed with all this time and money id be saving! So Im completely fine with it. More OC time!"
friend "helllll yes! sororities are toooo expensive or i would do it!"
tweeter "Definitely, but now im stuck with all of these dresses lol. efffff. I getting more and more pissed the more I think about it"


different friend
friend "%^&* that noise" (?)
friend "did they all tell you that"
tweeter "yea, they explained how since it shouldn't be hard for me to get involved that I should just informally rush in the Spring"
repeat of the friend's first tweet
