sorority rush advice

it’s just talking to people! don’t stress, it actually was a lot of fun for me at least

overthinking and worrying is just gonna hurt you in the end! go in with a positive attitude and just talk with the sisters :) you'll end up where you belong

it's just talking to people! don't overthink it and i'm sure you'll end up in the right place :)

the girls rushing you are just as nervous! and remember if a house cuts you its because they truly think you’d fit in better somewhere else

Just be yourself also drink water and Get lots of sleep. Or you’ll lose your voice

Make your own decisions.....regardless of what Suzy in your dorm says ‘ABC’ and ‘DEF’ are not the ONLY houses worth joining. ALL chapters IU are among the tippy top of best chapters for their sororities. Their are no ‘bad’ chapters at IU. Period. (That doesn’t mean every house is right for everyone but please don’t let others tell you what your opinion should be.)

Off this website, for one. I guess it's okay for posts like this, as long as you realize ranks are BS. Let your own feelings at each party guide your decision making process. You will know where you fit in. I'd suggest taking notes, because there are a ton of houses here and it all starts to blend together after a while. All you can do is be yourself, look as nice as you can and then just let it sort itself out. It's stressful for the sisters as well. Good luck!

I have terrible anxiety. Before rush I was so nervous I could puke. The first couple of houses I went to I was extremely nervous and awkward. But after you get a feel for it all, it isn’t bad at all!! I actually ended up really enjoying it and I ended up in the house i wanted. I think the biggest thing is just tell yourself “this is sorority rush. I’m stressing myself out over RUSH. think about all the other stressors people are going through right now and I’m freaking out about rush.” Just know it gets so much better as it goes on. Being on the other side of rush is stressful so know that the girl youre talking to is nervous too!

I’m OOS and dropped last year, after on pref round I didn’t connect with any of the two sororities I had left. any suggestions for how to approach this year differently?
