University of Arizona rush

[lovebug32]

I'll be rushing this fall at U of A.

How competitive is it? What are the reputations of various houses?

If anybody has rushed at U of A and has any info I'd really appreciate it!

Here are the links to 2 UofAz rush threads from fall 2003... one NPC group has left campus since then.

Recruitment seems to be, to someone who doesn't have a chapter on campus, to be fairly competative ... althought not nearly as competative as recruitments are in SEC schools.

Here's the link to the greek life web site ... it has lots of relevant information

drop me a PM if you have any specific questions and I'll try to answer

Thank you so much AZ-AlphaXi, that really helped a lot!

Is anybody else rushing at U of a this fall cause I'd totally love to do what UASoph02 and AZpinkkittie did.

Good luck on rush.

Just a word of advice, asking about the reputations of sororities is generally considered a major faux pas. Keep an open mind, and don't let what others say about a group influence your decision.

I didn't mean it so much in a stereotypical way. I just know that some sororities are religiously based so I was wondering about that and also study hours. I didn't mean it in a which one is popular or sleazy way at all.

I hope I didn't offend you and I'm sorry if I did.

Another question:
How should I dress for check-in and the informational meeting?

It's ok. Study hour info may be provided at the informational meeting, you could also ask, but it varies from chapter to chapter and even year to year. (We vote and change things a lot!)

As for religiously based, the best thing is to check out the websites of each sorority. Their national sites may be even easier to find information on. A quick google search will net you the most results.

yes, all the NPC sororities have houses at Arizona. My understanding is that usually sophomores and some juniors live in.

no .. most (all?) of the houses are full at the start of the fall semester and there's no room for the freshmen to move in after recruitment.
