little advice to pnms

As competitive as some sororities are amongst each other, there really is a Greek unity that exists at this school. Most girls have multiple friends in various sororities, and they cross "tier" boundaries. Many girls have friends in sororities at other schools and still keep in touch regularly. My point is this: everyone talks. What you tell someone at another school or whoever will probably find its way back to an active's ear. Be polite to every single person you meet. This shouldn't start and stop with Rush. You are no better than anyone. You are no worse. Please be confident in yourself, but not conceited. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see a girl walk in smiling, return my hello with genuine excitement, and actively engage in a conversation, as brief as it is. There is a house that you will fit in with. You many not feel it until the end of your freshman year, that is fairly common. But be positive about each house and every girl you meet, because they could end up being your sisters and you would have already started off on a bad foot with your house. Things get around and can be taken out of context. Some sororities have reputations and have some not so awesome incidents on their resume, but I'm sure that goes for you PNMs as well. But there are around 400 girls in each house. THERE IS A PLACE FOR YOU, I promise. Some girls get the house they wanted from the start, some don't. No matter the sorority, you're getting 300+ automatic friends. Be happy.
