am i a boring pnm?

Jealous? Not sure where you’re from- I was from AL. I was a lot like you. Worked the summer after graduation. Only trip I took was to Disney. And I talked about working. I was first gen college student. Both parents had $$, I could easily afford sorority. However, I THOUGHT I would sound mature and responsible. I was invited back to more OR than NR (I had a LOT of hometown reps). I also wasn’t a partier and said this. They didn’t have Greek rank then. Bottom line- I’m an only child (acting older sometimes comes with that title), was too serious and too mature (not stuck up). I was dropped from every house. I was very upset. Everyone else in my hometown got a bid. I was happy for them and visited their houses but I just wanted to be a part of it too. I went through informal/ COB that spring and joined a house I loved. Fortunately the sisters who rushed me had a lot in common with me! No one from my hometown was in this house. It was NR. I was happy and there 3-1/2 years (til graduation). So my tips? Don’t be too serious. It’s rare to have someone who can have a genuine conversation versus small talk at IWT. Philanthropy round will be better. Unless asked a question, try asking questions about the sister rushing you. Make it about them and their house. Everyone likes to talk about herself/ her house. Don’t mention girls with Daddy’s money. That’s just not classy.

Hey! I rushed last year and I was the same way. I didn’t go anywhere super cool over summer and I worked a lot too. I said I worked a lot over summer along with volunteer, hanging w friends etc and I am now in a house people consider good. Just be yourself, don’t worry nobody will judge you because you didn’t travel anywhere cool..if they did you wouldn’t wanna be in that house anyway :)

no! just be yourself

in preparation for rush, my house tries to focus on making every girl feel comfortable and at home. "you worked? great, sooo many of my sisters worked too! you didn't travel anywhere? oh, neither did I, im trying to save money for a car..."

hope this makes you feel better. please be honest! we want you to have a great time at our house and dont care if you traveld across the world or worked in your hometown.
