rushing in a week

Honestly that’s good advice but there’s plenty we could say, this ain’t the best outlet for it but hopefully this will help someone. Actual invites back are hard to control truth be told, a lot is random but the most important thing is just having a positive experience and letting the chips fall so
-eat food, drink water, try to get decent sleep, workout, watch tv, do whatever you do. Rush is a few hours or many some days, but try not to let it consume your thoughts all week and mess with your mental health. You’ll be miserable if you try not to eat, and you won’t perform your best. Show up, do the thing, go home and repeat
- don’t be an ass, word gets around. Before zoom rush, people every year that we’re insecure and had crappy personalities screamed the loudest about which sororities they hated, how embarrassing someone else’s outfit was, etc. they usually get dropped everywhere. No one wants to be around that person, and no one wants to walk out of a party in love with a group and hear some little brat talking crap about it
- I know they tell y’all to open up or whatever,, but there’s a fine line between that and trauma dumping. Try to gauge it the best you can but if a girl I just mer unloads her whole life story on me I’d be super uncomfy
- think about what you want, don’t let being nervous stop you from taking in the vibe in a suite and considering your values and whether a sorority is a good fit. It’s our decision who to invite back, but it’s your decision too
- don’t worry about drops, they happen to everyone and I promise you so many are so random
- everyone says this, but go with your gut and keep an open mind. You don’t have to join the same sorority as your friends, and no one worth anything in this schools cares about “ranks” they only exist online and among tryhards in the freshmen dorms. Enough parties are open to keep you out every night of the week, and whatever people say every sorority has a social life. Everything works out in the end, and if it doesn’t the worst case scenario is you live in the funnest city in America at a school where you don’t need to be green to have a good time

Here’s the most important thing to remember… None of this really matters. Just have fun with it. Most of the rankings or what’s considered top are done by guys lol and we all know what frat guys rank. so just remember that and ignore these posts etc obviously we are capable of choosing and ranking what’s important to us without the guys help. Keep that in mind when looking at any of these posts. All the sororities have amazing, beautiful, smart, kind, intelligent women and your job is just find one that has girls in it that you can see yourself hanging out with. That’s all. And if doesn’t work out nbd there are a million other things to do in Miami

The replies here are great, I’ll add a few things that may be practical during actual rush to be aware of
- some rooms are just very loud, and it’s hard to hear. Be ready for that. It can be a little uncomfortable, but just do your best
- remember you are speaking with 2-4 people per sorority per round out of 200. If you don’t click with one, doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t be happy in that sorority. I love all my sisters, and I support them, but it’s not possible to be close friends with all 200 people and vibe with all of them
- see above . People act like bid day is this magical thing where you automatically get 200 besties and that’s setting you up for failure. You still have to show up, smile, be friendly, come to things and meet people once you’re in. What you get is 200 people that will have your back and are hoping to get to know you, but it’s not a bunch of automatic friendships.
- like someone said above, dont forget to eat and don’t let rush consume you! Obsessing over it every minute of the week won’t make bid day come any sooner, and it might make you more nervous and less conversational during rounds
- don’t fake it. There’s plenty of shy girls in all sororities, you don’t need to fake a different personality to get in, everyone rushing you is just people, and you’re just having a conversation
- ignore anything negative a boy says to you unless he really seems to have your interest at heart. Most guys want their girl friends to join what they consider “top” sororities so they can brag about having a friend in that sorority or beg you to mix with them. It’s weird. Every sorority girl can party with every frat and get in free to every club, they know that and they hate it
- be friendly with your rush group and other PNMs, some of them will become your sisters! Don’t be super laser focused on what happens in the suites and ignore everything outside of them

Agree with everyone above. Also, videos are stupid. They’re lots of fun but having round 1 pretty much based on videos is idiotic. Dont judge sororities too much by theirs and don’t worry about being judged for yours. People are going to get dropped for no reason. Some sororities spend thousands of dollars on their videos, some have sisters in the comm school film them, some are in the middle. I’m sorry for y’all that this is how it is
