Pre-Rush words of encouragement!

PNMs,
One week from right now you will be going through rush. It will probably be slightly overwhelming, you might be nervous, and that is okay. This is a new environment, and no matter how many family members and friends have told you about their experiences, every rush (especially this year) is different and your experience will be unique.
Please remember to take care of yourself. Sleep, eat, talk to your family, and check in with yourself. Every night, write down how you feel to get it out. Next week will be draining and you might need an outlet.
Don't be too hard on yourself. If you get cut, all that means is you weren't meant to be a part of that house. You will find a home, you will find a place where you belong. Even if greek life ends up not being your thing, UT is an amazing school with so many organizations and opportunities.
Follow your heart, not the ranks. Go where you feel you belong and remember that everyone you will talk to is probably just as nervous as you.
You are beautiful, smart, and capable no matter what. Don't let this make you question your worth.
I am sending good vibes to everyone who is reading this! You will end up where you are meant to!
