My recruitment thread

MTSUGURL · #1 07-13-2003, 11:39 AM

Ok, so I know it's a little early, but I'm excited and everyone loves rush threads, so here goes. Besides, it's about time I had a rush thread, don't you think?

We have:
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Omicron Pi
Alpha Chi Omega
Zeta Tau Alpha
Delta Zeta
Kappa Delta
Chi Omega

Recruitment dates:
Information Meeting - August 15
Round 1 - August 16
Round 2 - August 17
Round 3 - August 18
Preference - August 19
Bid Day - August 20

I'm a little nervous, but mostly I am so excited. I'm a junior and a nontraditional student, so I'm being realistic as well as hopeful, but I can't wait to meet everyone in my Rho Sigma group as well as the different chapters! Everyone cross your fingers for me, and just say a little prayer that I don't trip on my heels or anything... I've met some wonderful women so far, and they've done nothing but put me at ease and encourage me.
I'm still picking out clothes, and even conned my mother into a shopping trip in a couple of weeks.

I just cut my hair fairly short - it's all one length, and a couple of inches below my ears. Any ideas on cute, easy styles for rush?
One of the dresses I plan on wearing is a powder blue sleeveless shift with a scalloped hem and eyelet detail at the hem, and I need to find some cute shoes and a cardigan to go with it. Ideas on colors would be VERY MUCH appreciated.
That's all for the moment. Can't wait to get started!

Try a side part and keeping your locks wavy a la Reese Witherspoon at last year's Grammies. Here's a link to a picture of it:Reese at Grammys I'd also suggest pulling a part of your hair to the side with a glittery clip. The kind of clip you put in your hair depends on your dress. Anyway, hope that helps! Good luck!

Ok, I have 2 days until Orientation, I'm moving this afternoon, and I am quite nervous as well as very excited. I can't wait for this to get started!

Good luck!

With that blue dress, I'd suggest white accessories. Maybe a shawl instead of a cardigan - it's a little more unusual, and easier to slip on and off if you have to walk outside, but it might make you look old-lady-ish depending on the style.

And, as many of us have said over and over again... comfortable shoes

i'd like to say ditto to all of the wishes of good luck to you

...it sounds like you're already very prepared for a lot of stuff, including cute rush clothes...i like the idea of a shawl over the dress, maybe a light one with some interesting designs so you don't look like a grandmother...i know some rho chis who say that, even if you don't have a lot of new or trendy outfits, it can sometimes help to have interesting jewelry that can be conversation pieces, like a necklace from a favorite aunt or a hairclip that you bought on vacation...sisters can often see a photo of a PNM and say 'Oh, yeah, she had that beautiful shawl' or 'She's the one with the chunky necklace' or something like that
