Rush......

I know my sorority has as well as others but preparing for rush in the fall is serious business. There are so many things to do and practice before the week of rush workshop and the week the girls going through rush actually come through the houses. Looking on the other side from last year is a total difference! You really have no idea how much goes into that week until you’re doing it yourself. Everything is so planned out and practiced so much so that it looks like its not that big of a deal to coordinate all the times and songs and how people come in and everything that goes into having there girls in that particular house. The songs and everything is way more thought out that I would have ever imagined. There are also events in the spring that need to be worked out and function properly and Panhellenic weekend to get a sororities name out there. Panhellenic is the biggest and most important time for sororities to really step up their game and let everyone know who they are. And its not only the Panhellenic Association that does the most coordination. The only thing that they provide is the workshop one day out of the weekend to tell the girls who choose to go about every sorority our campus has to offer and to try to prepare them for the week before school they have ahead of them. The rest of the weekend is left up to the sororities. It is there job to offer other entertainment options and meet as many girls as they can before rush actually starts. Just thinking about it now is really taxing because there are so many things that lie ahead that have to do with rush and the preparations are never ending. Its still just amazing to me the things these girls don’t know we do for them. Being in a sorority, I think, is a great thing to do especially on such a big campus. Alabama’s rush is one of the hardest rushes in the country and I think its something to be proud of. The days are long and hard but really to me, in the end its all worth it to find the friends you’ll have for the rest of your life.
