Rush Rush Rush

My floor mates and me on the final day of Rush

So last Wednesday through this past Sunday, I participated in the Greek recruitment process called "Rush"...and what a rush it was! It was a series of "parties" (SIX the first night!! and then five, four, and three on the final night...) during which I was asked a billion times, what my name was, where I was living, where I was from, and what my major was. But as the nights went on I began making connections with some girls in my favorite sororities and learned about each chapter's philanthropy and social events. Saturday night was the last night of these speed dating-ish sessions and I had to rank my top three sororities from whom I would be willing to accept a bid (or invitation to join) from on Sunday morning. I never thought that I would go greek but the greek system here at SLU seems so much different, more intimate and better-rounded, than those at big state schools.  Sunday morning I was so nervous to open up my bid but when I did, I had been invited to join DELTA GAMMA! I was welcomed into the group so warmly and was loaded up with "DG" gear!! After a big cheer session with the rest of the sororities, we took pictures, and loaded up into cars and headed to a DG alumni's house to have lunch, play games, and get to know each other better.

From shamrocks to billikens to Delta Gam sisters :)

The only other girl that came to SLU with me from Incarnate Word also pledged DG! It was an exhausting 5 days of rush but I have been able to catch up with all my calculus homework, thank goodness for that Labor Day weekend! Tonight I am having dinner with my "anchor mate" (mentor) and then going to Chapter, which is a once a week meeting for all the girls in Delta Gamma. It feels so nice to be a part of a larger all girls community again. :)

Angie pledged Gamma Phi Beta

Just messin' around :)
