ClassicBeauty's Rush
Hey guys! Well, I figured I should go ahead and make my own thread for rush. I'm rushing at some school as a freshman here in a few weeks with a competitive rush. Now you'll get to see what's going through a PNM's head in the weeks leading up to rush.
Right now, I'm worried about getting all my recs. I sent all the packets needed to the local alumunae association in town. I'm just super worried that they won't be able to obtain the recs I need or that the chapters on campus won't take those recs seriously because I may not personally know the person. I only have recs for 3-4 sororities on campus that are personal. I'm trying to get my mom to ask her friends, but she keeps putting it off and I only have a few weeks left.

Yay, a current day rush thread! 
As far as recs go, you need to tell them that the deadline is coming up quickly. You need to stay persistent. Good luck!

Thank you, FSUZeta! I hate getting calls from friends/parents of students asking me if I can write a rec for Suzie PNM. Why can't Suzie call me herself?
ClassicBeauty, I'm excited about our first current thread of the rush season!

About 15 years ago or so our Alumnae Panhellenic used to hold a recruitment open house in the early summer for graduating high school seniors and their mothers. Panhellenic instructed the rushees that recs should always be secured through their mothers - that it was inappropriate to get them yourself! Maybe that was just a local custom or a sign of the times that has gone by the wayside.

Updates on my life!
Sorry that I've been MIA since rush. School and DG has been so hectic!
DG is amazing! I love everyone in my pledge class and all of the older girls are sooooo supportive and caring. We got our bigs about 3 or so weeks ago. I absolutely love my big and my whole family! They are amazing girls who are great role models. We have our NM test on Monday and I'm very nervous about it. I want to be apart of this amazing organization so bad. All of my best college friends are in this organization, and I can't see myself anywhere else. Initiation is in two weeks.
To PNM's
Get personal recs for all the sororities on your campus. One house cut heavily due to recs. I had a rec to DG, and I think that it truly helped because so many girls who were rushing me knew a lot about me. Actually, all of my friends had very good recs for DG too, so make sure you get recs!
DO NOT pay attention to stereotypes. Unfortunately, I heard about all of the negative stereotypes. Hearing one thing before, and then experiencing another during rush really confuses you. Go with your gut feeling.

I just reread my "story" and I realized that I have not done any justice to sharing my rush experience! I left out all the juicy details! So, this week, I'll fill in all the blanks for y'all! And trust me, it's good.
