Rush disappointment
by: b@m@
A couple of UA YouTubers have gotten some buzz for their videos about going through recruitment and getting their last choice. Both said they tried to make the best of it, but one ended up resigning after initiation and the other successfully rerushed.
Both basically said that they felt ignored, nobody was really proud of their letters, and everybody just went through the motions. Both also said their friends who got their first choices were having amazing experiences.
Do they have a point, or were they just looking for an excuse to quit while putting in the least amount of effort? Do their experiences reflect anyone else's?
To me it sends a low-key shady message that tiers correlate to sisterhood as well as popularity.

I actually had the exact (like, exact) same experience as one of these girls, except I didn’t drop. Watching the vid was like she had pulled all the thoughts out of my head.
Joining a bottom house can be extremely emotionally confusing because even if you’re happy to be there, the girls standing around you every day for a week have been openly talking about how they’re going to go in and try their hardest to get dropped. Before the pref party the girl standing next to me literally told me “if I get this house I’m going home.” Like how are you supposed to be excited to accept a bid after that? There’s definitely not the same excitement that’s going on at other houses on bid day, and yeah it sucked.
Did I eventually make great friends and hold positions, yes. But the negative impression from the first semester was hard to get past and I don’t blame either of them for dropping if they really felt like they didn’t belong.
All that said, I thought the chi o’s comments about the small house and bad swap themes were a total cop out. Other than that it was pretty spot on.

Yes, a chi o did make a video. girl goes through rush and literally gets her last choice. Drops out, re-rushes and gets a chi o bid. Shows how houses are forced to give bids to losers to meet sophomore quota. The girl is incredibly condescending about the house she got a bid to, g phi I think. She thinks she’s better than them, but in reality she’s worse because she now has a snotty, self-righteous attitude like those chi o’s.

Gphi can’t be that bad. They have the most coveted girl from last year’s recruitment.

Yeah. I'm surprised it was G Phi or maybe it was several years ago. G Phi is now one of the better sororities - don't get me wrong, not a top house, but better than a lot of them

The chi o first pledged gphi in 2014. It can be confusing because gphi has come a LONG way in 6 years but they were considered the bottom of the bottom then.

Omg thank you for this reply, so true. Unless you’ve been moo’d at like a cow all the way to the house by a bunch of fraternity guys, you can’t judge girls who aren’t over the moon about getting a bid to a bottom house.

Oh my god this is so spot on for my experience too. And it straight up SUCKS, especially when you constantly see how exciting and great bid day can be when you feel like you fit in perfect and can't wait to meet your new sisters. My memory of bid day is: opening up a bid to a house that everyone was saying all week was a "loser house" and saying they were ~sooo annoyed~ to be invited back each time. Trying not to cry that I didn't get my first choice that I loved because I didn't want to come off as rude or ungrateful at my new house. The worst part was feeling like you just went through this insanely emotional and stressful week and you don't even get the final prize most girls get of opening their bid and being so excited that they found the perfect house for them.
When girls say rude things all week about the house you got it's hard to be hype, even if you're willing to give it a chance. "Tent talk" is unfair to the actives putting in so much work to get PNMs to like them, and unfair to the girls who may have vibed with the house but now feel like they're a "loser" if they join.

All the top houses dropped DM. It's funny that GPhi thought they got a big prize.

I just watched the thetas video and idk I felt like she was pretty genuine. Idk her, but that sounds like a horrible situation to be in. Anyone know who she was dirty rushed by? Why wouldn’t they take her?

It’s sorority recruitment 101, her whole channel is about rush or bama rush. Idk when she graduated but I think she’s almost 30 now? I can’t really confirm but she’s in her late 20s now so it was a long time ago. A lot of her videos talks about how she got g phi and then dropped and rerushed Bc her dream house is chi o

Ok kinda off topic but, there is a youtuber from AOPi and she did a rush vlog and I found it so funny because halfway through the week she's like crying and calling her mom and saying "I'm going to drop out this process is not for me" and she's just so discouraged and upset, and then the next clip she's like "nvm I was just being dramatic I didn't drop out I had a good round I'm all good now" and I was like sissss yesss thats literally such an accurate depiction of the emotions during rush, I FEEL 😭😂
by: Same!!!
I saw that one too!! definitely had the same experience but I’m glad she ended up finding a house that fit her and made her happy!

Honestly a really good video bc so many rush vlogs girls are like “I got 12 back for philanthropy” which isn’t what happens to most people so a realistic rush video was nice to see

I felt the exact same way as her when I went through rush. All the you tubers posting about how perfect their rush was sets up expectations that are unrealistic for most girls. Being out of state definitely hurt me for a lot of houses, so it was refreshing to see a video that was more realistic for normal girls from out of state with no connections at bama

Chi O? I assumed one of the videos you're referencing is the video from the theta that cried on bid day and then dropped after being dirty rushed by zeta. Is there another video made by a former Chi O?
