The 5 Stages Of Finding Your Rush Crush
Emma Smith

On college campuses all across America, cheerful young women are lining up outside of sorority houses in search of finding loving sisters to spend their remaining college years with. Behind those closed doors, the recruiters inside are just as nervous as the potential new members outside. We are searching for the perfect girls to add to our legacy of sisterhood. In the midst of this, I developed a head over heels crush. No, not with the cute boy from class or the dog on frat park, but I found a rush crush. This relationship is unlike any other that you will experience. A rush crush is a girl that you want to join your house more than anything in the whole world. She is a woman who you would cry over, immensely, if she does not join your houseShe embodies the values of your chapter. She is perfect in every way, from her personality to her beauty both inside and out. Rush crushes are a hard concept to explain, but when they happen, you just know it was meant to be. A rush crush, just like any other relationship comes with a roller coaster of emotions. Here are the five stages of finding your rush crush.

1. Denial

How can anyone be this perfect? There is no way. How do we have so many things in common? Could you be my soulmate?

2. Stalking

Your perfection is unmatched, so please tell me why your Facebook is on private. No worries, I'll check your Instagram. Dang, locked out. BUT, thank you for having your Vsco link in your bio. YES! I AM IN. Oh my goodness your prom pictures are gorgeous! Lets see your Spotify? Venmo? Youtube Channel? Basically, I should work for the FBI.


3. Anticipation

Girl, I hope you know that you have been on my mind since the open house round of recruitment. I am greatly awaiting your arrival in the next round. I want everyone to meet you and love you just as much as I do. Please come back.

... please


4. Fear

Every round that goes by that I don't see you makes me so incredibly scared. I want you. I need you. Where are you?


5. Acceptance

YAY! I am so glad you came back and accepted a bid to our house. Little do you know I have been rallying for you for the past two weeks. I promise this is a decision you will not regret. Welcome home little nugget. SO happy to have you.


But if you do decide to accept a bid to a different house, just know that I fully respect your decision. You are a great woman who would make a wonderful addition to any chapter (I just hope it is mine).
