An Indiana University Rush Story 2008-09

Hello fellow GC-ers! I've been on GC for several months now...basically learning and absorbing as much knowledge about greek life and the recruitment process. Thank you all for the helpful threads and comments...I have learned so much already (but have plenty left to learn.)

So, last night was the greek oppurtunities for women informational meeting at IU...basically kicking off the recruitment period! The president and vice president of PHC talked about the many greek oppurtunities and we also got a chance to talk with active members from each of the 19 sororities. There was a HUGE turnout which was definitely intimidating but still very exciting. PHC is anticipating 1800-2000 women to rush this year...so it is definitely competitive. I'm really excited to get the process started!

Here is the breakdown for recruitment 2008-09:

19 Party Dec. 6-7 2008
First Invite (12) Jan. 8 2009
Second Invite(6) Jan. 9 2009
Pref Round(3) Jan. 10 2009
BID DAY Jan. 11 2009

and the 19 sororities:

Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Epsilon Phi
Alpha Gamma Delta
Alpha Omicron Pi
Alpha Phi
Alpha Xi Delta
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Gamma
Delta Zeta
Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Phi Mu
Pi Beta Phi
Sigma Delta Tau
Zeta Tau Alpha

And that's all for now! I'm sorry it will be a little while until the formal parties start but I was just so excited I wanted to start a thread now! I will keep you all posted on whatever happens between now and then. Any additional advice or want to know anymore details let me know! Thanks for reading and updates will be coming!

I'm always interested in an IU story because the way they do things is different from most schools. I can't imagine having to wait until AFTER winter break to see who invited me back to the 2nd round!

I also love that I look at IU Bid Day pics and see hoodies, jeans, UGGS, and scarves all around because it's FREEZING. It'd be the same here if we had recruitment in January!

I would love to see a winter rush when it's cold. At Texas, it is always sooo hot that you melt. My mom used to talk about rush back in the 1940s when students came to school with all their clothes to last them until Thanksgiving, and sometimes had to go through rush in hot fall clothes.

It's really not that much fun.......

When it was still "frills" it was definitely NO fun standing outside in the (usually just rain) cold January weather in a short jumper with a short sleeve tshirt for "Wizard of OZ" themed day.

I hate to say that I actually laughed....so very sorry for that! But I miss home (Kentucky) so I would gladly stand outside in the cold rain just to be there.

Fun code names! However, now I have running through my head "You can't have cookies for breakfast, but you can have cookie crisp" from one of their old TV ads!

I love cheerios.... yum yum oaty o's.

I had a dream once that my dog ate all my cheerios - I yelled at him in my dream. And I think in real life. Because he gave me the "why you yell lady" look.

Apparently my dog makes a lot of faces.
