rush

by: Southern PNM

I'm rushing in the fall, and I am a double legacy to two sororities, but not specifically at the chapters here. I am a little in the dark about the way Greek life differs here than from the systems in the SEC, which is where I'm from & what I have been around. I have the grades, pretty but I wouldn't say amazingly so (not going to lie), can hold a conversation and have fun, I'd say I'm generally good all around, better in some areas more than others. I don't know anyone tho, and that worries me. Any advice, tips, or similar experiences? Thanks y'all

Rush is not like the south at all here. You will be fine don't worry... relax it's chill wayyyy more chill than how youre imagining. Trust meee :) You will be okay just relax and get excited!! It's a very fun and exciting week. As long as you keep an open mind be yourself, and put effort into your appearance. It's gonna be a lot if small talk and you won't be giving a whole biography about your life and all of the things you excel in. Just when you do talk about yourself try to make it memorable like if you talk about what you did over summer mention a place you went on vacation to and tell a funny story... you get the idea!

It's not nearly as rough as it is in the south, but unless youre practically perfect, you may not get into any of the three top houses, because they tend to take girls they know. But you will still find a good house, just relax and go into it with an open mind.

Just like how top houses in the SEC take mostly in-state girls, the top houses at UA tend to take mostly girls from Arizona and the West Coast.

Do NOT feel obligated to join the house(s) you are a legacy to. Some girls in my house, who are legacies, should not have joined our house just because they do not mix with the overall personality of the house. I feel as though their greek experience would have been better if they joined a house they felt more comfortable in. The legacies don't have many friends other than other legacies in the same boat. And don't get me wrong they are such sweet girls and great sisters I just believe they would have been more happy elsewhere. Most chapters have policies of accepting every legacy.

I cometely 100% agree with you! Same boat in my house.
Exactly why you should just join the house you see yourself being friends with the girls in. Do not join just because you are a legacy.... you may have nothing in common with the girls in the specific chapter here you are a legacy to and you will never get as good of a sisterhood for you as there could have been if you joined the right house for you. Same with girls who aren't legacies.... join the house for YOU don't do it for anyone else or for status.

Being a legacy wont help you in the top 3 houses. rush is not as crazy formal here as the south but it is def cut-throat and the top sororoties take girls they know from scottsdale and cali. do you have letters of rec?

If you are from the south then you should already know to have letters of recommendation especially for the good houses. Your legacy status will not mean much at Arizona though. Advice to you is dress very cute and be fun and interesting to talk with.
