Miss's Fall Rush 2011

missnatural · #1 07-18-2011, 12:31 PM

Hey, y'all! I'm from a baby town in Texas, and I'm rushing at a real competitive school starting this August. I'm a first generation potential Greek in my family, and I'm really nervous, but I have a lot of faith in the system and I really believe I'm going to find a home. I hope to keep this updated as I go through, and I haven't quite decided on code names. Also, if I did anything wrong, please do tell me so I can fix it. You ladies have already been a huge help and inspiration for this naive girl, and I really appreciate y'all already. <3 Thanks muchly for looking!

Fixed it.

best of luck! Keep in mind that if you do a "live" recruitment story, you should be extremely vague in your descriptions, as you never know when an active could be reading this and pick you out. You can let us know how many parties you're going to if you wish each round so we can cheer you on, but save the real recruitment story (if there is one) until after you have a bid in hand. Lots of fingers and toes crossed for you!

Ohh, oops! :] Haha, thank you muchly! I'll probably just be in to drop a few mentions, then fill in the story later, then!

good luck to you!

I think writing it live both makes the story better and helps you work through your feelings about each chapter without the interference of the other PNMs. Or by writing it down you may realize you're not giving a chapter a fair shake. I'm a big fan of journaling! But wait to post what you've written until later. Besides, that way you can speed up your posts which will make us recruitment thread addicts much happier.

Oh, that makes a lot of sense. I'm thinking of bringing a little notepad and kind of jotting down keywords and first impressions as I go, then kind of fleshing it out later.

FSUZeta · #7 07-19-2011, 02:18 PM

just type and save on word and then post it all here.

All right! Thanks!

Best of luck, Miss!

I'm so excited for you! Definetly keep us updated on your rush experience! (:

SO true. You will end up where you belong, be postive and open-minded. As corny as it sounds!
