<p>I just have to say--rush is so weird. I just got my first round of invites and I only got cut from one--one of the ones I wanted--but I got asked back to the skinny blondes who are all georgeous and stuck up ones, which realllly surprises me as I totally didn't expect to. I was laughing in the elevator on the way up to my room, I just find it so funny. haha, sorry I just needed to vent this akward weird feeling I have.</p>
<p>Yeah, that's one of the things that is strange about sorority recruitment. I never understood how you could find the house of a lifetime after spending only about 3.5 hours total there. </p>
<p>In the end though, it will all work out and you'll find the place you were meant to be - even it isn't where you thought you'd end up.</p>
<p>Anyways, best of luck!</p>
<p>stanford doesn't let rush happen until spring quarter. i think that's smarter since you have two quarters to find out about the sorority/frat and actually meet some of the members in classes and stuff.</p>
<p>also, less pressure for freshman for their first quarter in college.</p>
<p>Yeah rush at BU doesn't start until later either. Gives you more time to settle in and get used to college life</p>
<p>BC doesn't even have a greek life! perfect!</p>
<p>Yeah, Bucknell (where I am) doesn't let you rush until sophomore year, which is what I am. I know what all of them are, which is part of why I find it SO amusing that pi phi invited me back. Oh well? I just finished round 2 and I get my next round of invitations tomorrow.</p>
<p>Ya, to hell with rushing. I've gotten invited, but I'm not into the whole frat thing. You know what you do? You go to the frats every friday/saturday, drink their liquor, party at their expense, then go home. Repeat the cycle and beleive me, you'll be glad you didnt join!</p>
<p>^true. i'm friends with a ton of frat guys and soririty girls and just chill with them in their houses and drink their alcohol at parties. it's too much random crap to do past that.</p>
<p>to vouch for the other side, joining a fraternity was the single best decision I made in college. There's a lot more to it than just parties. I honestly, 100% believe that I would not be in medical school had I failed to join my house. That's how much my chapter impacted me. Were it not for the support and guidance and motivation my brothers gave me, I would have changed my major, given up the dream and be doing something completely different.</p>
<p>If by advice you mean "Down that shiit!" then yes, great advice :)</p>
<p>Seriously, though, my sorority doesn't at all seem like the partying type. They're all very studious. But it does seem like there's always a party going on at the frat houses.</p>
<p>Bigred, what frat are you in?</p>
<p>"Fraternities are a bunch of guys who love each other who work together to hook up with hot easy sorority girls. Sororities are a bunch of girls who hate each other who stab each other in the back over hooking up with fraternity guys."</p>

<p>^^ brilliant</p>
<p>i take it that neverborn has never been involved with greek life...</p>
<p>Equine...don't worry about being cut. Remember, that in this situation, you are the consumer. You ultimately decide if you take a bid or not. The sororities arent gonna try to screw you over, they just want to find the people who they feel the get along with the best. </p>
<p>My chapter is very ecclectic and when I went through rush I didnt know what I wanted until after the last round when we had to write down our top two choices. And even then I wasnt sure. But it all worked out great!</p>
<p>That quote is from a comedian, Aaron Karo, who was in a fraternity all four years of college.</p>
<p>I will never be involved with Greek crap.</p>
