last bit of rush advice

Let me be one of the first to welcome all freshmen girls who intend to participate in rush starting next weekend. Many of my sisters are already back in our house getting ready to meet you in next few weeks.

Rush may seem daunting but it's really more fun for you then it is for us already members. It takes up lots of our valuable time with practice and lengthy meetings to discuss the girls who want to join our sorority. Sorting through all the qualified girls is a difficult task and often we don't get to take all the girls we want to because of the archaic panhellenic quotas.

This will be one of my last chances to remind you not to settle for any old house just so you can join something. Nobody settled for SC and you shouldn't settle for a sorority. This is one of the most important decisions in your life and you shouldn't make a decision unless you are absolutely sure your choice is the right one for you.

The truth is that not every house is worth joining. Some should have been shut down years ago but our current rush system keeps these weak sororities on indefinite life support. I'm sure you'll figure out which houses are teetering on the edge and will not jump on board those sinking ships.

I'll leave you with this one last thought. You have one chance to get this right and it's never wrong to walk away from a bad deal.

Have a Great Rush!
