I guess you can tell who the sorority chicks are on here.

I couldn't help myself

fair enough.

I have a friend who bashes every other organization on campus, like are worthless. Then brags about being in ADPi....I just find this very comical.

Blair--

there is no way your friend brags about being an ADPi

i figured the girls at ADPi were the ones with "really nice personalities"

who are you with glovedropper?

INTERNET FIGHT!

Find out where the after-rush parties are going to be and show up to those. My buddy and I did that once, and the girl to guy ratio was probably 5:1. All the girls were excited about getting picked for their sorority so they were all drunk and excited and dropping their panties.

She does brag about it! That is why I find it so funny. She made fun of the business fraternity that I was in and service fraternity the our other friend was in. Then talked about how good ADPi was.

i'm a guy.

my gf was huge into her sorority and was rush chair so i got to hear her ***** about everything about this time of year.

and i know the stereotypes of each sorority, like ADPi.

at least you got to hear something... the world revolves around the richest and blondest for my girl right now... who's some officer... not sure what though

sounds like you need a new girl

I was in a sorority and I consider myself fairly down to earth, intelligent, and non-superficial.

I chose a sorority that had a lot more to offer in terms of personality (not that they were ugly--just not clones) in that we had girls that ran the gamut from athletics to beauty to whatever.

Our house was one of the more "diverse" in that respect as it wasn't all bleach blond barbies.

A few words about rush: Like the sorority girl said, it is the best that you can do in 4 days, but the process is a mutual one in that the rushee eliminates houses at the same time the sororities do.

After the first day, you rank the houses. the houses choose to invite you back (or not). A computer spits out the result to narrow your choices for the next round and so on until you're down to one or two.

For the rush parties, you have a theme for each one. For example, for our first, it's such a big party that it's a meet and greet only with each rushee meeting at least 3 or 4 girls, with strategic rotations. Then the girls compare "notes" so that they know exactly who met each girl and every rushee gets fair time meeting her.

For the first elimination IN OUR SORORITY we would only cut people if they had bad grades.

The second party is smaller, of course, and we would cut people who had "questionable morals", ie, someone knew her from high school or something. Also if someone was a total train wreck or said something like, "I only want to go Zeta," sorry, we're not going to ask you back, hope Zeta likes you.

The next party is much smaller and we do some kind of activity with the girls. One year we did a service project and made stuffed animals for our philanthropy. This showed the girls that we do more than meets the eye, plus it allows for better conversation and people open up more.

Lastly, is preference party where we tell the girls the emotional importance of our sorority, etc. etc. It's normally very lovely and a time for them to decide if this is the sisterhood for them.



While you all think it's rent-a-friend, any decent sorority understands the importance of rush, and if you get the plastic feeling from them, that is not the house for you.

I hope that cleared things up a bit.

I was in this sorority at another school, but I have participated in the A&M's chapter as an alumna so I have seen both sides of the coin on this one.

eh, it's only for a week... it's just strange that girls get into this so much

BlairAG04 I think we have a mutual friend

Txglovedropper…yea well my friend is the Collegiate Panhellenic Council President, so there

END OF THREAD

by the way, when we discussed people, we seriously had to use very formulaic comments.

Questionable morals, bad grades, etc.

you couldn't just say she was Nice, and you had to be descriptive if you really had an issue with someone. You couldn't just not like her.

Plus, that was the key to rotation, so three or four girls could offer opinions on the same young lady and you're not just counting on one person for an opinion.

you're right. i'm trumped.

Blair didn't you have a friend whos pics got posted on the tailgate thread on the football board?!

Txglove...anything you can do I can do better

brew...ok, yeah I know who you are talking about. She was in the business frat with me way back when.

haha yup!! She is in Orlando right now...she got in trouble trying to text me during her training yesterday...haha.

OK, girls, FWIW, I was in both a sorority and a "little sister" organization for a frat at a different school and the latter was MUCH more fun and I made more genuine friends in it. I hated sorority rush on both sides - fraternity rush was more fun!

Why is she in Orlando? Not that I would complain if I got sent to Florida!

It is all clicking now too, you guys probably went to HS together too. I knew she was from that area as well.

i don't want to know what a girl does in frat rush

Rush is like one giant slave auction. Pretty pathetic.

She was actually the first person I met when I moved to Houston from Denver. We've been friends for about 20 years!!

KPMG sends them to training in Orlando...she'll be there until the 30th

ps Gambos fiance also grew up with KM and me.

The sorority girls at A&M were all the hot chicks at my high school and the non-sorority girls were usually the dorks who probably wear overalls with "whoop" painted on their ass.

once in a Town Hall meeting, we had a frat guy stand up and tell the group how this weekend, his frat was "doing a philanthropy". it was hilarious

Wow, that's awesome and a long damn time! I only knew a few people that went to you guys high school but they were all class of 2000. A couple of soccer girls and a guy who was a male cheerleader. It always freaked me out that you guys had male cheerleaders.

haha RANDOM!! Ok so I played varsity soccer in 2000 so I probably knew the girls...and my brother was a cheerleader. You either know my brother, Manual, or Kevin.
