A recruitment story with a bittersweet ending.

[alexa6789]

Let me start off by saying that i come from a long line of greeks. My great-grandmother, 4 aunts, and my mother were KKGs. My grandfather was a FIJI, my grandmother a AXO, and my dad is SAE. It was always presumed that I would rush one going into college and I wanted to anyway. I was originally going to attend a large Southern school where the greek life is huge, but decided against it and chose the school where all my local friends would be, which was still 400 miles from home.

My school is medium sized, and the greek life is not very big. I should mention that the sororities that I would have been a legacy of, KKG and AXO are not at my school. There are 5 sororities at my school.. all are great nationally, but their reputations on campus all differ. Like other recruitment stories, I will be using code names for these houses.

Pink
Blue
Red
Green
Purple


Even before going to school I knew what house I wanted, Pink. They were known as the popular girls that all the frats wanted to hang out with. This is also the same sorority that all my friends wanted. I went into rush very confident. I had always been quite popular, and I was very accomplished academically and in my extra-curriculars.

Being over-confident and already making a judgement about what sorority I wanted even before rush was my first mistake.

Rush was held the second week of school.. the first night was house tours, then Philanthropy night, skit night, and pref night..dropping a house each night.

I'll update with more later.
