Hi all, As a memeber of the Panhellenic community here at UF I would just like to say that it is a very hard and stressful process. I went through rush twice, dropping my first year after and trying again before I found a place where I belong. When I first went through rush I was shell shocked. All of my online research and getting reccomendations and asking other sorority women that I knew for advice didn’t prepare me for the whirlwind I encountered of smiles and conversations. I even spilled my water at one of the houses and was mortified. It took until my second try to find that the best way to rush was to try and highlight myself and my values to each of the women I spoke with, but that doesn’t always come through of you just don’t have a great connection with the girl who rushes you, even if you feel it’s the house for you. I’m not a Barbie doll, in fact I’m pretty chubby, but I found a house that values who I am, that matches my own, and that can help me excel in my endeavors. If your daughters don’t end up in their first choice my advice is to tell them to stick it through, that’s the house that saw what an amazing girl she is. If your daughters don’t end up in a house at all, my advice is to encourage them to seek out other options or to rush again next fall. Hope this helps some of you feel a little better!
