competitive

The actual 2 week process for rushing is absolute hell. It wrecks your emotions in so many ways. I'm a pretty confident girl and I constantly found myself asking why these random sororities didn't ask me back. Did I do something wrong? Why didn't they like me? Sometimes I still wonder lol. It's so competitive, they will sometimes put you with other pnms and one girl in the sorority to all try and talk at once and if you don't get your two cents in, you won't be getting asked back. Or you could love a sorority and think they love you and then they don't ask you back but you have to visit another sorority in 15 minutes so you better not be in a bad mood or you will lose them too. No, not everyone gets a bid. Either they will all drop you at some point (that doesn't happen too often) or you will quit (might seem hard to believe now but almost half of the girls end up dropping out Bc it's just too much), or if you suicide bid (only rank one sorority in the final ranking) if they don't give you a bid you'll bet a phone call saying you didn't get a bid. Overall, know that this process will be physically and emotionally exhausting. It's not enjoyable, sorry. But if you want a sisterhood it's necessary. Remeber there's always spring rush (for some sororities) which is so much more laid back. In the end it is worth it but you really gotta remeber why you're doing it.

You also have the unique opportunity to join and rush dphie this fall. The process will be much less stressful for rushing and you will have a one of a kind experience as a founder. Something to consider if you don't think you can handle formal rush because it is hell as the other girl said
