1) How many years ago did you rush?

b) within the last decade--8 years ago next month to be exact!

2) How many sororities did you have on campus?

3 NPCs (at the time) and 2 locals

3) Did you rush as a freshman?

Nope, I rushed as a sophomore

4) Did you have an idea where you wanted to go going in ... and did you end up there?

I knew only one of the sororities by name, so I was leaning that way
before I started rush. But, I *didn't* end up there! I was the most
impressed by one of the sororities I hadn't heard of throughout rush.

5) Was your class full to quota?

Yes, my class was quota plus. Biggest class that year.

6) Did you get your first, second or third choice?

First choice, baby!

7) What was your favorite party, and was it at the house you joined?
Preferences were my favorite parties, and I have to say that I liked both
my pref parties (Alpha Gam and Alpha Phi) equally! But I had a better time
at Alpha Gam *all throughout rush*, so that tipped the scales for me.

8) Was it frills/no frills?
Frilly by SFSU standards, but no frills judging by what I see at other
campuses!

14 NPC sororities

3) Did you rush as a freshman?
No, I went through recruitment as a Junior when I transferred.

4) Did you have an idea where you wanted to go going in ... and did you end up there?
I thought I was going to go somewhere else in the beginning (first round) but then decided on Alpha Gam from the 2nd round on. I have never looked back.

Yes, Quota plus 4.

6) Did you get your first, second or third choice?
1st choice!

7) What was your favorite party, and was it at the house you joined?
My favorite event was the skit, it showed the dynamics of the chapter. Pref sealed the deal!

1.) How many years ago...5 actually. So none of the above.

2.)How many sororities...6 at the time, AZD, AOTT, ASA, PhiMu, ZTA, and Tri-Sigma (since then ASA has left, Sigma Kappa and AXO have joined)

3.)Yes I rushed as a freshman second semester. (we have deferred rush)

4.) Going into I though I would be in one house....I ended up in it's next door neighbor (very long and heartbreaking story)

5.) yes, Qouta was 40 + 2 for a total of 42 (of course!) we were the only org to keep its entire pledge class.

6.) AZD was my third choice going into rush and it was my first choice after Round 3- Skit night

7.) Skit night was my favorite night all the way around. AZD's skit in black light was fabulous!

8.) totally and absolute FRILLS!

1) A- within the last four

2) 3

3) yep

4) going in, I had only heard of Chi-O, I had never heard of Tri-Sigma or AST, so i thought i wanted chi-o since i had heard of them. Nope, i didn't go Chi-o

5) Nope, we didn't make quota. There were 5 of us in my class/

6) 3rd choice, but i can't imagine myself at the other 2

7) This is a tie. I loved Chi Omega's skit night, they had stars with every PNMs name on it and the skit was cute and they served us cheescake with our names on it. I also loved Tri-Sigmas pref. night, it was so beautiful and I was in tears because of it. Of course I didn't go to either sorority.

8) Was it frills/no frills? I though it was Frills, but after hearing about other rushs its obviously very no frills.

4 - NPC

3) Did you rush as a freshman?

ME TOO!!!

So what was your formal sorority rush experience like?

1) How many years ago did you rush?
c) within 25 years (Fall of '88!)

2) How many sororities did you have on campus? three. DZ, AGD & ASA

3) Did you rush as a freshman? Yes..wet behind the ears!

4) Did you have an idea where you wanted to go going in ... and did you end up there? No idea. I had met women from DZ and AGD before recruitment and liked all of them...but I had an idea by 2nd night that I wanted to be a DZ, and that's where I ended up!

5) Was your class full to quota? Yes. 28 new pledges!

6) Did you get your first, second or third choice? First and only (suicided)

7) What was your favorite party, and was it at the house you joined? Pref night at DZ was the most impressive and moving party of them all (IMHO). But AGD did a fun "Grease" skit that was pretty entertaining--probably my second fave party...I think they still do the same skit all these years later!

8) Was it frills/no frills? I'd say frills-but not as frilly as some of the chapters I later visited as a consultant (FSU, Fall '92 comes to mind as the frilliest). Everyone dressed alike, elaborate skits and decorations every night, lots of songs and displays. Pretty all out.

Yes, but for very superficial reasons. I knew nothing about Greek Life and, after looking through the Rush manual the day before the parties started, decided to go ADPi because it had 3 Greek letters and the other sororities had only 2.

No, I didn't end up in ADPi.

Yes, DZ was the only sorority to make quota that year, and it was the largest pledge class my chapter had ever had -- 27 pledges!

Yes, my favorite party was at the house I joined. It was DZ's theme night where the sisters put on their skit.

All these rush threads are making me nostalgic! I'm thinking back to the "good old days" (OK, not THAT old, but still!).

So what was your formal sorority rush experience like?

1) How many years ago did you rush?
a) within the last four
Fall 1999

2) How many sororities did you have on campus?
12- DZ, DPhiE, Chi O, AEPhi, Tri Sigma, KD, SDT, Tri Delt, ADPi, KKG, TPA, and KAT. KAT has since left campus.

3) Did you rush as a freshman?
Nope, sophomore

4) Did you have an idea where you wanted to go going in ... and did you end up there?
Before any rush events, I had no clue. But after the first even (meet the greeks- very informal and preliminary), i KNEW that I would be a KD

5) Was your class full to quota?
I don't think so. We had 15.... not many houses on our campus actually get to quota. It's screwed up

6) Did you get your first, second or third choice?
First

7) What was your favorite party, and was it at the house you joined?
not really sure....

8) Was it frills/no frills?
Semi frills
