53 Thoughts Every Girl Has During Rush

Around this time of year is special for some universities; no it has nothing to do with sports, or clubs, or any alum. This time of year is when sororities begin their recruitment process!! How exciting! It’s a time of great stress, many tears, and lots of surface level conversations. Depending on the school I’m guessing it is cold as my finite professor’s heart. But no matter which university you attend, I think we can all agree that the rush process is brutal. From start to finish, a hopeful girl is running around her campus trying to make it on time to her potential house all while dodging black ice and fraternity boys yelling out to them. I recently went through the process myself and had many thoughts during the whole thing.

Day 1: Four rounds. You have to show up to the first round an hour before it actually starts, it’s also in the 19 degrees out.

1. Oh my god why are we here an hour early?

2. Are they going to let us wait inside?

3. I should’ve brought a scarf.

4. My mom would be so mad to know that I only brought a jacket.

5. How long has it been?

6. It’s only been ten minutes, are you kidding me??

7. How are the Rho-gams so peppy?

8. I don’t understand why they can’t let us in.

9. I literally can’t feel my toes.

10. How long has it been?

11. Only 15 more minutes, all right I can wait.

12. Oh they’re opening the door!!

13. Wow that was so loud.

14. Aw these girls are so cute!

15. So many blondes here…

16. No you can’t take my jacket I am freezing!!

Day 2: Eleven rounds. There are 11 houses starting at 8am; mostly walking to all of them because the buses are non-existent. Also, be prepared for a blizzard.

17. Please, please, please let us wait inside.

18. OH THANK GOD THEY LET US IN.

19. Don’t worry mom I am layered four times.

20. Time to go back outside in what looks like Antarctica.

21. I think I might be slightly deaf after today… worth it.

22. When is lunch?

23. Oh my god that girl fell down.

24. Oh she’s up that means I get to laugh now.

25. What should I have for lunch?

26. How many times am I going to tell the same story over and over again?

27. Okay this chic is so not into anything I am saying.

28. I need a nap so badly.

29. I would give up my left kidney for a nap right now.

30. The lines for the bathroom is so long, come on people!!

31. I should’ve worn two pairs of socks.

32. What was the point of doing my hair if it’s all frizzy now?

33. Ugh this is horrible, why am I out in this weather??

34. The freshman in my group are so annoying, I don’t care that your mom was a tri-delta.

35. WHERE IS THE BUS?

36. My mouth is so dry I don’t think I can speak anymore.

37. Oh great it’s dark at 5:30pm.

Day 3: Nine rounds. Only nine more houses and it is a toasty 25 degrees without wind, it’s your time to shine.

38. Will I ever be warm again?

39. I should’ve brought snacks.

40. I totally have goldfish in my room why didn’t I bring some.

41. Yeah I am definitely a little deaf today.

42. My voice is on its way out.

43. I swear if I have to say my major one more time.

44. Oh these girls are super sweet!

45. Aw I want to be in this house!!

46. Another girl falls victim to the black ice.

47. Where is my chap stick?

48. Where is my debit card, I am going to order jimmy johns.

49. I feel like the sponge bob episode where he yells I need water

50. I think my hair is frozen.

51.Okay how bad do I want to be in a sorority?

52. I could just walk away, just go straight back to my warm bed.

53. No come on you spent money on this.

And that was just the first three days! The whole process is about two weeks long, of waiting and hoping to get your favorite houses back.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
